参考翻译
石狮(stone lion)由石头刻成，是中国传统建筑中常见的装饰物。一般来说，石狮是指大门外的一对狮子;然而，他们的外表却不是我们所熟悉的狮子。也许中国古代的大多数中原人从未见过真正的狮子。据说，狮子是在汉朝时由西域(theWestern Region)引入中国的。在中国文化中，狮子是神话中的形象，而非真正的动物。狮子被视为神兽(divine beast)。中国人认为它可以驱除邪灵。一般情况下，根据中国传统文化，石狮应该是一对。通常雌狮子的两爪之间会刻一只幼狮，而雄狮则是用一只爪子玩球。
1.由石头刻成:可译为is carved out of stone。注意这里介词out of的使用。

4.不是我们所熟悉的狮子:“我们所熟悉的狮子”可用定语从句译为the lions we are familiar with，be familiar with意为“对...熟悉”。
5.引入:使用词组be introduced into表达。
6.驱除邪灵:可译为drive away the evil spirits。
