2018年大学英语六级考试翻译试题：中国经济

　　请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

　　【原文】

　　中国经济被称为“发展中的市场经济”。发展中的市场经济是指经济的重点放在劳动力、商品和服务领域，并由供需关系决定。中国经济在过去几年中一直呈增长态势，每年平均增长率约为10%。因为经济的持续发展，中国的贫困率已经降低。在过去30年里，人均收入(per capita income)增长超过了8%。由于2008年的经济变迁，许多私营企业被迫倒闭。正是由于这个原因，国有经济必须要发展。

　　【解析】

　　1.发展中的市场经济是指经济的重点放在劳动力、商品和服务领域，并由供需关系决定:该句可使用定语从句进行翻译，其中“重点放在”可译为put emphasis on sth.;“供需关系”即“供应和需求”，可翻译为supply and demand。

　　2.因为经济的持续发展，中国的贫困率已经降低:“经济的持续发展”可译为economy continues to develop; “贫困率”可用 the poverty rate来表达。

　　3.由于2008年的经济变迁，许多私营企业被迫倒闭:“2008年的经济变迁”可用economic changes in 2008来表达;“私营企业”可译为private enterprises。

　　【参考答案】

The economic growth in China has been increasing over the last few years. The average annual growth rate is about 10%. Because its economy continues to develop, the poverty rate in China has decreased. Per capita income has increased over the last three decades by more than 8%.Because of economic changes in 2008, many of the private enterprises were forced to close. It was due to this problem that the national economy had to expand.
