Since then, the Chinese kite was gradually introduced to the wholeworld.
1.鳶:鳶指老鷹。根據短文表達語義，翻譯時“鳶”也可以漢語拼音爲譯文, 即:yuan。
2.費時三年，以木製木鳶，飛昇天空:三個短句的語義比較簡單，但都缺少主語，且主語有所不同，翻譯時需增補其主語以保證句子成分完整，即“(墨子)費時三年，以木製木鳶，(風箏)飛昇天空”。同時，按照英語語言結構特點把零散的短句翻譯成有邏輯關係的從句。
3.周邊國家:可譯爲neighboring countries 或者surrounding countries。
4.探險家馬可·波羅:探險家可譯爲explorer或者adventurer;注意類似馬可·波羅等人名平時要多加積累，防止寫錯。
