1.书法在中国的传统艺术领域占有非常重要的位置：“书法”译为calligraphy;“占有”可译为occupy，occupy常用的短语还有occupy oneself in，意为“从事于;位置”和“领域”有不同的含义，分别可译为position和field;“传统艺术” 则可译为traditional art。
2.书法被认为是一种需要内心平静的艺术形式：“认为”可译为consider，常用的结构是be considered to be…，意为“被认为是…”;“需要”可译为require; “内心平静”可译为inner peace。
3.今天，尽管出现了各种各样的现代书写方式，但人们仍然经常将书法作为一种业余爱好进行练习：由“尽管...”可知该句可翻译为让步状语从句，“尽管”可用although或though表示，意为“虽然，尽管”，though与although的意思、用法一样，在其引导的句子中，不需要再用but这个连词;“出现”可译为come up,另外它还有“发生;发芽”的意思。
