本句采用的是并句技巧，把汉语中的四个语言单位合译成英语的一个句子；汉译英时注意利用分词、介词、连词、不定式，从句和独立结构等把汉语短句连成长句。另外将“世界屋脊”译成the "Roof of the World"。

本句采用的是并句技巧，把汉语中的两个语言单位合译成英语的一个句子；此外汉译英时语序作了调整：因为汉语是主题显著的语言，它所突出的是主题而不是主语，而英语是主语显著的语言，它所突出的是主语，汉语中常用“人”作主语(本句中是“百姓”)，而汉译英时，常选取句子中应突出的被阐述的对象作为主语，本句选取了news作主语：其一，“新闻”在原文中是非常重要的信息，在译文中应突出：其二，用news作主语可以使后面的谓语部分及其他部分的行文更为洗炼、简洁，也更符合英语的表达习惯。

5．当地百姓能够通过电话、电报，传真或互联网等手段获取信息资料，并与全国和全世界各地取得联系。Local people can obtain information from and make contacts with other parts of the country and the world through telephone, telegram, fax or the Internet.

本句的翻译还是要注意语序问题：状语在汉语中习惯放在主语之后，谓语之前(见本句原文)；但有时为了强调，也可将状语置于主语之前。英语中状语的位置则富于变化，但较长的状语则往往放在句首或句末(见本句译文)。因此，译文中的结构是主谓宾状，其中谓语是obtain information和make contacts；状语是from(telephone, telegram, fax or the Internet)and…with other parts of the country and the world through telephone, telegram, fax or the Internet。

6．由于缺医少药状况得到根本改变，人民群众的健康水平大幅度提高。西藏人均预期寿命由二十世纪五十年代的35.5岁增加到现在的67岁。The Tibetan people’s health has also improved substantially, because the situation featuring a lack of both doctors and medicine has changed fundamentally. The average life expectancy of the Tibetan people has increased from 35.5 years in the 1950s to 67 years presently.
