1. Would you comment on the possibility of China's entry into the World Trade Organization this year?
请您谈一谈中国今年进入世界贸易组织的可能性？
2. How do you view the prospects of making further investment in China's coastal cities?
您如何看继续在中国沿海城市投资的前景？
3. 我们主要从财政政策、银行制度以及国有企业这三方面进行改革。Mainly, we will conduct reform in three areas, that is, the fiscal policy, the banking system, and state-owned enterprises.
4. 我们高兴地看到，全国以及各行业的总的情况是稳定的，没有出现大的问题，从而大大增强了我们的信心。这些领域的改革必须得到中国人民的理解和支持，为他们所接受。这并非易事。We are glad to see that the general situation in the country and in all industries has been stable. No big problems have cropped up, and this has greatly boosted our confidence. These reforms also must nave the Chinese people's understanding, support, and acceptance. That is by no means easy.
5. 但是我们并没有采用激烈的做法，事实上我们的做法是稳妥的。But the measures we introduce are not so drastic. They are actually quite moderate.
6. 我们将今年的目标定在9%至10%。我们不可能做到7%，那样做会使经济陷入一种混乱的局面，那样的波动也会引起社会混乱。Our target is 9% to 10% for this year. It is not possible for us to achieve 7% because that would create a disruption to the economy. In addition, that kind of fluctuation would lead to social instability.

8. 认为中美贸易战只会伤害中国一方那是不正确的。我认为首当其冲的是美国公民，最大的受害者是美国的普通消费者。It is not correct to think that it would be a terrible thing only for China if that should happen. I think that it's the American public-the general American consumer-who would suffer the most.
9. 我认为他根据人均粮食消费400公斤而对中国粮食总需求所做出的统计是正确的。I think his calculation on the total demand for grain in China. Which was based on the per-capita grain consumption of 400 kilograms, is correct.
10. 但是，我又不得不指出，布朗先生那些关于2003年中国粮食生产总量以及增长率的数字是完全错误的。他的数字是根据21年前，中国粮食总产量2.67亿吨这一情况推算出来的。I have to say, however, Mr. Brown's figure about China's total production capacity by the year 2030, as well as it's growth rate is by no means accurate. The figure that Mr. Brown used was derived from that of 21 years ago when China's total grain production reached 267 million tons.
11. 我们的估算表明，到2020年是我国粮食消费量的95%的数量将依赖自己的谷物生产，这在国际上算是一个极高的比率。尽管中国人口众多，但它目前对粮食的进口只占了其消费总量的2%。粮食自给是我国近半个世纪来的一贯政策。基于粮食自给的原则，我们制定了计划生育、环境保护和粮田保护三项基本国策。此外，中国是个大国，从成本上来考虑，进口粮食只对沿海地区有利。而偏远地区和内地，因运输成本太高，从未依赖粮食进口。Our estimation shows that by the year 2020 China will be relying on 95 percent of its own grain production to feed the nation, an extremely high rate in the world. Despite China's huge population, its net grain import currently accounts for only about two percent of its total consumption. Self-sufficiency in grain has been a policy that the country has been following for nearly half a century, as such, three essential national programs-family planning, environmental protection and the preservation of crop-lands---were based on adhering to this principle. In addition, China is a large country and relying on imported grain can only be cost-effective for its coastal areas. The hinterland and inland regions have never depended on imported foods due to the high cost of transportation.
12. 美国前国务卿蒂安、艾奇逊在45年前说过，中国众多的人口对任何一届中国政府来说都是一种无法承受的压力。Dean Acheson, former US Secretary of State, side about 45 years ago that China's huge population was an unbearable pressure for all Chinese governments.
13. 统计数字显示，世界上只有两个国家能够承担12亿人口所需粮食的压力，那就是中国和美国。然而，明显不同的事，中国仅以美国一半的可耕地生产了同样数量的粮食，并负担了近乎美国人口四倍的人民的吃饭问题。Statistics show that only two counties in the world, i.e., China and the United States, are capable of supporting a population of 1.2 billion. The marked difference, however, is that China produces the same amount of grain on only half the size of US crop-land but supports a population nearly four times that of the United States.
14. 首先，我们要开阔视野，使我们能更有效率的发展社会主义市场经济，成为好的经理和政策制定者。其次，我们希望加强外贸体制的改革，使外贸逐渐走向竞争，并使之受到诸如关税、汇率和利率等法律和经济手段的制约。First of all, we want to broaden our own mental horizons so as to be more effective in developing a socialist market economy and to become better managers and policy-markers. Second, we hope to strengthen reform in our foreign trade system in order to gradually open foreign trade to competition and to get it under both legal and economic control, such as tariff, exchange rates and interest rates.
15. 我们对外经济合作与贸易往来多头并进，产品、资本、技术和劳力紧密结合，互相促进。Our foreign economic cooperation and trade have been developing in many directions at once, closely combining products, capital, technology and labor, one sector helping to promote the other.
