　　1.第一句中的“一場反帝反封建的政治運(yùn)動(dòng)”修飾語很長，可一一對(duì)應(yīng)地翻譯成形容詞，并列作定語，即an anti-imperialist, anti-feudal, political and cultural movement。

　　2.翻譯第三句“五四運(yùn)動(dòng)是以青年學(xué)生…”時(shí)，可將“是一次愛國運(yùn)動(dòng)”作為句子主干，“市民、商人和工人等廣泛參與的”處理成with broad participation by...修飾“愛國運(yùn)動(dòng)(patriotic movement)”，“以青年學(xué)生為主力”則使用in which引導(dǎo)的定語從句來表達(dá)。

　　3.“抗議軟弱的政府，要求恢復(fù)國家主權(quán)”是舉行各種活動(dòng)的最終目的，可使用不定式來表達(dá)，譯為to protest the weak government and claim to recover the national sovereignty。

　　4.最后—句中的“人民共和國成立后正式宣5月4日為中國青年節(jié)”，漢語原文中沒有主語，翻譯時(shí)可采用被動(dòng)語態(tài)。
