据说如果地球上真有人间仙境，九寨沟(Jiuzhaigou Valley)—定是其中之一。它有梦境般的风景：蓝色的湖泊、瀑布、翠绿的森林、白雪皑皑的山脉，还有藏族和羌族人民(theTibetan and Qiang peoples)的民间习俗。九寨沟不仅仅有壮观的景色，还是九个藏族村寨的居住地，还有超过220种鸟类以及许多濒临灭绝的动植物物种。它在1992年被联合国教科文组织宣布为世界文化遗产。九寨沟一年四季的美景使它成为中国最的景点之一。
参考翻译:
It is said that if there should be wonderlands on theearth, Jiuzhaigou Valley must be one of them. It hasdreamlike scenery, which combines bluelakes,waterfalls, verdant forests, snow-coveredmountains, and the folk customs of the Tibetan andQiang peoples. More than just spectacular scenery, Jiuzhaigou Valley is home to nine Tibetanvillages, over 220 bird species as well as a number of endangered plant and animal species.Jiuzhaigou Valley was declared a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 1992. It providesspectacular scenery throughout four seasons of the year, making it one of China's most well-known scenic sites.
1.据说如果地球上真有人间仙境，九寨沟一定是其中之一:该句前半句的“如果…”可判断出它表示与现在的事实相反，所以要用现在时的虚拟语气，即should+do的形式。其中“人间仙境”可译为wonderlands on the earth。
2.九寨沟不仅仅有壮观的景色，还是九个藏族村寨的居住地，还有超过220种鸟类以及许多濒临灭绝的动植物物种：其中“不仅仅有”可译为more than,是“超过，多于”的意思。“…的居住地”可以理解为“是…的故乡”，故可用be home to…表示，这是英语中常见的表达方式，如：China is home to the panda.(中国是熊猫的故乡。)
3.九寨沟一年四季的美景使它成为中国最的景点之一:“一年四季的美景”可以翻译为所有格的形式，但译为it provides spectacular scenery throughout four seasons of the year,会使译文增色不少。后半句部分因前半句出现了谓语动词provide,所以可用making it…来引导后半句，作句子的伴随状语。
