[解析] 1．翻译第一句时需要注意本句应采用现在完成时。除了像参考译文那样，按顺序翻译外，本句还可以采用“时间、地点作主语+witness/see”的表达方式，即本句还可译为“In recent years, China's cities have witnessed accelerated development and significant improvements in the urban living environment.”。

    2．翻译第二句时，可以像参考译文那样，将第一个分句译为主句，将“城市功能不断完善，治理水平明显提高”处理为现在分词作伴随状语，注意需增加resulting in或者leading to；也可以将这两个分句译为with引导的伴随结构，或者也可以将本句拆分翻译，把后两个分句译为一句。

    3．第三句非常长，翻译时要根据意群和句子间的逻辑将其进行拆分翻译。本句可以采用一般现在时或现在完成进行时。翻译时可以像参考译文那样，在原文分号位置将句子拆分来翻译，也可以选择将每两个分句译为一句，使译文更加简洁。遇到此类长难句时，可以将其拆分，翻译时注意时态、单复数、单词拼写等。
