　　1. In 1840 Britain shamelessly launched war on China for a criminal purpose- to protect their opium trade.
　　本句中文断成二句，有人译为“In 1840 Britain shamelessly launched a war on China. Their criminal purpose was to protect the opium purpose.” 英译汉合为一句更为简洁，其中“其罪恶目的”可译为介词短语for a criminal purpose。
　　2. In August 1842, the Treaty of Nanjing, the first unequal treaty imposed on China by a Western power, was signed on board a British battleship anchored near Nanjing. The treaty stipulated that China should pay Britain an indemnity of 21,000,000 silver dollars, cede Hongkong to Britain, open five prots(Gungzhou, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Ningbo, and Shanghai) to foreign trade, and tarriffs on British goods should be fixed by mutual agreement.
　　3. In other words, China gave Britain the right of consular jurisdiction and unilateral most-favored-nation treatment.
