　　难点点拨：

　　1. 位于长江入海口：可译为located in the river mouth of the Yangtze River。

　　2.上海是中国最大的经济中心，是全国最重要的工业基地，也是重要的贸易、金融和文化中心：三个分句之间是并列关系，译成英语时也相应地译为并列句。

　　3.世界第三、亚洲第一高塔：可译为the world's third-highest and Asia's highest tower。

　　4.旅游景点：可译为tourist attraction。

　　5.有古今，有中外：可译为both ancient and modern, home and abroad。
