　　请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

　　1.在第一句中，“创作于明清时期”和“四部最伟大、最有影响力的”都是修饰“小说”的前置定语，为了避免译文累赘，可将“创作于明清时期的”用过去分词作定语表达，置于“小说”之后。

　　2.第二句可直接按照汉语语序来翻译，“阅读四大名著”可用动名词reading...作主语。

　　3.倒数第二句“四部小说都已被改编成…”,可将“四部小说被改编成…”作为主干结构“广受到…的喜爱”用过去分词短语favored by...表达，在句子中作状语。

　　4.最后一句由三个分句组成，如果直译成三个英文句子，句式会显得沉闷。参考译文将第一个分句用现在分词结构表达，译为being high in artistic standard，置于句首作状语;第二、三个分句则用并列连词and来连接。

　　2.在“在中国，继续教育有自学考试…等多种授课方式”这一句中有两个动词：“包括”、“有”。可以像参考译文那样将第二个分句翻译成with various teaching methods, such as...，也可以将此句译成两个独立的分句。
