``` 2. **Identify Parts to Translate vs. Keep:** - HTML tags: ``, `
`, ``, `
`, ``, `
` - KEEP EXACTLY AS-IS - City/airport names: "Houston", "HOU", "Hobby Airport" - KEEP UNCHANGED (per instruction: "Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged") - Phone numbers: None present - URLs: None present - Numbers: "$80", "9 miles", "20 and 30 minutes", "5 to 10 minutes" - The instruction says "Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged." It doesn't explicitly say keep numbers unchanged, but typically in localization, numbers and currency symbols might be kept or adapted. However, the instruction says "Keep ALL HTML tags exactly as-is. Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged. Keep phone numbers and URLs unchanged." It doesn't mention numbers, but to be safe and follow the spirit, I should keep numerical values as they are (they're likely universal or should remain for consistency/pricing). Actually, re-read: "Keep ALL HTML tags exactly as-is. Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged. Keep phone numbers and URLs unchanged." It doesn't say "keep numbers unchanged", but translating numbers like "9 miles" to Chinese would need unit conversion or keeping the number. I'll keep the numerical values and units as they are, or adapt them appropriately if possible, but the safest is to keep them as-is since the constraint only explicitly covers tags, city/airport names, phone numbers, and URLs. I'll keep "9 miles", "$80", "20 and 30 minutes", "5 to 10 minutes" as source numbers, or maybe convert units? The prompt says "Translate this airport-shuttle landing-page HTML from English to NATURAL, native Simplified Chinese (Mandarin) for travelers." It doesn't strictly forbid adapting numbers, but the explicit constraints are only about tags, city/airport names/codes, phone numbers, URLs. I will keep numbers as-is in the source, but maybe write them in a Chinese-friendly way while keeping the digits. Actually, to be precise and safe, I'll keep the exact numerical strings as they appear, because changing "9 miles" to "14.5 km" would be altering content, and the constraints don't ask for unit conversion. I'll just translate the text around them, keeping the numbers and units exactly as source. Wait, let me re-read carefully: "Keep ALL HTML tags exactly as-is. Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged. Keep phone numbers and URLs unchanged." It doesn't say "keep numbers unchanged", but it's implied that only those specific things must remain unchanged. I think it's best to keep all numeric values and units as source, because translating "9 miles" to Chinese miles or converting km would be adding/altering info not explicitly allowed. I'll keep "$80", "9 miles", "20 and 30 minutes", "5 to 10 minutes" as is. Actually, in proper Chinese localization, you might keep the numbers but the surrounding text translates. I'll do that. - Key text to translate: - "InterContinental to Houston Hobby Airport Shuttle" -> This is inside ``, keep tag, translate text. But "InterContinental" is a brand name, "Houston Hobby Airport" contains city/airport names that must remain unchanged. So "InterContinental" stays as is (it's a proper name/brand), "Houston" and "Hobby Airport" stay as is per constraint. So the heading becomes: "InterContinental 至 Houston Hobby Airport Shuttle" or similar. Actually, the constraint says "Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged." "InterContinental" is a hotel chain, not a city/airport name/code. I should translate it if it's generically referred to, but it's a proper noun. I'll keep "InterContinental" as is, or maybe translate it to a common Chinese transliteration "洲际". In Chinese travel contexts, "InterContinental" is often translated as "洲际" or kept as "InterContinental". Given it's a brand, I'll keep it as "InterContinental" or use the common Chinese translation "洲际". The prompt says "NATURAL, native Simplified Chinese (Mandarin) for travelers." Travelers in China would recognize "洲际" for InterContinental. But to be safe and follow "keep city/airport names and codes unchanged", "InterContinental" isn't a city/airport. I'll use "洲际" as it's the standard Mandarin translation for the brand, but if the instruction implies keeping proper nouns unchanged unless specified, I need to decide. Actually, many localization tasks keep brand names in English or translate them based on common usage. I'll use "洲际" as it's natural for Simplified Chinese travelers. But wait: the prompt says "Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged." It doesn't say "keep all proper nouns unchanged". I think translating "InterContinental" to "洲际" is appropriate and natural. However, to strictly adhere to the constraints without over-interpreting, I might keep it as "InterContinental" if unsure. Let me check the exact wording: "Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged." That's a specific constraint. "InterContinental" is a hotel brand. I'll translate it to "洲际" as it's the native Simplified Chinese name used in travel contexts. If the system expects it kept, it might fail, but "洲际" is the standard translation. I'll go with "洲际". Actually, re-reading carefully: "Translate this airport-shuttle landing-page HTML from English to NATURAL, native Simplified Chinese (Mandarin) for travelers. Keep ALL HTML tags exactly as-is. Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged. Keep phone numbers and URLs unchanged." It explicitly lists what to keep unchanged. "InterContinental" is neither a city nor airport nor code nor phone nor URL. So I can translate it. I'll use "洲际". Let's parse each line: Line 1: `
InterContinental to Houston Hobby Airport Shuttle
` Translate text: "洲际 至 Houston Hobby Airport Shuttle" - But "to" indicates service direction. In Chinese, it might be "洲际至 Houston Hobby Airport 接驳巴士" or similar. But "Houston Hobby Airport" must stay unchanged. I'll keep "Houston Hobby Airport" exactly. "Shuttle" could be "接驳" or "接驳巴士". I'll make it "洲际至 Houston Hobby Airport 接驳服务" or just "洲际到 Houston Hobby Airport Shuttle". To keep it natural and follow constraints, I'll translate "InterContinental" to "洲际", keep "Houston Hobby Airport" as is, and translate "Shuttle" to "接驳". So: `洲际至 Houston Hobby Airport 接驳

``` Let's identify the parts: - `...
` paragraphs - `...
` heading - Text content inside - `(817) 403-6196` - phone number, must stay unchanged - `ONLINE` - promo code, must stay unchanged (it's text, but constraint says keep URLs unchanged, promo code is not a URL, but I'll keep it as-is per "keep phone numbers and URLs unchanged" - actually it says "Keep phone numbers and URLs unchanged", promo code might be considered text, but I'll keep it unchanged to be safe, as it's likely case-sensitive or system-specific) - No city/airport names or codes present, but if there were, keep unchanged - All HTML tags must remain exactly as-is 3. **Translate the Text Content to Simplified Chinese (Mandarin), targeting travelers:** - Need natural, native-sounding Chinese for travel context. - Keep tone polite, helpful, travel-oriented. Let's translate segment by segment: Segment 1: `Absolutely! Our vehicles are equipped to handle standard-sized luggage comfortably. For larger items, please inform us in advance so we can make sure your driver has the appropriate space and assistance.
` - "Absolutely!" -> "当然！" or "当然可以！" - "Our vehicles are equipped to handle standard-sized luggage comfortably." -> "我们的车辆可以舒适地承接标准尺寸的行李。" - "For larger items, please inform us in advance so we can make sure your driver has the appropriate space and assistance." -> "对于较大的行李，请提前告知我们，以便我们确保司机有足够的空间和协助。" Refined Chinese: "当然！我们的车辆可以舒适地承接标准尺寸的行李。如有较大行李，请提前告知我们，以便我们确保司机有足够的空间和协助。" Segment 2: `What Happens if My Flight is Delayed?
` - This is a heading. Translate the text inside: "What Happens if My Flight is Delayed?" - Natural Chinese: "如果航班延误会怎样？" or "航班延误怎么办？" - Heading typically kept concise. I'll use "如果航班延误怎么办？" which is natural for travelers. - But wait: The constraint says "Keep ALL HTML tags exactly as-is." The `` tag must remain exactly `
`, and the closing `
` exactly ``. The text inside can be translated. So I'll put the Chinese translation inside the h3 tags. Segment 3: `We monitor flight statuses and will adjust your pickup time accordingly. If you experience a delay, simply contact us to update your plans, and we'll work with you to ensure you make it to your terminal on time.
` - "We monitor flight statuses and will adjust your pickup time accordingly." -> "我们会实时监控航班状态，并相应调整接驳时间。" - "If you experience a delay, simply contact us to update your plans..." -> "如果您遇到延误，只需联系我们更新行程..." - "...and we'll work with you to ensure you make it to your terminal on time." -> "...我们将与您合作，确保您准时抵达航站楼。" Refined Chinese: "我们会实时监控航班状态，并相应调整接驳时间。如果您遇到延误，只需联系我们更新行程，我们将与您合作，确保您准时抵达航站楼。" Segment 4: `To book your ride today, call Texas Shuttle at (817) 403-6196 or visit our website.

I'll keep it exactly as is, including the parentheses and spaces exactly as in the original. The original has `(817) 403-6196`. I need to make sure I don't alter it. - "Use promo code ONLINE for a 10% discount on round trips." -> "使用促销代码 ONLINE 可享圆程返程 10% 的折扣。" - Wait: "ONLINE" must stay unchanged per constraints? It says "Keep phone numbers and URLs unchanged." Promo code ONLINE is not a phone number or URL, but it's text. To be safe, I'll keep "ONLINE" exactly as capitalized. I'll translate the surrounding but keep ONLINE as is. - "We look forward to making your travel experience as pleasant as possible!" -> "期待为您带来愉快的旅程体验！" Let's refine the whole thing carefully, keeping HTML tags exactly as original.
