　　三、句子翻譯

　　1. During the 1950s China exported agricultural products to the USSR and East European countries in return for manufactured goods and the capital equipment required for the country‘s industrialization programme which placed emphasis on the development of heavy industry.

　　20世紀(jì)50年代，中國向前蘇聯(lián)和東歐各國出口農(nóng)產(chǎn)品以換取制成品和國家的工業(yè)化計(jì)劃所要求的資本設(shè)備，而國家的工業(yè)化計(jì)劃則強(qiáng)調(diào)重工業(yè)的發(fā)展。

　　2. The growth of foreign trade was distrupted again during the Cultural Revolution when agricultural and industrial production fell sharply and transportation constraints became more serious.

　　3. Exports grew much faster than imports during this period not only because of the strong emphasis placed on exporting by China‘s economic planners， but also because a number of industrial projects were postponed in 1979. Official recognition that foreign technology could play a major role in modernizing the Chinese economy has caused imports to rise by more than 50 per cent in 1978， placing undue strain on the national economy.

　　在這個(gè)時(shí)期，出口增長要快于進(jìn)口增長不僅是由于中國經(jīng)濟(jì)計(jì)劃者著重強(qiáng)調(diào)出口，也是因?yàn)榇蠖喙I(yè)項(xiàng)目在1979年被推遲了。官方承認(rèn)外國技術(shù)能夠在中國經(jīng)濟(jì)的現(xiàn)代化化中起重大作用，這導(dǎo)致了1978年中國的進(jìn)口增加了50%以上，從而給國民經(jīng)濟(jì)帶來了重壓。

　　4. Chinese official stress the importance of introducing advanced technology to domestic industry， but the need is for technology of varying degrees of sophistication，not necessarily for advanced technology as that term is understood in the West.

　　中國官員強(qiáng)調(diào)為國內(nèi)工業(yè)引進(jìn)先進(jìn)技術(shù)的重要性，但是需要的是各種程度不同的精尖技術(shù)，而不是像西方國家理解的先進(jìn)技術(shù)。

　　5. There are no official statistics covering the invisible account of the balance of payments，but the size of the visible trade surplus during 1981-1983 and a pronounced increase in earnings from tourism suggest that the current account has been in surplus over the past few years. 沒有官方的統(tǒng)計(jì)資料涉及無形貿(mào)易收支，但在1981-1983年期間的有形貿(mào)易順差的大小和旅游贏利的顯著增長表明了經(jīng)常項(xiàng)目在過去幾年里有盈余。

　　6. Goods are produced according to a sample provided by the customer，while strong encouragement is given to compensation trade whereby a foreign seller supplies raw materials and equipment and receives manufactured goods， produced by the equipment provided，in return .Compensation trade differs from barter or counter-trade insofar as there is a direct link between the equipment supplied from abroad and the manufactured product. Assembly manufacturing began in 1978 and particular forms of foreign trade are eligible for exemption from customs duties and taxation.

　　根據(jù)顧客提供的樣品來生產(chǎn)產(chǎn)品，同時(shí)強(qiáng)烈鼓勵(lì)補(bǔ)償貿(mào)易。由此國外的供應(yīng)商提供原材料和設(shè)備并收到由其提供的設(shè)備生產(chǎn)出來的制成品作為回報(bào)。補(bǔ)償貿(mào)易在某種程度上不同于易貨貿(mào)易和反向貿(mào)易，在國外提供的設(shè)備和制成品中有直接的聯(lián)系。來件組裝始于1978年，特殊的對(duì)外貿(mào)易形式有資格免除關(guān)稅和其他稅收。

　　7. The debt problems confronting a number of developing countries have reinforced China‘s determination to introduce foreign technology by means of direct investment and concessionary finance rather than by raising substantial sums of money on the international capital markets. The authorities do not consider it appropriate to incur large amounts of external debt until a number of practical bottlenecks in the economy， such as an inadequate transport network and energy constraints， have been tackled.

　　許多發(fā)展中國家面對(duì)的債務(wù)問題使中國在引進(jìn)外國技術(shù)時(shí)下了這樣的決心：采用直接投資和優(yōu)惠付款方式融資，而不是在國際資本市場(chǎng)籌集大額的資金。在經(jīng)濟(jì)中的許多實(shí)際瓶頸，如運(yùn)輸網(wǎng)絡(luò)的不足和能源缺乏被克服以前，官方認(rèn)為招來大筆外債的做法是不妥當(dāng)?shù)摹?/P>

　　明顯地，滿懷信心的中國卷起了大部分的竹幕，并宣布向外部世界開放，打出邀請(qǐng)外國投資者來它所有的城市投資項(xiàng)目的招牌。

　　2.The literally， this does not make more sense as the parts of the coast which have not been “opened” are simply not ready for the demands of foreign businessman.

　　從字面上來理解，這沒有太大的意義，由于部分沿海城市還沒有為外商的需求做好準(zhǔn)備。

　　3.In the SEZs， which are being built almost from scratch， foreigners can invest in anything which the state deems useful for the country， be it， for example， production of goods for export or construction of private-housing estates.

　　在一切幾乎從零開始的經(jīng)濟(jì)特區(qū)，只要中國政府認(rèn)為對(duì)國家有益，外國人可對(duì)任何項(xiàng)目進(jìn)行投資，例如出口貨物的生產(chǎn)或私人住宅的房地產(chǎn)開發(fā)。

　　4.So， while comprehensive framework for the country“s modernization has been provided by the central committee”s 21 October 1984 decision to reform the economic structure， it will be some time before the dust settles and local authorities and foreign investors can deal with one another in a systematic way.

　　因此，雖然中央委員會(huì)1984年10月21日的改革經(jīng)濟(jì)結(jié)構(gòu)的決定為該國的現(xiàn)代化提供了一個(gè)綜合的框架，但要等塵埃落定、要等地方政府與外國投資者能有條不紊的打交道卻還需要一段時(shí)間。

　　5.Stock-taking of the open policy will come later this year when the National People‘s Congress discusses the seventh five-year plan， which will run to the end of the decade.

　　評(píng)估開放政策將在這年遲一些到來，在全國人民代表大會(huì)討論第七個(gè)五年計(jì)劃，到10年末將進(jìn)行。

When critics called the appointments a slight to Japan， the leading Pacific economic power， U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary Roger Altman explained the administration’s reasoning： by early in the next century， he said ，China may replace Japan in importance to the U.S. as an economic partner. Japan recognizes the rise of China. As a warning shot in an intensifying rivalry， Tokyo last week put punitive import tariffs on Chinese steel.

　　一個(gè)牽強(qiáng)的預(yù)測(cè)嗎?新美國行政機(jī)構(gòu)不這樣俯為，克林頓已被委任中國國務(wù)院和財(cái)政部在亞洲的要職，評(píng)論家稱這個(gè)委任冷落了日本。最大的太平經(jīng)濟(jì)力量，美國的代表-財(cái)政部長羅格?奧得曼解釋行政機(jī)構(gòu)的理由：他說：“在下個(gè)世紀(jì)初，中國可以會(huì)取代日本作為美國經(jīng)濟(jì)伙伴的重要地位?！比毡境姓J(rèn)中國的崛起，上周日本作為在日益激烈競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中的一次鳴槍警示給中國的鋼以懲罰性的進(jìn)口關(guān)稅。

　　2.With the U.S. Congress due to consider the renewal of China“s most-favored nation trade status in June， officials in Beijing fear the trade imbalance could surpass human rights as a source of U.S. opposition to preferred status for China. ”The trade surplus itself will be the NO.1 problem this year.“ Says one Chinese official. ”After Japan， we‘ll be first in line for relation.“

　　美國議會(huì)由于考慮在六月延長中國最惠國待遇，北京的官員擔(dān)心貿(mào)易不平衡可能超越人權(quán)問題而作為反對(duì)優(yōu)惠待遇的借口。中國的一位官員說：“貿(mào)易順差將會(huì)成為今年首要問題?！崩^日本之后，我們會(huì)成為第一個(gè)被報(bào)復(fù)的國家。

　　3.However， even as the party promotes growth as a national priority， it worries about going too far. Inflation has recently climbed back into double digits， and the party press is issuing strident warnings， urging restraint on buyers and sellers alike. Rapid development is overwhelming China‘s antique transport networks.

　　然而，正當(dāng)黨把促進(jìn)增長作為一個(gè)國家優(yōu)先的問題時(shí)，它又擔(dān)心增長的太快。通貨膨脹已在近期又回到了兩位數(shù)，黨政刊物發(fā)出刺耳的警告，力勸買賣方都要克制。

　　三、句子翻譯：

　　1.International conditions for growth in developing countries deteriorated in 1991. The Seven major industrial countries (the G-7) experienced a significant slowdown in GDP growth-from 2.8 percent in 1990 to 1.9 percent during 1991 as recession gripped Canada， the United Kingdom， and the United States and growth rates slowed in Continental Europe and Japan. In important respects. The slowdown was different from those that occurred during the 1970s and 1980s. Rather than reflecting the effect of disinflationary policies， weakness in demand was more closely related to the loss of momentum that had built up during the long period of expansion that began in 1983. In addition， a common factor underlying the slowdown in many industrial countries was the cyclical deceleration in investment spending.

　　1991年，在發(fā)展中國家增長惡化的國際情形下，七個(gè)主要工業(yè)國的國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值經(jīng)歷了一個(gè)急劇的下滑，從1990年的2.8%下降到1991年的1.9%，像加拿大、美國、英國陷入了蕭條，歐洲大陸和日本增長率減緩。這個(gè)減速與發(fā)生在20世紀(jì)70年代和80年代的不同。并不是反通貨膨脹政策的結(jié)果，需求的疲軟大多與發(fā)展勢(shì)頭的喪失緊密相關(guān)，這個(gè)勢(shì)頭開始于1983年，在長期擴(kuò)充中已經(jīng)形成。此外，在許多工業(yè)國減速的一個(gè)普遍的根本因素是投資開支的周期性。

　　2.Although the weakness in demand in the United States led to a sharp decline in short-term dollar interest rates―a positive development for many developing countries―it also contributed to a drop of over 6 percent in nominal commodity prices and to a slackening， to 3 percent， in the growth of world trade. These trends were compounded by worsening economic conditions in the soviet Union and its successor states， where a growing shortage of foreign exchange led to a compression of import from Eastern Europe and an acceleration of certain commodity exports to earn hard currencies.

　　盡管美國疲軟的需求導(dǎo)致了短期美元利率急劇地下跌，但對(duì)于發(fā)展中國家的發(fā)展是積極的，它也導(dǎo)致了名義產(chǎn)品價(jià)格約6%的下跌，世界貿(mào)易增長下跌了3%.蘇聯(lián)和它的后繼國經(jīng)濟(jì)情形的惡化加劇了這一趨勢(shì)，外匯短缺的增長導(dǎo)致了從東歐進(jìn)口的壓縮，加速了某些產(chǎn)品的出口，獲得了硬通貨。

　　3.Financial stress brought on by excessive debt in the household and corporate sectors was an example of another kind of structural problem， in particular for the economies of Japan and the United States. Financial institutions in these two countries adopted more conservative lending policies， curtailing financing of higher-risk projects such as commercial construction and highly leveraged corporate transaction. A number of weaker institutions were also consolicated through bankruptcy， merger and reorganization.

　　過多債務(wù)的財(cái)政壓力招致了家族和公司部門是另外一種結(jié)構(gòu)問題的例子，尤其是日本和美國的經(jīng)濟(jì)。這兩個(gè)國家在財(cái)政制度上采取了比較保守的借貸政策，削減了對(duì)商業(yè)建筑這類高風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的財(cái)政項(xiàng)目和對(duì)公司依靠大量借貸進(jìn)行交易的融資。大多數(shù)疲軟的機(jī)構(gòu)也通過破產(chǎn)，合并和重組來聯(lián)合。

　　4.The major risk facing this highly trade-oriented region is the potential for sluggishness or disruption in world-trade flows. Economic weakness in some of the region‘s traditional export markets has underlined the importance of market diversification， including a further strengthening of ties within the region. Increasingly buoyant intraregional trade in East Asia may be viewed as evidence of an ongoing process of “market-oriented” regional integration， a development that could partially offset lackluster progress in the area of multilateral trade agreements.

　　這個(gè)高度以貿(mào)易為導(dǎo)向的地區(qū)面對(duì)的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)主要是潛在的世界貿(mào)易流中的蕭條或混亂。一些地區(qū)傳統(tǒng)出口市場(chǎng)的經(jīng)濟(jì)萎靡已強(qiáng)調(diào)了市場(chǎng)多樣化的重要性。包括進(jìn)一步加強(qiáng)地區(qū)內(nèi)的聯(lián)系。

　　日益活躍的東亞內(nèi)貿(mào)易可被視為一個(gè)“市場(chǎng)導(dǎo)向”地區(qū)一體化的見證，這一點(diǎn)可彌補(bǔ)多邊貿(mào)易協(xié)定領(lǐng)域毫無生氣的進(jìn)展局面。

　　1.WASHINGTON-The Clinton administration is drawing the first lines of a tougher U.S. policy on trade， signaling to Europe and Japan that it will demand fairer treatment for American exports and is prepared to see relationships with U.S. trading partners get worse before they get better.

　　華盛頓消息：克林頓政府正采取更加強(qiáng)硬的美國貿(mào)易政策，向歐洲和日本發(fā)出信號(hào)要求對(duì)美國的出口品提供一個(gè)更為公正的待遇，并已做好準(zhǔn)備迎接將在與貿(mào)易伙伴關(guān)系改善之前出現(xiàn)的關(guān)系惡化。

　　2.The strongest signal came last week， when Mickey Kanter， the U.S. trade representative， moved quickly to cite the 12-nation European Community for “intolerable” discrimination against U.S. companies seeking government contracts within the community. The administration will begin retaliating in six weeks if EC policies remain unchanged.

　　最強(qiáng)的信號(hào)來自于上周，美國貿(mào)易代表米奇?凱特引用歐共體的話指出，12國歐共體謀求共同體內(nèi)部的政府間合同是對(duì)美國公司的“令人無法忍受的”歧視。凱特先生說，如果歐共體一意孤行，美國政府將于六周后開始報(bào)復(fù)。

　　3.Administration officials see little risk that this more aggressive policy could escalate into a full-fledged trade war that would shock the world“s fragile economies. Thus， the administration will not be deterred by complaints that it has moved to ”protectionism.“

　　對(duì)于這種更加大膽的政策會(huì)升級(jí)為震動(dòng)世界脆弱經(jīng)濟(jì)的全面貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)，政府官員認(rèn)為這種危險(xiǎn)的可能性很小，因此雖有人抱怨美國已趨向“貿(mào)易保護(hù)主義”，政府不會(huì)受其阻礙。

　　4.In some ways， Mr. Clinton and his advisers are following the same well-trod path as the Bush administration， which threatened sanctions against the Community last year and walked away from GATT negotiations rather than sign an agreement that would provide only small gains for U.S. companies.

　　從某種程度上，克林頓先生和他的顧問們正在走一條人們熟悉的與布什政府相同的路。布什政府去年曾威脅對(duì)歐共體實(shí)行制裁，并退出了關(guān)貿(mào)總協(xié)定的談判，沒有答署只會(huì)給美國公司帶來小量收益的協(xié)定。

　　1.Yet in its current dour mood， Europe risks almost overlooking the revolutionary step forward it has taken in creating the world“s largest and wealthiest barrier-free market ― and on a continent where， for centuries， economic battles have led to some of history”s bloodiest wars. But perhaps the major reason is the dark economic clouds now hanging over Europe. One of the central justifications for the single market was its ability to create greater prosperity， but it is making its debut just as Europe traverses one of its roughest economic storms in years.

　　然而在目前抑郁的情緒中，歐洲幾乎冒險(xiǎn)忽視了那種前進(jìn)的革命性步伐，它曾以那種步伐創(chuàng)立了世界上最大的、最富有的自由市場(chǎng)――在一個(gè)大洲，那里幾個(gè)世紀(jì)以來經(jīng)濟(jì)上的爭(zhēng)斗已經(jīng)導(dǎo)致了一些歷史上最血腥的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)。另外，一些觀察家說，如果無法通過推進(jìn)歐洲一體化來加強(qiáng)大市場(chǎng)，那將導(dǎo)致破壞內(nèi)部市場(chǎng)計(jì)劃已經(jīng)取得的成就。
