The May 4th Movement is much more than a historical case; it is a spirit showing the young people's concern about the future and destiny of the country,and manifesting the young people's responsibility and mission as well as their fiery love towards the nation.
翻译讲解
1.发生于…并转变成…:原文中句子较长，且修饰语很多，但前后句的主语统一，所以在翻译时可将汉语中的“主谓结构”转换成英语中的“从属结构”，可译为taking place...became...这种结构。
2.载入…史册:可译为be included in the annals,还可译为be written
into the annals of history或者go down in history。
3.青年人关注国家前途和命运的一种精神:可译为a spirit showing the young people's concern about the future and destiny of the country,把“关注”由动词转化为名词进行翻译。词性转换的应用，可减少句子的复杂性，体现句式的变化。
4.显示出青年人的责任、使命:翻译为manifest the young people's responsibility and mission。
5.炽热的爱:可译为fiery love,也可翻译为passionate love。
