1、漢譯英：1徐霞客一生周游考察了十六個(gè)省，足跡幾乎遍及全國。他在考察的過程中，從來不盲目迷信書本上的結(jié)論。他發(fā)現(xiàn)前人研究地理的記載有許多很不可靠的地方。為了進(jìn)行真實(shí)細(xì)致的考察，他很少乘車坐船，幾乎全靠雙腳翻山越嶺，長途跋涉；為了弄清大自然的真相，他總是挑選道路艱險(xiǎn)的山區(qū)，人跡稀少的森林進(jìn)行考察，發(fā)現(xiàn)了許多奇山秀景；他常常選擇不同的時(shí)間和季節(jié)，多次重游各地名山，反復(fù)觀察變換的奇景。XuXiaketouredinvestigated16pro

10、時(shí)期，半封建、半殖民地時(shí)期進(jìn)入了社會主義社會。這具有歷史意義的變化使中國家庭的結(jié)構(gòu)也改變了。人口眾多的大家庭開始分成較小的家庭和直系家庭，總的趨勢是出現(xiàn)了越來越多的核心家庭。Thestructureofthefamilywhichisabasicunitofthesocietychangesalongwiththedevelopmentofthesociety.InChinasfeudalsocietywhichlastedsevera
