參考答案:

Dragons are deeply rooted in the Chinese culture. The Chinese often consider themselves as “the descendants of the dragon”. The dragon looks like a combination of many kinds of animals. Traditionally, it is regarded as the immortal of rainfalls in Chinese culture and symbolizes the emperor and power. It is said that people born in the year of the dragon are powerful. In the minds of the ancient Chinese people, the dragon was a god that embodied the will and ideals of the Chinese people. Nobody had any doubts about the existence of dragons. It seems that the dragon is capable of managing almost anything.

1.龍深深地植根于中國(guó)文化之中：這句話可以翻譯為一個(gè)被動(dòng)句，其主語(yǔ)是 dragons,謂語(yǔ)是root in的被動(dòng)式are rooted in, be rooted in意為“來源于，固定于，生根于”。
2.中國(guó)人經(jīng)常稱自己為龍的傳人:“稱”譯為consider，它是及物動(dòng)詞，后面可以跟雙賓語(yǔ)，常用的結(jié)構(gòu)是be considered as,意思是“被認(rèn)為/看作是...”；“傳人”可譯為descendant，意思是“后裔，子孫”，“龍的傳人”就是the descendants of the dragon。另外“炎黃子孫”可以譯為 Chinese descendant。
3.據(jù)說，龍年出生的人是強(qiáng)大的：“據(jù)說”是英語(yǔ)中常用的表達(dá)，可譯為It is said that…, that后跟一個(gè)從句，類似的句型還有It's reported that..(據(jù)報(bào)道…）It's learned that".(據(jù)悉…)。
4.它幾乎是萬能的：“萬能的”可譯為be capable of doing anything。
