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(diǎn)精析
1.發(fā)展中國(guó)家:英語(yǔ)中對(duì)應(yīng)的表達(dá)為developing country,該句結(jié)構(gòu)簡(jiǎn)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(gè)分句共享一個(gè)主語(yǔ)China,為了指代清楚并且避免重復(fù),此處的“人口”可譯為its population。
