    4．第四句中的“来自不同地区的人可能听不懂对方的方言”与“他们交流起来几乎没有任何困难”之间是转折关系，故用连词although/but或副词however连接。“由于汉字有统一的书写形式”为原因状语从句，用because引导。

    5．第五句中，“对……发挥了重要作用”可以使用短语play a crucial part in...、play an important role in...或者play a vital role in...。“对团结中华民族发挥了重要作用”还可以翻译为played a quite important role in unifying the Chinese nation。

    6．翻译第六句时，“随着……”常译为介词结构with...，后面接名词或动名词；“其他国家的人”可以翻译为people who come from other countries，也可以译为people in other countries，使句子更简洁。
