读书评译（１７）：“洛阳的西面”
《实用翻译教程》（上海外语教学出版社，１９９７）所引汉语（３６９－３７０页）和英译（４５０页）：
有一天，正对西方的龙嘴突然张开，铜球落了下来。张衡判断洛阳的西面发生了地震。几天以后，果然得到报告，那一天那里发生了地震。
One day the mouth of the dragon facing due west suddenly opened and the copper ball fell out. Zhang Heng assessed that there was an earthquake west of Luoyang. A few days later, it was reported that an earthquake had taken place in Luoyang that day.
评：汉语的“那里”是指“洛阳”还是“洛阳的西面”？
（用甲A的行话说，就是，球进了球门还是飞到了球门的西边？）

I like to hazard a guess.张衡and his seismometer were in 洛阳 and and the earthquake happened
west of 洛阳.
Was 洛阳 the capital at that time ? If so, it is more likely that Zheng was stationed
there..

"IN the west of Luoyang" or "TO the west of Luoyang"?

地震发生在洛阳西面，还是发生在洛阳西城区？球是飞到球门西边去了，还是挂入了球门的西上角？
不过根据汉语原意理解，应该是在洛阳西面。否则也不用几天以后才接到报告。要么就是官僚作风太严重，一点也不象我们足协。

west of 洛阳，就是to the west of洛阳（界外球）
