参考答案

The observation deck,263 meters high,is the best place to get a bird's eye view of the city.On a sunny day,the deck commands an indistinct view of Sheshan,Jinshan and the Chongming Island far away.Standing on the deck.one gets the feeling that the world is belittled.以上的这段译文中，“高达263米，鸟瞰全市景色”都采用了准确和精练的直译。删除了引自《论语》中的一句话“登泰山而小天下”，进行了翻译中的省略处理。原文中引用此语无非是形容观光层之高。如果要将“泰山”译出，反而容易引起歧义。
