　　1. 中国越来越重视公共图书馆，并鼓励人们充分加以利用

　　重视 pay attention to/attach importance to

　　充分利用 make full use of / take good advantage of /fully utilize

　　可以处理成并列句 China is paying more and more attention to public libraries and encouraging people to make full use of them.

　　或将前半句处理成介宾结构，逻辑上理解“除了重视公共图书馆，中国还鼓励...”

　　Besides paying more attention to public libraries , China also encourages people to make full use of / take good advantage of /fully utilize them。

　　2. 新近公布的统计数字表明

　　短语形式：According to the statistics newly released ，

　　宾语从句：Newly released statistics show that

　　3.许多图书馆通过翻新和扩建，为读者创造了更为安静、舒适的环境。

　　可用到搭配：provide /create sth for sb

　　offer sb sth

　　【方式状语】通过翻新和扩建through/by renovation and expansion 置于句尾

　　4.大型公共图书馆不仅提供种类繁多的参考资料，而且定期举办讲座、展览等活动

　　直接以“大型公共图书馆”为主语， 与举办讲座、展览，逻辑上有歧义

　　可以用There be 句型处理，将大型公共图书馆变成地点状语，置于句尾。

　　种类繁多的a wide variety of

　　讲座、展览等活动 暗含包含关系 other activities including lectures and exhibitions

　　[定期举办的]做(讲座、展览等活动)的定语，表示种被动关系，可以用非谓语 held 后置进行翻译，即other activities including lectures and exhibitions regularly held

　　There’re not only a wide variety of reference materials, but also other activities including lectures and exhibitions regularly held in large public libraries.

　　5. 一些图书馆还推出了自助服务系统，使读者借书还书更加方便，进一步满足了读者的需求。

　　前两个分句可以处理成定语从句，后面句宾语(读者借书还书)较长，可以用it做形式宾语

　　满足了读者的需求 satisfy/ meet the needs /demands of readers

　　Some libraries have also introduced / launched a self-service system that makes it easier for readers to borrow and return books, further satisfying/ meeting the needs /demands of readers.
