　　三、句子翻譯

　　1. During the 1950s China exported agricultural products to the USSR and East European countries in return for manufactured goods and the capital equipment required for the country‘s industrialization programme which placed emphasis on the development of heavy industry.

　　20世紀50年代，中國向前蘇聯和東歐各國出口農產品以換取制成品和國家的工業化計劃所要求的資本設備，而國家的工業化計劃則強調重工業的發展。

　　2. The growth of foreign trade was distrupted again during the Cultural Revolution when agricultural and industrial production fell sharply and transportation constraints became more serious.

　　在文化大革命期間，外貿的增長又一次被打斷了。當時農業和工業生產急劇下降，運輸管制變的更嚴重。

　　3. Exports grew much faster than imports during this period not only because of the strong emphasis placed on exporting by China‘s economic planners， but also because a number of industrial projects were postponed in 1979. Official recognition that foreign technology could play a major role in modernizing the Chinese economy has caused imports to rise by more than 50 per cent in 1978， placing undue strain on the national economy.

　　在這個時期，出口增長要快于進口增長不僅是由于中國經濟計劃者著重強調出口，也是因為大多工業項目在1979年被推遲了。官方承認外國技術能夠在中國經濟的現代化化中起重大作用，這導致了1978年中國的進口增加了50%以上，從而給國民經濟帶來了重壓。

　　4. Chinese official stress the importance of introducing advanced technology to domestic industry， but the need is for technology of varying degrees of sophistication，not necessarily for advanced technology as that term is understood in the West.

　　中國官員強調為國內工業引進先進技術的重要性，但是需要的是各種程度不同的精尖技術，而不是像西方國家理解的先進技術。

　　5. There are no official statistics covering the invisible account of the balance of payments，but the size of the visible trade surplus during 1981-1983 and a pronounced increase in earnings from tourism suggest that the current account has been in surplus over the past few years. 沒有官方的統計資料涉及無形貿易收支，但在1981－1983年期間的有形貿易順差的大小和旅游贏利的顯著增長表明了經常項目在過去幾年里有盈余。

　　6. Goods are produced according to a sample provided by the customer，while strong encouragement is given to compensation trade whereby a foreign seller supplies raw materials and equipment and receives manufactured goods， produced by the equipment provided，in return .Compensation trade differs from barter or counter-trade insofar as there is a direct link between the equipment supplied from abroad and the manufactured product. Assembly manufacturing began in 1978 and particular forms of foreign trade are eligible for exemption from customs duties and taxation.

　　根據顧客提供的樣品來生產產品，同時強烈鼓勵補償貿易。由此國外的供應商提供原材料和設備并收到由其提供的設備生產出來的制成品作為回報。補償貿易在某種程度上不同于易貨貿易和反向貿易，在國外提供的設備和制成品中有直接的聯系。來件組裝始于1978年，特殊的對外貿易形式有資格免除關稅和其他稅收。

　　7. The debt problems confronting a number of developing countries have reinforced China‘s determination to introduce foreign technology by means of direct investment and concessionary finance rather than by raising substantial sums of money on the international capital markets. The authorities do not consider it appropriate to incur large amounts of external debt until a number of practical bottlenecks in the economy， such as an inadequate transport network and energy constraints， have been tackled.

　　許多發展中國家面對的債務問題使中國在引進外國技術時下了這樣的決心：采用直接投資和優惠付款方式融資，而不是在國際資本市場籌集大額的資金。在經濟中的許多實際瓶頸，如運輸網絡的不足和能源缺乏被克服以前，官方認為招來大筆外債的做法是不妥當的。
