On behalf of the State Council, I now submit a report on the work of the government during the past five years to the First Session of the Tenth National People's Congress and put forward a number of suggestions on this year's work for your examination and approval and also for comments from members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. 一、过去五年政府工作的回顾I. Review of the Work of the Government in the Past Five Years 第九届全国人民代表大会第一次会议以来的五年,是很不平凡的五年。本届政府初期,亚洲金融危机冲击,世界经济增长放慢;国内产业结构矛盾十分突出,国有企业职工大量下岗;1998、1999年连续遭受特大洪涝灾害。全国各族人民在中国共产党领导下,团结奋进,顽强拼搏,战胜种种困难,改革开放和经济社会发展取得举世公认的伟大成就。我们胜利实现了现代化建设第二步战略目标,开始向第三步战略目标迈进。 The five years since the First Session of the Ninth National People's Congress have been an extraordinary period. Soon after this government took office, the Asian financial crisis struck, and world economic growth stagnated. Domestically, irrationalities in the industrial structure became critical, and large numbers of workers were laid off from state-owned enterprises. Catastrophic floods struck in 1998 and 1999. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, our people of all ethnic groups have forged ahead, worked still harder in solidarity, surmounted numerous difficulties, and made great achievements in reform, opening up and economic and social development that have won worldwide recognition. We have attained the strategic goals for the second stage of our modernization drive and begun our march towards the third stage goals. 五年来,国民经济保持良好发展势头,经济结构战略性调整迈出重要步伐。 During the past five years, the national economy maintained good growth momentum, and important advances were made in the strategic restructuring of the economy. --经济持续较快增长。国内生产总值从1997年的7.4万亿元增加到2002年的10.2万亿元,按可比价格计算,平均每年增长7.7%。产业结构调整成效明显。粮食等主要农产品供给实现了由长期短缺到总量平衡、丰年有余的历

Review of Work in 2011过去的一年,面对复杂多变的国际政治经济环境和艰巨繁重的国内改革发展任务,全国各族人民在中国共产党领导下,同心同德,团结奋进,改革开放和社会主义现代化建设取得新的重大成就。Last year, China faced a complex and volatile political and economic environment abroad and arduous and challenging reform and development tasks at home.

汉英翻译技巧的培养(translation competence development)应涉及以下内容:
一.要培养对英语的语感和悟性(language intuition – open and alert mind to pick up idioms, specific expressions, etc.);
二.要培养对英语的判断能力和鉴赏能力(evaluation capacity – judgment);

七.要培养对英语和汉语之间的辩证关系的认识(awareness of the dialectic relationship between Chinese and English);
八.要培养对英语“洋为中用”的意识(“use things foreign to serve Chinese purposes”);
九.要培养对英语“学以致用”的意识(apply what you have learned in your translation);
十.要培养对翻译的多层次、多角度的立体思维方式(a multi-tier approach )。
十一.一名称职的翻译工作者必须懂得什么是翻译的真谛(a clear conception of what translation is)。
十二.一名优秀的翻译人员必须具有高屋建瓴的视角(great powers of conception)。
各种能力和意识的培养都需要加强翻译意识的锻炼:
第一:要对翻译的重要性有深刻的、充分的认识,翻译的对与错、好与坏有时会产生绝
然不同的效果。例如,天涯海角:不是the End of the World (应为Land’s End / End of the Earth) 。再如,一小时内免费送机票上门:不是We give you tickets free of charge within one hour.(应为We offer free delivery of your air tickets within one hour after your booking confirmation.)
第二:要善于仔细地、深入地、准确地理解中文原文的意思。这是因为准确的理解是做好翻译的前提。例如,摸着石头过河:不是crossing the river by feeling the stones。(而是wade across the stream by feeling the way )正确的做法应该是按照下面的步骤去做:
1.“摸着石头过河”的字面意思如何理解?
2.它有什么暗含或延伸的意思?
3.英语里有没有相同或类似的说法?.如果有,就可以直接借用;如果没有,是进行直译还是意译?
4.如果直译为crossing the river by feeling the stones是否能被外国人理解?
5.过河是乘船过(crossing by boat)还是淌水过(wading across),动词用什么形式?
6.这里的河是大河、中河还是小河(river, stream, brook, etc.)?
7.摸的方式是用手摸还是用脚触?
8.石头是大石头还是小石头(rock, stone, pebble, etc.)?
9.如果意译为learning by experiment / by trial and error是否可取?
10.直译和意译相结合wading across the stream by feeling the way如何?
第三:中文和英文的对应词有时意思并不相同或者不完全相同,不能照字面翻译。例如,他的英语说得真好,就像外国人一样。不是He speaks English so well, he sounds like a foreigner.而是He speaks English so well, he sounds like a native speaker.
拉动经济增长:不是pull economic growth,而是push/lift/increase/boost/stimulate/spur/drive/fuel/speed up/accelerate/generate/ fire up/ propel/
facilitate/reinforce/aid/assist/support/promote/encourage/foster/(sustain/maintain)。素质教育:不是quality education,而是caliber-focused education 或trait-centered education。
第四:有时候中文字面的意思表达不充分,部分信息被省略了或被隐藏起来了。例如,特区是个窗口,是技术的窗口,管理的窗口,知识的窗口,也是对外政策的窗口。不是:
The special zone is a window. It is a widow for introducing technology, management and knowledge. It is also a window for foreign policy.
而是The special economic zones are a window opening onto the outside world. They are a window through which to bring in from abroad sophisticated technology, advanced managerial expertise and up-to-date know-how. It is also a window through which to disseminate China’s external policies.
再如,退耕还林:不是return farmland to forest,而应该是restore “woodland-converted farm-plots” back for afforesting 。春运:不是spring transportation,而是the rush / peak season of passenger transportation during the Spring Festival。
第五:有些中文词语没有什么特殊涵义,而与之相对应的英文词语却有着特殊的涵义。
例如,与“便宜”、“价廉”相对应的“cheap,”它有时候会带有贬义,成为“质次价低”的意,如cheap jewelries, cheap dresses, cheap furniture 等。我们可以说I bought a cheap watch for my child,对小孩无所谓;但不能说I bought a cheap dress for my girlfriend. 因为这样说会冒犯对方。在后一种情况下必须用inexpensive一词。
第六:避免用中式英语进行表达,而要尽量用地道的英语进行表达。假如我们要把“我过去学过一些法语,但现在都忘了,都还给老师了”这句话翻译成英语,最好不要说I learned some French in the past. Now I have forgotten it. I’ve returned it to the teacher. 比较好的说法是I used to know some French, but I’ve forgotten it. It has found its way back to my teacher.
