2．夹岸数百步，中无杂树﹐芳草鲜美，落英缤纷；

1/ It lined both banks for several hundred paces and included not a single other kind of tree. Petals of the dazzling and fragrant blossoms were falling everywhere in profusion.

2/ On either bank for several hundred yards there were no other kinds of trees. The fragrant grass was beautiful to look at, all patterned with fallen blossoms.

原句很美，“芳草鲜美”和“落英缤纷”已成汉语之常用成语。

咀嚼之下，上译回避了“芳草鲜美”;下译未能译出“落英缤纷”之“落”（falling, 而非单纯的fallen），若能跳出表层转换，“芳草鲜美，落英缤纷”是否能重组如下：

… petals of the dazzling blossoms were falling upon the exquisite carpet of lush grass. 

英语常使用名词carpet的转义，透出了形象美，如：

… ground carpeted with fallen leaves / 复盖着落叶的地面

The valley is carpeted with cherry blossoms. / 山谷一片樱花。

改译：

On either bank for several hundred yards there were no other kinds of trees. Petals of the dazzling blossoms were falling upon the exquisite carpet of lush grass.
