【參考譯文】
In order to make education more equitable, China has invested 36 billion to improve educational facilities in rural areas and strengthen the rural compulsory education in the central and western regions of China. The fund has been used to improve teaching facilities and buying books. 160 thousands primary and secondary schools have benefited from it. The fund has also been used to purchase music and painting equipments. So nowadays, children in rural and mountainous areas can also have music and painting lessons as children in coastal cities. The children once transferred to city schools in order to receive better education now come back to the local rural school again.
【點評】
這篇英語四級翻譯需要大家特別注意的是文中的兩個數(shù)字，數(shù)字在漢譯英的過程中是相當重要的，如果考生在英語四級翻譯數(shù)字時出現(xiàn)錯誤，會很容易失分。
