第三環(huán)節(jié) 會議口譯

       1）中譯英：

       席卷全球的金融危機給我國的經(jīng)濟帶來了嚴重的沖擊，比如出口下滑、工業(yè)減速，企業(yè)比較困難，財政收入也呈下降的趨勢。應(yīng)該說，今年我們面臨著進入新世紀以來困難最大、形勢最嚴峻的一年，經(jīng)濟增長的下行壓力比較大。也就是說，我們的首要目標就是要千方百計地保持經(jīng)濟能夠有一個平穩(wěn)較快的增長。溫家寶總理在談到這樣一個目標的時候，說到我們有信心、有能力、有條件。從長期來看，我們的經(jīng)濟的向好趨勢沒有改變。為了保持今年8%的增長速度，我們要全面實施一攬子計劃。

       第一，擴大內(nèi)需。這是我們應(yīng)對當前危機所要采取的刺激消費需求、刺激投資需求的措施，也是一個可以盡快見效的措施。第二，振興產(chǎn)業(yè)。已經(jīng)通過的十個重點產(chǎn)業(yè)調(diào)整和振興規(guī)劃，是一個中長期結(jié)合的規(guī)劃，是既要為應(yīng)對當前的危機發(fā)揮作用，同時要為未來的發(fā)展奠定基礎(chǔ)的規(guī)劃。第三，科技支撐。從長期來看，真正要保持經(jīng)濟又好又快的發(fā)展，還得要提高我們的自主創(chuàng)新能力、我們的技術(shù)水平、開發(fā)能力。第四，大力提高社會保障水平。要解決人民群眾生活上的一些困難，解決教育的問題，解決醫(yī)療衛(wèi)生的問題，解決就業(yè)的問題。所以這個一攬子計劃的實施，我相信對于今年保8%可以發(fā)揮決定性的作用，對于未來的發(fā)展，也能夠奠定比較堅實的基礎(chǔ)。

       2）英譯中：

       Ladies and gentlemen,

       The theme of my remarks today is policy challenges in responding to the global financial crisis. The sharp global contraction is affecting both advanced and developing countries. According to the IMF, output in advanced economies is expected to contract by 2 percent in 2009, a sharp downward revision from expectations just a couple of months ago. Growth prospects for emerging market and developing countries have been revised downward by a similar magnitude as advanced economies. Global GDP will decline this year for the first time since World War II, with growth at least 5 percentage points below potential. In responding to the global financial crisis, developing and emerging market countries will face three main policy challenges.

       The first policy challenge is stabilization. Given the unprecedented severity of the crisis, the challenge for policymakers is to assess their ability to undertake countercyclical policies given the resources available to them as well as their institutional and administrative capacity to rapidly expand and adapt existing programs.

       The second polity challenge is protecting longer-term growth and development. An important lesson learned during the Asian financial crisis in the 1990's was that neglecting core development spending during a major crisis can have great long-term disadvantages. As we are responding to immediate fiscal pressures, we cannot reduce public spending on the maintenance of existing infrastructure essential for economic development. Otherwise, rehabilitation over the longer term can be costly and economic recovery held back.

       The third policy challenge lies in protecting the vulnerable. The crisis is projected to increase poverty by around 46 million people in 2009. Inevitably, the crisis will impact social and human development objectives. This implies new spending needs and may warrant a re-prioritization of existing public spending. Critical to protecting people in poor and "at-risk" countries will be the ability of governments to finance programs that create jobs, ensure the delivery of core services, and provide safety nets.
