英语四级翻译真题:中国经济

　　2.翻译第3句“中国排名提升了......，成为......”时，可译为并列构：China has moved up... and become...状语“紧随美国之后”译为behind the United States，按照英文表达习惯，置于句末。

　　3.倒数第2句中的“来保进中国经济的发展”表目的，故将其处理成目的状语，用不定式短语to boost Chineseeconomy 来表达。

　　4.最后一句的定语“最具有发展潜力的”，不要一看到“潜力”就马上对译成potential，其实这里可以理解为“最有前途的，故景最好的”，可用the most promising来表达。

　　参考译文
