中国共产党第十八次全国代表大会（简称中共十八大）

The developments both in and outside of China require that we are ready to face more complicated and graver situations.

综合分析国内外形势，我们要做好应对更加复杂严峻局面的充分准备。

World economic growth remains sluggish,

世界经济增长低迷态势仍在延续，

and both the deglobalization trend and protectionism are growing.

“逆全球化”思潮和保护主义倾向抬头，

There are many uncertainties about the direction of the major economies' policies and their spillover effects,

主要经济体政策走向及外溢效应变数较大，

注:

spillover effects

外溢效应

and the factors that could cause instability and uncertainty are visibly increasing.

不稳定不确定因素明显增加。

China is at a crucial and challenging stage in its own development endeavors,

我国发展处在爬坡过坎的关键阶段，

and there are many salient challenges and problems in the economy.

经济运行存在不少突出矛盾和问题。

注:

salient ['seɪliənt]

She began to summarize the salient features/points of the proposal.

The difficulties we face are not to be underestimated, but we must remain confident that they will be overcome.

困难不容低估，信心不可动摇。

China has a solid material foundation, abundant human resources, a huge market, and a complete system of industries.

我国物质基础雄厚、人力资源充裕、市场规模庞大、产业配套齐全、

It is making faster scientific and technological progress, and has a complete range of infrastructure.

科技进步加快、基础设施比较完善，

We have good conditions for sustaining economic development,

经济发展具有良好支撑条件，

and many innovative tools and policy options for conducting macroeconomic regulation.

宏观调控还有不少创新手段和政策储备。

We should follow the leadership of the Party, uphold the Party's fundamental political guidelines, and keep to the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics;

我们坚信，有党的坚强领导，坚持党的基本路线，坚定不移走中国特色社会主义道路，

we should rely on the inexhaustible creativity of the people, unite as one, and forge ahead.

依靠人民群众的无穷创造力，万众一心、奋力拼搏，

注:

unite as one, and forge ahead

万众一心、奋力拼搏@LearnAndRecord

It is our firm belief that by doing this, we will make great new achievements in China's development.

我国发展一定能够创造新的辉煌。

Based on the above considerations, we have set the following key projected targets for development this year:

今年发展的主要预期目标是：

注:

下文目标内容多与[Part 1]对应。

•GDP growth of around 6.5 percent, or higher if possible in practice

国内生产总值增长6.5%左右，在实际工作中争取更好结果；

•CPI increase kept at around 3 percent

居民消费价格涨幅3%左右；

•Over 11 million new urban jobs, and a registered urban unemployment rate within 4.5 percent

城镇新增就业1100万人以上，城镇登记失业率4.5%以内；

•A steady rise in import and export volumes, and a basic balance in international payments

进出口回稳向好，国际收支基本平衡；

•Increases in personal income basically in step with economic growth

居民收入和经济增长基本同步；

•A reduction of at least 3.4 percent in energy consumption per unit of GDP, and continued reductions in the release of major pollutants

单位国内生产总值能耗下降3.4%以上，主要污染物排放量继续下降。

The projected target for this year's growth is realistic and in keeping with economic principles;

今年的经济增长预期目标，符合经济规律和客观实际，

it will help steer and steady expectations and make structural adjustments;

有利于引导和稳定预期、调整结构，

and it will help achieve the goal of finishing the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects.

也同全面建成小康社会要求相衔接。

An important reason for stressing the need to maintain stable growth is to ensure employment and improve people's lives.

稳增长的重要目的是为了保就业、惠民生。

@LearnAndRecord

As employment pressure grows this year, we will continue to give top priority to creating jobs and implement a more proactive employment policy.

今年就业压力加大，要坚持就业优先战略，实施更加积极的就业政策。

This year's target for urban job creation is one million more than last year, underlining the greater importance we are attaching to employment.

城镇新增就业预期目标比去年多100万人，突出了更加重视就业的导向。

Considering our sound economic fundamentals and the capacity they bring for job creation, with hard work, this target is attainable.

从经济基本面和就业吸纳能力看，这一目标通过努力是能够实现的。

「未完待续」

「持续更新中」
