　　1.它是中国黄河流域古代文化的发祥地之一：其中“黄河流域”译为the Yellow River basin;“发祥地”即“发源地”，译为birthplace.

　　2.“五岳”之首：可译为 the head of the Five Great Mountains.

　　3.因其山峰险峻，景色壮丽而闻名于世：其中“因…闻名于世”可译为be famed for或用be celebrated for表达：“山峰险峻”即“险峻的山峰”，译为 precipitous peaks;“景色壮丽”即“壮丽的景色”，译为magnificent sceneries.

　　4.历代帝王纷纷到此封禅、祭告天地：其中“历代帝王”译为emperors of all dynasties：“纷纷”即“多”，而前句中"emperors"用复数已表达出“多”的含义，故可省略翻译：“封禅、祭告天地”可译为worship and offer sacrifices to the heaven and earth.
