英语四级翻译真题附答案:中国经济挑战

　　3.在第4句中，“除了......问题”可用in addition to来表达;“问题”这个表述重复出现，可分别用problem和issue来表示;“有待解决”是不带被动标示词的表被动的短语，翻译时宜使用被动语态。

　　4.第5句句首的“随着中国社会的发展和人们生活方式的改变”可译为Withthe development of Chinesesociety and the change of people's lifestyles，但译文显得繁冗，不如译为 As China develops and itspeople change their lifestyles来得简洁及逻辑性强。“需求开始显现”直译成the need becomesapparent较为生硬，可套用there appear存现句型，将“需求”转换成宾语，其定语“转变经济模式的”相应转换为目的状语，译作to shift its economic model。

　　参考译文
