1.第1句中将“原名昌南”处理为插入语，用分词短语formerlynamed Changnan来表达，也可处理为Whose 引导的非限制性定语从句，译作whose former name was Changnan。
2.第2句中的“景德镇历史悠久，是中国……”，将“历史悠久”处理为“with+名词短语”作状语，将后半句作主句,译作 With a long history, Jingdezhen is...，表达简洁紧凑。
3.第4句“在明代，大量景德镇瓷器销往国外，极大地推动了……，扩大了……”较长，注意分析各个分句之间的关系：“在明代”为时间状语置于句首，“大量景德镇瓷器销往国外”为原因，作主句，“极大地推动了……， 扩大了……”为结果，将其处理为结果状语，用现在分词短语来表达，整句译作In the Ming Dynasty, lots of Jingdezhen's chinaware was exported to foreign countries, greatly promoting...and extending... 。
4.翻译最后一句“由于制瓷历史久远、瓷器产品质地精良、对外销量大，景德镇获得了‘瓷都’的称号”时，如果逐字对译为 because of its long history of chinaware production... Jingdezhen has earned the title of...，则会由于原因状语过长而使句子显得头重脚轻。宜将原因状语后置。此处的“由于”为褒义，用thanks to 表达更确切，故译为 Jingdezhen has earned the title of..., thanks to...。
