Which translation is better for native speakers? I'm practicing E-C translation. It's quite tricky because I don't know if my translation make sense to native speakers. The first one is my original answer. The second one is a revised version after I checked the model answer. The third one is the model answer. 1. As night falls, thousands of lanterns along the bank as well as the sky were lightened up, illuminating the small town and lighting the way home for locals. 2. As night falls, thousands of lanterns along the river, together with the sky glowed by sunset, make a dazzingly bright town, lighting up the way home for locals. 3. At dusk, thousands of lanterns along the river are jioned by sunset glow to make for a brightly lit town, lighting up the way home for locals.
