请将下面这段话翻译成英文：
《红楼梦》问世二百年以来,通过汉文原文和各种译文读过此书的人,不知有多少亿!这么多的读者哪一个是先看批评家的文章,然而再让批评家牵着鼻子走,按图索骥地去读原作呢?我看是绝无仅有的。一切文学作品,特别是象《红楼梦》这样伟大的作品,内容异常地丰富,涉及到的社会层面异常地多,简直象是一个宝山，一座迷宫。而读者群就更加复杂，他们来读《红楼梦》，会各就自己的特点，欣赏该书中的某一个方面，受到鼓舞，受到启发，引起了喜爱;也可能受到打击，引起了憎恶。总之是千差万别。
参考翻译：
Ever since the publication of A Dream of Red Mansions some 200 years ago, hundreds of millions of people have read its Chinese original or its translations in various languages. Of these innumerable people, how many have read the novel by starting with a perusal of the critics’ articles and allowing themselves to be led by the nose by the critics as to how to read the novel? Next to none. All literary works, especially a monumental one like A Dream of Red Mansions, are extremely rich in content and involve diverse social strata-to such an extent that they virtually resemble a mountain of treasure or a labyrinth. And the readers are even more complicated, differing from each other in family background. They will each appreciate a certain aspect of the novel according to their own individuality. They may feel inspired and enlightened, and hence love it, or they may feel hurt, and hence loathe it. In short, the reactions vary.

请将下面这段话翻译成英文：
转基因食品(Genetically Modified Food;GMF)是利用基因工程技术生产的食品。它具有产量高、营养丰富、抗病力强等优势，但也存在明显的缺陷—可能会造成基因污染(genecontamination)。因此，转基因食品的安全性一直是一个有争议的话题。在中国，政府和科学界支持转基因作物的推广，却持续引发信任危机。鉴于人们对相关农产品的安全担忧，中国政府草拟了新的粮食法，试图对转基因食品进行更严格的管理。该法规定，任何单位和个人不得在主要粮食品种(principal grain cultivars)上应用转基因技术。
参考翻译:
Genetically Modified Food/GMF refers to foodproduced by applying the technology of geneticengineering. It has the advantages of highproductivity, rich nutrition and strong diseaseresistance, etc. But its defect is also apparent—itmay lead to gene contamination. Thus, the safety of GMF remains a controversial topic. InChina, the government and the scientific community support the promotion of geneticallymodified crops, but touch off a continuous trust crisis. In view of people's concern about thesafety of related agricultural produces, the Chinese government has drafted a new grainlaw，intending to impose a stricter management on GMF. The law requires that no entity andindividual should apply genetically modified technology to the principal grain cultivars.
1.第二句比较长，可拆译成两句，前一句说明转基因食品的优势，后一句说它的缺陷。句中含有“但”，表示转折关系，可以使用But来连接两个句子。“产量高、营养丰富、抗病力强”可采用“形容词+名词”结构，译成high productivity, richnutrition and strong disease resistance。
2.“却持续引发信任危机”这句话中，“引发”在英文里不是持续性动词，不能用continuously来修饰，因此本句可理解为“却引发了持续的信任危机”,译成but touch off a continuous trust crisis。
3.倒数第二句“鉴于人们…更严格的管理”可将“中国政府草拟了新的粮食法”作为句子主干，把“试图对转基因食品进行更严格的管理”处理成现在分词短语作状语，对主语作进一步的补充说明。
4.最后一句可使用宾语从句的结构，译为The law requires that...。“任何单位和个人不得…”翻译时可将“不”字放在前面，修饰“任何单位和个人”，译为no entity and individual should apply...，该译法带有强调意味;也可处理成普通译法 any entity and individual should not apply...。

2.第二句由三个分句构成，可将“它不以盈利为目的'，属于非商业性广吿”处理成主句，即it is a noncommercial anddoes not aim at making profit。“是社会公益事业的重要组成部分”可采用“as+名词短语” 结构，译作as asignificant part of the cause of the public good，置于句首。这样翻译比译为并列句或定语从句更加简洁明了。

4.最后一句可将“中央电视台举办了首次电视公益广告大赛”处理为英文句的主干。“呼吁…”可采用现在分词appealing to...作伴随状语。
