Kaohsiung Harbor, the largest international port in Taiwan and the third big container terminal of the world, is located in the southwest of Kaohsiung. The port is vast, the hinterland is wide and the weather is warm. There are a strip of sand bar near the sea, an advantageous geography, and a natural bay. Nowadays, due to the water area covers 26.66 square kilometers and the entire length of the navigation channel covers 18 kilometers, large ships below 10 thousand tons are allowed getting in and out.

To May:

1. ...THIRD BIGGEST CONTAINER HARBOR IN THE WORLD.

2. "There are a strip of sand bar near the sea, an advantageous geography, and a natural bay."

IT SOUNDS LIKE 高雄港有三寶:沿海沙洲、有利的地理、以及一個自然的海灣。(與原文有異)

THE HARBOR COVERS A WIDE AREA WITH A VAST HINTERLAND.


2. "due to the water area covers 26.66 square kilometers and the entire length of the navigation channel covers 18 kilometers, large ships below 10 thousand tons are allowed getting in and out." 邏輯有誤

due to the wide water area covered by the harbor...

due to the fact that...

"due to" 後面不可接句子,只可接名詞片語等;如要接句子,可用due to the fact that...

Kaohsiung Harbor is located in the southwest of Kaohsiung. It is the biggest international harbor of Taiwan and also the third largest container port of the world. The dockland is broad, the hinterland is wide, and the weather is pleasant. Due to the fact that there are long and narrow sand bars and the gulf is natural, the location is advantageous. Now day the water area covers 26.66 square kilometers and the navigation channel covers 18 kilometers, so it is able to carry a giant steamer under 100 thousand tons.

To Kun:

1. "Due to the fact that there are long and narrow sand bars and the gulf is natural, the location is advantageous."

THE LOGIC IN THE ABOVE SENTENCE SOUNDS NOT AGREEABLE TO THE THAT IN THE SOURCE TEXT.

2. "Now day the water area covers 26.66 square kilometers..."

NOWADAYS THE WATER AREA COVERS...

3. "ACCOMMODATE" IS BETTER THAN "CARRY."

KAOHIUNG HARBOR,
(HARBOR SOUNDS LARGER THAN PORT)

2. "the biggest international port"

WHICH IS THE LARGEST INTERNATIONAL HARBOR IN TAIWAN, THE THIRD LARGEST CONTAINER PORT IN THE WORLD.

3. "The area is vast, the hinterland is extensive, and the climate is temperate here."

IT IS NOTED FOR ITS VAST AREA, EXTENSIVE HINTERLAND, AND MODERATE CLIMATE.

4. "in coast."

...ALONG (PARALLEL TO) THE COAST.

5. "Geographical condition here is ascendant, and gulf is formed naturally."

...THAT (WHICH) FORMS A NATURAL BAY FOR THE HARBOR.

譯為中文時,有時需要重組原文句子的順序 -- 合理化

3."Today in the port have the waters area 26.66 square kilometers and the route span 18 kilometers."

TODAY THE PORT HAS ...OF WATER AREA AND ITS NEVAGATION CHANNEL SPANS....

To Carol:

1. Pretty good translation except for the following:

"There are long and narrow sand bars which gulf is natural. Geographical condition is advantageous."

(ACTUALLY, THERE IS ONLY ONE LONG AND NARROW SANDBAR OUTSIDE OF THE HARBOR, WHICH IS 旗津)
