翻译每日一练：温家宝2011年夏季在达沃斯论坛讲话3

原文：

步入21世纪第二个十年，中国的发展进入新的历史阶段，仍处在重要战略机遇期。和平、发展、合作仍是时代潮流，国际环境总体上有利于我国和平发展；我国工业化、城镇化和农业现代化深入发展，国内市场潜力巨大，国民储蓄率较高，科技和教育整体水平提升，劳动力素质改善，改革不断深化，社会大局保持稳定，这些都为经济社会发展创造了有利条件、开辟了广阔空间。我们也深刻认识到，我国发展中不平衡、不协调、不可持续的问题仍然突出，制约科学发展的体制机制障碍依然较多。随着经济总量不断扩大，保持我国经济在更长时期内高速增长的难度在加大。但国际国内形势新变化没有改变中国发展的基本面，我们完全有条件、有能力、有信心继续保持经济平稳较快发展，推动经济发展再上新台阶。

参考译文：

With its development entering a new historical stage in the second decade of the 21st century, China is in an important period of strategic opportunities. Peace, development and cooperation remain the trend of our times. The international environment is generally conducive to China’s pursuit of peaceful development. Numerous factors -- continuous industrialization, urbanization and agricultural modernization, huge market potential, a relatively high savings rate, better R&D capacity, better education, a more skilled labor force, deepening reform and overall stability -- have created enabling conditions and vast space for continued economic and social development in China. On the other hand, we are still facing a pressing problem, that is, China’s development is not yet balanced, coordinated and sustainable and there are many institutional constraints hindering scientific development. As the size of the Chinese economy grows, it will become difficult to keep high-speed growth over a long period of time. However, the new developments, both internationally and in China, have not changed the fundamentals of China’s development. We have the right conditions, and we have both the ability and confidence to maintain steady and fairly fast growth of the economy and bring China’s economy to a new stage of development.

难点解析：

1、步入21世纪第二个十年，中国的发展进入新的历史阶段，仍处在重要战略机遇期。注意英语末端尾重的原则。这句话的信息中心在“中国处在重要战略机遇期，把它处理为主句放在句末突出其重点，“步入21世纪第二个十年，中国的发展进入新的历史阶段则可以处理成状语。

2、我国工业化、城镇化和农业现代化深入发展，国内市场潜力巨大，国民储蓄率较高，科技和教育整体水平提升，劳动力素质改善，改革不断深化，社会大局保持稳定，这些都为经济社会发展创造了有利条件、开辟了广阔空间。

领导人讲话司空见惯的长句（鲁迅称之又长又~）。但仔细研究一下发现其实“我国工业化、城镇化和农业现代化深入发展，国内市场潜力巨大，国民储蓄率较高，科技和教育整体水平提升，劳动力素质改善，改革不断深化，社会大局保持稳定都是并列的关系，可以处理成名词短语作主语，这样就明朗很多。
