1.第1句中的“据新华社报道称”译为AccordingtoXinhuaNewsAgency即可，省译“报道”一词。定语“中国人每年浪费的较长，故将其处理成后置定语，用分词短语wastedbyChinesepeopleeveryyear来表达。

2.第2句中的“是......的两倍”可套用句型twiceas...as。“大学生浪费的食物数量是全国平均量的两倍”如果逐字对译为theamountoffoodwastedbycollegestudentsistwiceasmuchasthenationalaverage则句子较繁冗,可通过转换主语和谓语，将此句译为collegestudentswastetwiceasmuchfoodasthenationalaverage则更简洁明了。

3.第4句承前省略了主语“高校食堂”，英译时需补上，可用代词也可来指代。方式状语“通过提高饭菜的质量、提供小份菜等举措”用介词短语byadoptingmeasureslikeimproving...andoffering...来表达。“鼓励学生参与”可表达为encouragestudentstojoinin...。

4.最后一句中的“要为杜绝食物浪费”表目的，故将其处理成目的状语,用不定式短语toeliminatefoodwaste来表达。
