温总理关于千年发展目标讲话学习笔记

政府报告，领导人讲话致辞中，在描述达成的结果及未来的计划时，常用一连串的动词。比如加深、促进、拓宽、发展、改进等。我们来注意一下这些词的搭配方法。

我们注重从制度上保障和改善民生，在全国城乡实行9年免费义务教育，对8亿农民实行新型农村合作医疗，启动新型农村社会养老保险试点……
We have enhanced the institutional arrangements aimed at ensuring and improving people's well-being. We have extended the free nine-year compulsory education nationwide, introduced the rural cooperative medical care scheme for the 800 million farmers, and launched the rural old-age insurance program on a trial basis.

注：第一句将动词处理为“加强了以……为目的的制度性工作”。同样是“实行”，译文里用了extend和introduce。

促进了发展中国家的经济发展和民生改善，加深了中国与广大发展中国家的友谊，树立了南南合作的典范。今后，中国政府将进一步加强和改进援外工作，为全人类早日实现千年发展目标做出应有的贡献。
Such assistance has contributed to the economic development and people's well-being of the recipient countries, deepened China's friendship with them, and set a good example of South-South cooperation. The Chinese government will further strengthen and improve foreign assistance and contribute its due share to the early achievement of the MDGs throughout the world.

注：这段中的几个动词都是比较基础的，与后面的名词搭配也较为常见，不妨熟记，做到信手拈来脱口而出。

今后五年，中国将再为发展中国家建设200所学校；派遣3000名医疗专家，培养5000名医务人员……
In the coming five years, China will take the following steps in support of better livelihood for people in other developing countries: build 200 schools; dispatch 3,000 medical experts, train 5,000 local medical personnel…

注：这段中文并列列举了很多将要采取的措施，在译成英文时，可以加个起头句来概括一下。这样整段意思明确，也可以简化后面各分句的时态变化。
