Answer 1

参考译文：他们这座城市收藏了一个菩提树的分枝，据说佛祖本人就是在这颗菩提树下成的佛。
原文中有如下语法点：
1.介词短语under which引导定语从句Buddha himself…enlightment修饰the Budhi tree.之所以用under which引导，道理是这样：假如该定语从句独立出来成一句话，应该是Buddha himself was said to have attained enlightment under the Budhi tree.将这个句子变成定语从句就应该是（the Budhi tree在前面）把句末的介词短语中的under前置并用which指代the Budhi tree，结果就成了under which Buddha himself…enlightment.
2.几个有用的词汇：
①house在这里的意思是“收藏”；
②Budhi tree---“菩提树”；
③be said to have done sth.---“据说/被说成是 做了某事”；
④to attain enlightment---“成佛”。

Answer 2

他们的城市收容了据说佛祖曾在其底下坐化顿悟的菩提树的侧枝。
