(1)原文:
中國是世界上最大的發(fā)展中國家,人口約占世界總?cè)丝诘?2%。在過去相當長的時期里,由于諸多原因,貧困一直困擾著中國。20世紀80年代中期,中國農(nóng)村絕大多數(shù)地區(qū)憑借自身的發(fā)展優(yōu)勢,經(jīng)濟得到快速增長,但少數(shù)地區(qū)由于經(jīng)濟、社會、歷史、自然等方面的制約,發(fā)展相對滯后。中國政府在致力于經(jīng)濟和社會全面發(fā)展的進程中,在全國范圍內(nèi)實施了以解決貧困人口溫飽問題為主要目標的有計劃、有組織的大規(guī)模扶貧開發(fā),極大地緩解了貧困現(xiàn)象。
參考答案
China is the largest developing country in the world and its population accounts for about 22 percent of the world’s total. For a long period of its history, China has been plagued by poverty for various reasons. In the mid-1980s, the economy of an overwhelming majority of the rural areas in China grew dramatically by virtue of their own advantages, but a small number of areas still lagged behind because of the constraints of their economic, social, historical, and natural conditions. The Chinese government, while working on all-round economic and social development, has nationwide implemented a large-scale program for development-oriented poverty relief in a planned and organized way. With the main objective of helping poverty-stricken people solve the food and clothing problems, this program has gone a long way toward alleviating poverty.
難點精析
1.發(fā)展中國家:英語中對應的表達為developing country,該句結(jié)構(gòu)簡單,直譯即可。2.人口約占世界總?cè)丝诘?hellip;…:此句緊接上文,和前面一個分句共享一個主語China,為了指代清楚并且避免重復,此處的“人口”可譯為its population。
