两会常用语 双语对照

两会常用语 双语对照

“两会”英语词汇大集萃每年初春是两会召开之际,有人把“两会”译为 the two meetings, 在中国人看来这样译没有问题;但在对外报道和宣传中最好说清楚。

“两会”指全国人民代表大会(the National People's Congress) 和中国人民政治协商会议(the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference)。

两会是每年召开的会议,可在前面加上annual session of。

表示“会”的英文词汇很多。

congress 一词常表示专门性代表大会,比较正式而隆重,出席会议的代表一般是选举产生的,会上通过的决议往往具有约束力,“中国共产党的全国代表大会”就是 national congress of the Chinese Communist Party, 美国的国会也称congress。

Conference多指协商讨论性的会议,出席的代表通常是邀请,协商产生或有关单位委派的,会议的决议往往不具有约束力。

Meeting是其中最普通的词,词义比较笼统。

meeting 可以泛指各种有目的的集会,如 mass meeting(群众大会),farewell meeting(欢送会),class meeting(学生开的班会),由各国元首或政府首脑出席的“峰会”是summit meeting,现在meeting一词常省略。

“座谈会”等学术性会议常用forum 和symposium。

汉语中有些“会”已不属于meeting的范畴,比如“展览会”是exhibition 或show;春节期间的“庙会”可译为festival temple fair,元宵节的“灯会”应该是lantern show。

最近大家谈论最多的莫过于即将召开的“两会”,下面小编和大家分享一些与“两会”相关的词汇:National People's Congress 全国人民代表大会Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference 中国人民政治协商会议11th Five-year Development Program

要居安思危,有备无患。

”One prospers in worries and hardship, and perishes in ease and comfort. We will have to be mindful of possible adversities and be prepared for the worst.“苟利国家生死以,岂因祸福避趋之。

”I will do whatever it takes to serve my country even at the cost of my own life, regardless of fortune or misfortune to myself.“生财有道,生之者众,食之者寡,为之者疾,用之者抒。

”There are many people who produce, there are very few people who consume, and people work very hard to produce more financial wealth and people practice economy when they spend. In this way, wealth is accumulated.2004年温家宝总理答中外记者问“雄关漫道真如铁,而今迈步从头越;路漫漫其修远兮,吾将上下而求索。

”The strong pass of the enemy is like a wall of iron, yet with firm strides, we are conquering its summit. My way ahead is long; I see no ending; yet high and low I’ll search with my will unbending.“安不忘危,治不忘乱。

2011年温家宝总理答记者问英文版(来源-外交部网站)

2011年温家宝总理答记者问英文版(来源-外交部网站)

Premier Wen Jiabao Meets the PressOn the morning of 14 March, the Fourth Session of the Eleventh National People’s Congress held a press conference in the Great Hall of the People. At the invitation of Mr. Li Zhaoxing, spokesman of the NPC Session, Premier Wen Jiabao of the State Council met Chinese and foreign journalists and answered their questions.Premier Wen Jiabao: Friends of the press, good morning. The just concluded session of the National People’s Congress adopted the government work report a nd the outline of the 12th Five-Year Plan. We face extremely daunting tasks and complex domestic and international situations. We must work very hard if we are to achieve success in our work on all fronts and meet the goals we set. We must be fully mindful of potential dangers and keep a cool head. At the same time, we should have firm confidence. Confidence is like the sun. It brings us brightness and hope. There are two years left in my term of office. I know full well that my work in the next two years w ill not be easier than any of the previous years. “I do my job as diligently as a farmer tends to his field. I have it on my mind day and night. I work for a thorough planning at the start. And I’m determined to carry it through to a successful end.”Peo ple’s Daily: We have noted that the 12th Five-Year Plan has set an annual GDP growth target of 7% for the next five years. That target is 0.5 percentage point lower than the one set out in the 11th Five-Year Plan. Mr. Premier, what is the consideration of the government in taking the initiative to adjust downward the GDP growth target? Will a slower economy affect the government’s efforts to expand employment and improve people’s well-being?Premier Wen Jiabao: We have set a lower GDP growth target for the next five years. I believe this shows the resolve and will of the government. It is also a major step the government is determined to take. This means that in the next five years and even for a much longer time to come, we will take the transformation of China’s economic development pattern as our priority task to refocus China’s economic development on scientific and technological advances and higher educational level of the labor force and raise the quality and efficiency of China’s economic development. The speed of economic growth, employment and inflation are closely interconnected. A higher growth speed will bring more jobs but at the same time increase inflationary pressure. A lower growth speed means fewer jobs yet relatively lower inflationary pressure. But an economic recession may easily occur. We must strike a proper balance between these two and take an integrated approach to ensure a bright future for China’s economic development. We must seize this opportunity and make adjustments to China’s economic structure to resolve the long-standing problem in China’s economic development, i.e. lack of adequate balance, coordination and sustainability. And we must balance economic development with population, the environment and resources. I also want to point out that a 7% growth target is not a low target. You have noted that China’s economic aggregates have been expanding. That means we have an increasingly large base figure. Therefore it will not be easy for us to achieve 7% GDP growth with quality and efficiency.With respect to jobs, I would like to say that we must pay close attention to economic restructuring. In this course, we should give priority to the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, in particular, high-tech enterprises, and the development of the service sector, including producer services. All these will help us create more jobs. The government will make every effort to cope with rising employment pressure in a slower economy. This is a great test to the government. But we have the determination to succeed.Le Point of France: Mr. Prime Minister, North Africa has been experiencing tremendous changes since the beginning of the year. The world is now observing China, which is pursuing its course. Can we say that China has created its own model in terms of politics, economy and culture? How is this model going to adapt to the new environment? Can other countries be inspired by this model?Premier Wen Jiabao: We have followed closely the political turbulence in some west Asian and north African countries. At the same time, we take the view that it is not right to draw an analogy between China and those relevant countries. With over 30 years of reform and opening-up, China has achieved rapid economic and social development. The lives of the Chinese people have beenmarkedly improved. These achievements have been widely recognized. I believe the Chinese people have also seen that the government has taken serious steps to address the problems in economic and social development. It is true that recent years have witnessed major changes in China’s economy. The Chinese economy has become the second largest in the world. But we are fully aware that China remains a developing country with a large population, weak economic foundation an d uneven development. We have embarked on a development path that fits China’s national conditions. The main features of this development path are as follows: First, we must focus on economic construction and vigorously promote economic development and social progress. Second, we must continue to put people’s interests first and strive for comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development. Third, we must continue to promote social fairness and justice and maintain social stability and harmony. And fourth, we must protect the democratic rights of the people, promote their all-round development and give further play to the initiative and creativity of the people.China is still taking exploratory steps with respect to its reform and development. We never consider our own development path as any particular model. We believe that all countries need to pursue their own development paths which are suited to their national conditions and we respect the choices made by the people of other countries. At the same time, we believe that countries can learn from each other in terms of development paths on the basis of mutual respect.Hong Kong Cable TV: A separate chapter has been devoted to Hong Kong and Macao’s development in the 12th Five-Year Plan. The central government has indicated in the plan that it will continue to support Hong Kong’s role as an international financial center. And further details have been spelled out for a number of large infrastructure development projects between Guangdong and Hong Kong. What is the consideration of the central government in laying out all these arrangements? Some people argue that Hong Kong is losing its traditional advantage and is no longer able to cope with regional competition on its own. And that is why the central government felt compelled to draw up the plan for Hong Kong. What is your view on this? Will these measures taken by the central government be enough to help Hong Kong resolve some of its underlying problems, for example the widening income gap?Premier Wen Jiabao: Your question reminds me of my visit to Hong Kong in 2003. It was during that visit that I witnessed the signing of the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA) between Hong Kong and the mainland. I would like to tell you that I want very much to visit Hong Kong again to see the people in Hong Kong and bring them my greetings. There is a separate chapter devoted to Hong Kong and Macao in the 12th Five-Year Plan. This shows the firm support of the central government for long-term prosperity and stability in Hong Kong and Macao. It meets the aspiration of the governments of the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions and the people of all sectors there. It is also in the interest of the long-term development of Hong Kong and Macao.You said in your question that Hong Kong has lost its traditional advantage. I take a different view. Hong Kong, with the strong backing of the motherland and facing the world, has an open and free economy. It has a full-fledged legal system that is consistent with international business practices. It has a large pool of managerial personnel in various fields. And it has withstood the test of two financial crises. Hong Kong’s traditional advantage as an international financial center has not changed. It is set out in the 12th Five-Year Plan that the central government will support Hong Kong in developing itself into an offshore RMB business center and an international asset management center. In fact, many of the pilot programs we have taken in the reform of the financial sector in recent years were first conducted in Hong Kong. For example, RMB deposits in Hong Kong have exceeded 300 billion yuan. We have also run the pilot program of settling cross-border trade in goods in RMB first in Hong Kong. Moreover, cooperation between Hong Kong and the mainland, in particular, the Pearl River Delta has been enhanced. Fast progress has been made in a series of infrastructure projects linking Hong Kong and the mainland. All these have facilitated the free flow of goods and personnel between the two sides. I believe these measures will further consolidate and develop Hong Kong’s status as an international financial center.I believe Hong Kong has the ability to cope with not only regional but also internationalcompetition and risks. At the same time, Hong Kong is confronted by a complex external environment. Therefore it is important for Hong Kong to be mindful of potential difficulties, make the most of good opportunities and meet the challenges head-on. I have said that Hong Kong needs to pay close attention to the following three things. First, Hong Kong needs to have a long-term and scientific development plan. Second, it needs to attach great importance to addressing the underlying problems in its economic and social development. And third, it should work hard to improve people’s well-being. I believe it is also important for Hong Kong to pay close attention to the development of education and science and technology so as to sustain the momentum of development. Meanwhile, Hong Kong needs to further develop the service sector, including financial services and tourism in the light of its actual conditions and develop small innovative high-tech enterprises to create more jobs. Hong Kong has sufficient government revenues and ample foreign exchange reserves. It should further improve the social safety net, and in particular, take good care of the vulnerable groups so that people in Hong Kong will lead a much better life.Let me take a few minutes to address something that you did not mention in your question. That is, during the formulation of the 12th Five-Year Plan, there was such an opinion in Hong Kong that the plan was imposed on Hong Kong. Here I would like to emphasize once again that we will adhere to the pr inciple of “one country, two systems”, “Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong” and a high degree of autonomy. We will act in strict accordance with the Basic Law. What the central government has laid out in the Five-Year Plan about Hong Kong is designed to support Hong Kong’s development. And this arrangement will in no way replace Hong Kong’s own plan.Wall Street Journal: Inflation has become an acutely felt problem in China’s society. The rising consumer and housing prices have had a direct impact on the daily lives of the ordinary Chinese people. I would like to ask how do you evaluate the measures that the government has adopted in response. What new measures will the government take in the future? Will the government consider letting the RMB appreciate faster to fight inflation?Premier Wen Jiabao: Inflation is like a tiger. Once set free, it will be very difficult to bring it back into its cage. I believe that the current inflation is actually a global issue. Let’s take a look at the international environment in this respect. Some countries have pursued a quantitative easing monetary policy. This has caused drastic fluctuations in the exchange rates of some currencies and commodity prices. It has affected not just one place or region. Inflation exceeded 2% even in European countries. In the past few months, the global grain prices rose by 15%. And the situation in some north African and west Asian countries has driven up global oil prices, which hit 100 US dollars per barrel. Imported inflation has had a big impact on China, and it is a factor that we can hardly control. At the same time, we have witnessed structural inflation in China due to rising labor cost and prices of primary goods. We must pay close attention to this problem and take measures to address it. I often say that inflation, including rising consumer and housing prices, affects the lives and immediate interests of the people. That is why the government has given top priority to curbing inflation in its work this year.I have explained in detail our measures to manage inflation expectations and control inflation in my government work report, so I will not repeat them here. I just want to emphasize that the government has the confidence to manage inflation expectations. In November l ast year, China’s consumer price index rose by 5.1%. With hard efforts, we brought it down to 4.6% the following month. We still face a difficult situation in the first half of this year. I believe that you are aware of the carry-over effects on the CPI. In January this year, the CPI rose 4.9% and stayed at the same level in February. But the carry-over effect in February was as high as 3.7 percentage points. We must not take this issue lightly. We have taken the following measures to manage inflation expectations. First, develop production, in particular agricultural production to ensure sufficient supply. Second, improve the distribution system, in particular the weak links in the distribution of agricultural products. And third, mainly use economic and legal instruments to maintain good market order. We will make persistent efforts to manage the inflation expectations. Our measures to bring down the rising housing prices are three-fold. First, we must control monetary liquidity. This is actually important for controlling both the housing prices and consumer prices, because it helps eliminate the monetary conditions for surging consumer and housing prices. Second, we will make use of fiscal, taxation and financial instruments to adjust market demand. And third, wewill intensify the responsibility of local governments. Local governments must assume their due responsibilities for controlling consumer and housing prices. Governors of provinces will take responsibility for the grain supply and city mayors will be responsible for the supply of non-grain food. Local governments will assume responsibility for bringing down surging housing prices. You are interested in the issue of RMB exchange rate. Let me tell you that we will continue to pursue the reform of RMB exchange rate regime. We have taken three major steps in pushing forward this reform since 1994. Since 1994, the real effective exchange rate of the Chinese yuan has appreciated by 57.9% against the dollar. The main aspect of our reform is to de-peg the Chinese yuan from the US dollar. We pursue a managed, floating exchange rate regime on the basis of market supply and demand and with reference to a basket of currencies. We will continue to make the RMB exchange rate more flexible in the light of the changes in market supply and demand. The reform of the RMB exchange rate regime should be a gradual process, because it affects our businesses and employment situation. We must ensure overall social stability in this process.China National Radio: Just now my foreign colleague raised the issue of rising housing prices, and you mentioned the three policy measures that the government has taken to control housing prices. We have seen that since last year, the State Council has introduced a succession of measures to bring down housing prices, and some view these measures as the harshest ever. You reiterated in the government work report that the government will resolutely regulate the real estate market. Will these measures be fully implemented, or will the government give up halfway in their implementation?Premier Wen Jiabao: On controlling rising housing prices, what’s essential now is to ensure the full implementation of relevant policies and measures. The central government will step up its inspection of the work of local governments. We must implement an accountability system in real earnest. At the same time, we will follow closely and analyze new developments in the real estate market, and study targeted macro-control measures in this field. The local governments must conscientiously perform their relevant responsibilities. For example, they must release policies on regulating the property market and targets for controlling housing prices. Actually, in regulating the real estate market, we have adopted another very important measure. That is, we will further increase the supply of government-subsidized housing units. This means that we will try to address problems in the housing market by increasing supply. With respect to the government-subsidized housing, the people are generally supportive of our policies, though they have also voiced quite some concerns. I would like to say that we have set the target of building 10 million such housing units this year and another 10 million next year. In total, we plan to build 36 million government-subsidized housing units in the next five years. In addition to renovated houses in run-down areas, they mainly comprise public rental housing and low-rent housing. It is essential that we ensure sufficient funding for the construction of those houses. As far as the funding is concerned, the central government will transfer a total of 103 billion RMB yuan in subsidies to local governments this year. Local governments will also increase their fiscal input. We also need to make greater use of non-government capital. It is important that we designate specific sites for the construction of government-subsidized housing and ensure that such designated sites will be used only for this purpose. We need to ensure that the design and construction of those houses will meet high quality standards and will be safe, environment-friendly and energy-efficient. I believe this presents a great opportunity for property development in China. And we must not miss this opportunity. I want to emphasize that we must start now to formulate the management and return mechanisms of the low-income housing and put in place a complete system governing the construction, management and return of these houses to ensure the quality and efficiency and proper management.Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation of the ROK: We have paid close attention to the part in China’s 12th Five-Year Plan about promoting cultural development and prosperity. China is one of the birthplaces of human civilization, and has a time-honored history and cultural tradition. My question is what will China do to give full play to its cultural advantage and boost the country’s soft power. What will be the specific policies taken in this field?Premier Wen Jiabao: I believe the strength of a country lies in not only its economy but also the educational level of its people, cultural development, and moral and ethical standards. China hasa 5,000-year cultural heritage. The Chinese civilization has continued uninterrupted despite the many trials and tribulations. Culture is the soul of a nation. And cultural tradition is a strong source of inspiration and cohesiveness. We must bring into full play the strength of China’s cultural heritage and at the same time learn from and draw upon the fine achievements of other civilizations. Only in this way will the Chinese culture enjoy greater development. As I have often said, only an open and inclusive country can be strong.We will further reform and develop our cultural programs on a priority basis during the 12th Five-Year Plan period and for an even longer time to come. We will pursue institutional reform, develop well-trained professionals and further promote the people-oriented cultural programs to boost cultural development and prosperity. We will integrate our cultural heritage with the spirit of the times and combine our efforts to carry forward the Chinese cultural heritage with efforts to draw upon the culture of other countries so that the Chinese culture will continue to brim with vigor and vitality.TVBS of Taiwan: The 12th Five-Year Plan has been adopted. The first meeting of the cross-Straits Economic Cooperation Committee was convened in Taiwan not long ago. How will the 12th Five-Year Plan and the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) boost the business ties across the Straits? There is concern among some people in Taiwan that with the transformation of the economic development pattern on the mainland, some Taiwan-invested businesses on the mainland may face great difficulties and be marginalized. What is your view? Premier Wen Jiabao: First, I would like to ask you to convey my greetings to the compatriots in Taiwan. The Early Harvest in the ECFA between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits entered into force from 1 January this year. In February, the relevant parties of the two sides conducted a review on the implementation of the Early Harvest. They shared the view that the Early Harvest has got off to a good start, made smooth progress and produced initial results. Cross-Straits trade increased by 30% in January. You may know that last year our trade exceeded 140 billion US dollars, with Taiwan running a surplus of 86 billion US dollars.In your question, you expressed the worry that Taiwan-invested businesses on the mainland may be marginalized as the mainland economy transforms its development pattern. I wish to tell you that the mainland has become an important destination for Taiwan investment. There are now over 80,000 Taiwan-invested businesses on the mainland, and the total paid-in investment from Taiwan has topped 50 billion US dollars. If we include the trans-investment made through a third place such as the Virgin Islands, the total investment from Taiwan will exceed 90 billion US dollars, accounting for 9% of the overseas investment on the mainland. There is no need to have the worry that you just expressed. The pursuit of scientific development and transformation of the development pattern will only create a more favorable investment environment and offer more business opportunities for Taiwan businesses. The Taiwan-invested businesses on the mainland will continue to enjoy national treatment. I don’t think they will be marginalized. Rather, I believe they will enjoy brighter prospects for development. I want to add that we may encounter some issues in the implementation of ECFA. We will continue to pursue the follow-up negotiations in a step-by-step way. I believe the people in Taiwan will see the sincerity of the mainland and its care for the interests of the business community and people in Taiwan. We are compatriots. “Nothing can sever the blood ties of brothers.”CNN: Premier Wen, you have served as Premier for eight years now and maybe you will step down in 2013. What kind of legacy do you wish to leave behind? You have on many occasions advocated political reform. Given the challenges and problems that China faces now, what reform do you advocate so that you the government can better address the problems, concerns and grievances of the Chinese people? Do you, for example, support the idea of direct elections, competitive elections on various levels of the government?Premier Wen Jiabao: Your first question comes a bit prematurely. There are still two years left in my term of office, and I have a heavy agenda. I should continue to do my job diligently on this position as devoted as a soldier. I always have the interests of the country in my mind and pursue no personal gains. I will continue to perform my duties conscientiously.I believe reform is an eternal theme of history. Political restructuring and economic restructuringshould be advanced in a coordinated way. This is because, first, nothing in the world stays immutable. “Only reform ensures continuous existence and growth.” It is only with constant reform that our Party and country can enjoy full vigor and vitality. Second, political restructuring serves as a guarantee for economic restructuring. Without political restructuring, economic restructuring will not succeed, and the achievements we have made may be lost. Third, I believe that at present corruption poses the biggest danger. To eliminate the breeding ground of corruption, we must pursue institutional reform. “The hearts of the people are the life of the country.” To address people’s grievances and meet their wishes, we must create conditions for the people to criticize and supervise the government. Fourth, fairness and justice are the defining features of socialism. They constitute the foundation of social stability. We must promote fairness in income distribution and gradually narrow the widening income gap. We also need to promote fairness in the distribution of educational, medical and health care resources so that all the people can share the fruits of reform and development. If we are to achieve all the above-mentioned goals, we must pursue economic and political restructuring. Fifth, we must give each and every one access to education and give full play to people’s independent thinking and creativity. Only when the people feel fully motivated can we put our reform and development endeavors on a solid footing. In this sense, this captures the essence of democracy. People’s deputies are now directly elected at the county level and in cities without sub-districts. Self-administration is practiced in villages. Indirect elections take place at the city level and above. We have multi-candidate elections for members of the CPC Central Committee. We must pursue a step-by-step approach in this process. We should have the confidence that if people can manage well the affairs in a village, they will be able to manage the affairs in a township, and a county. That will be a gradual process. It is by no means easy to promote political restructuring in such a big country with 1.3 billion people. It requires a stable and harmonious social environment and it needs to be taken forward in an orderly way under the leadership of the Party. CCTV: We pay particular attention to the development of private enterprises in China. The State Council has released two sets of 36 guidelines for encouraging and supporting the development of non-governmental investment, raising a lot of hope on the part of private enterprises in China. However, it is also the view of some private enterprises that they have heard loud thunders but seen few raindrops in terms of government support for the non-public sector, or in other words, much has been said, but little has been done. And those businesses still face visible or invisible obstacles in their operation and the problem of the “glass door” h as not been well addressed. There is also a view that in China the state-owned enterprises are forging ahead but private ones are falling behind. What is your view, Mr. Premier?Premier Wen Jiabao: Our policy is that we will unswervingly consolidate and develop the public sector of the economy and at the same time, unswervingly support, encourage and guide the development of the non-public sector of the economy. In 2005, the State Council formulated the 36 guidelines on supporting, encouraging and guiding the development of non-public sector. Last year, we introduced the new 36 guidelines on encouraging and guiding the non-governmental investment. I should say that the thunder is indeed loud. We have stated in clear-cut terms that we will treat all enterprises of different ownerships in the same way in terms of laws and policies, including fiscal, taxation, financial and market access policies. We encourage these different economic entities to compete with each other and achieve common development. So why do some private enterprises still feel that they have seen few raindrops and that there still exist such problems as the “glass door” and “swing door”? I think this is mainly because the policies and measures have not been fully implemented. The new 36 guidelines is seen as a supplementary document to the first set of 36 guidelines, because a lot of detailed arrangements have been spelled out in the new 36 guidelines in terms of policy and market access. We are formulating the detailed rules for the implementation of the new 36 guidelines. I believe that these two documents will help boost the development of the non-public sector.I don’t think we have such problem that state-owned enterprises are forging ahead while the private enterprises are falling behind, nor do we have the opposite problem in China. In the past 30 years and more of reform and opening-up, big development has been achieved in both the public sector and the non-public sector of the economy. I don’t want to spend too much time talking about the public sector at the press conference today. With respect to the non-public sector that you mentioned, I would like to point out that now non-public investment accounts for over 50% of the total fixed asset investment and private enterprises in the industrial field have。

大会新闻发言人、本次记者会主持人李肇星:女士们、先生们,上午好。

我们高兴地邀请到温家宝总理与中外记者见面,并回答大家的提问。

现在请总理讲话。

Ladies and Gentlemen, good morning! Today we have the great pleasure to invite Premier Wen Jiabao to meet Chinese and foreign press and answer your questions. First, some opening remarks from Mr. Premier.中国国务院总理温家宝:各位记者朋友,大家好。

刚刚结束的全国人民代表大会通过了政府工作报告和“十二五”规划纲要。

摆在我们面前的任务十分艰巨,国内外形势也非常复杂,做好各项工作,完成预期目标,需要付出极大努力。

我们要有忧患意识,始终保持清醒的头脑。

同时,又要树立信心,信心就像太阳一样,充满光明和希望。

我的任期还有两年,我深知这两年的工作不比任何一年要轻松。

“政如农工,日夜思之,思其始而成其终。

”谢谢。

现在可以提问了。

Friends of the press, good morning! The just concluded session of the National People’s Congress adopted the Government Work Report and the Outline of the 12th Five-year Plan. We face extremely daunting tasks and complex domestic and international situations. We must work very hard if we are to achieve successes in our work on all fronts and meet the goals we have set. We must be fully mindful of potential dangers and keep a cool head. At the same time, we should have firm confidence. Confidence is like the sun. It brings us and bright and hope. There are two years left in my term of office, I know full well that my work in the next two years will not be easier than any of the previous years. I do my job as diligently as a farmer tends to his field. I have it on my min d day and night. I work for a thorough planning from the start and I’m determined to carry it through to a successful end. Thank you!人民日报、人民网记者:总理,您好!我是人民日报、人民网记者。

“十二五”规划确定未来五年我国经济增长的预期目标,就是年均增长7%。

我们注意到,这个数字和“十一五”规划相比降低了0.5个百分点。

请问总理,我们主动调低经济增长速度这样一个选择是出于什么考虑?如果未来经济增长速度有所放缓会不会影响扩大就业以及改善民生等方面?谢谢。

I’m with People’s daily and . We have noted that the 12th Five-year Plan has set an annual GDP growth target of 7% in the next five years. That target is 0.5 percentage point lower than the GDP growth target set up in the 11th Five-year Plan. Premier, my question is: what is the consideration of the government in taking the initiative to adjust the downward of the GDP growth target. Will a slower economy affect the government’s efforts to expand employment and improve people’s well-being?温家宝:主动调低经济发展的速度,不仅表明决心和意志,而且是一个重大的举措。

就是说,在今后五年以至中国经济发展的相当长时期,我们要把转变经济增长方式作为主线。

真正使中国的经济转到主要依靠科技进步和提高劳动者素质上来,着重提高经济的增长质量和效益。

We have set a lower GDP growth target for the next five years. I believe this shows the resolve and will of the Chinese government. It is also a major step that the government is determined to take. This means that in the next five years and even for a much longer period of time to come, in the course of China’s economic development, we will take the transformation of China’s econo mic development pattern as our priority task so that we will be able to refocus China’s economic development to scientific and technological advances and to higher educational level of the labor force. And we will be able to in that way raise the quality a nd efficiency of China’s economic development.经济发展速度、就业与通货膨胀三者之间有密切联系。

经济发展速度高,就业人数就会多,但通胀的压力也会大。

经济发展速度低,就业人数少,但很容易使经济走向衰退。

我们必须在这两条道路当中走出一条光明的路,把它们有机地连接起来。

The speed of economic growth, employment and inflation leads three aspects of closely interconnected. A high growth speed will bring more jobs, but at the same time increase inflationary pressure. And a low growth speed will mean fewer jobs but it is also likely to cause economic recession. We must strike a right balance between these two and insure a bright future for China’s economic development. We should take an integrated approach in taking relevant efforts on both fronts.我们要充分利用这样一个机会,调整经济结构,解决中国经济长期以来存在的不平衡、不协调和不可持续的问题,使经济的发展与人口、环境和资源相适应。

We must seize the current opportunities and make adjustments to China’s economic structure sothat we will be able to resolve the long-standing problem in China’s economic development. That is a lack of adequate balance, coordination and sustainability. And we must strike a balance between economic development and population, environmental protection and resources.7%的发展速度也不算低了。

大家注意到,我们的经济总量在不断增加,7%的速度使经济增长也不断增加,也就是说基数大了,真正实现有质量和效益的7%的增长速度,并非是一件容易的事情。

谈到就业,我觉得我们应该重视结构调整,在结构调整中特别应该重视发展中小企业,主要是科技型的小企业。

重视发展服务业,包括生产服务业,这些都可以容纳更多的就业。

我们一定想办法,在比过去低的速度下还能解决中国日益增长的就业压力问题,这对政府是一个极大的考验。

我们完全有决心能够办好这件事情。

I also want to point out that a 7% growth target is not a low target. We have noted that China’s economic aggregates have been expanding rapidly in recent years. And that 7% growth rate will also further add to China’s size of economy in aggregate terms. And that means we have an increasingly large base figure. Therefore it will not be easy for us to achieve this 7% growth target while at the same time insuring good quality and efficiency of economic development. With respect to jobs, I would like to say that we must pay close attention to economic restructuring. And in this course we should give priority to developing small and medium-sized enterprises, in particular small high-tech enterprises and develop the service sector including producer services. All these will help us spur more jobs. The government will make every effort to cope with the rising employment pressure with this downward adjusted economic growth target. I think this poses a great test to the government but we have the determination that we will be successful.谢谢你。
