的环境。通过促进商贸业、制造业、农业、技术产业和银行之间的更为密切的合作，我们能够为国际市场提供更多、更好的出口产品。
Our government has stronger control over foreign trade, and strengthened the service and coordinating functions of such intermediary organizations as chambers of commerce. We hope to continue 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 tariffs, foreign exchange rates and interest rates. All these should help speed up the internationalization of China‘s foreign trade and create a better environment for bringing about our macroeconomics and trade. By promoting a closer cooperation among business and trade communities, manufacturing industries, agriculture, technology industries and banks, we will be able to produce more and better export commodities for the international market.
处在我们这样的情况，我们自然会成为一个大市场。为了发展我们的经济，提高我国人民的生活水平，我们需要进口先进的外国技术和产品。自从我们对外开放那时起，作为一个市场我们便开始吸引世界的注意。20年前，与中国有贸易关系的国家和地区还不到100个，现在已有250个国家和地区与中国建立了贸易关系，其中还有半数直接投资于中外合资企业。
Given our situation, we can‘t help but be a large market. To develop our economy and improve the life of our people, we need to import advanced foreign technology and products. We began to attract greater world attention as a market when we opened our door to the outside world. Twenty years ago there were no more than 100 countries and regions that had trade relations with China. Now the number has reached to 250, half of which have direct investment in Sino-foreign joint venture.

第二十八篇 科教兴国
我们要实施科教兴国的战略。科技进步是经济发展的决定性因素，发展教育是科技进步的基础。世界范围内日趋激烈的经济竞争和综合国力的较量，归根结底是科技和人才的竞争。我国只有大力发展教育和科技事业，把经济发展切实转到依靠科技进步和提高劳动者素质的轨道上来，才能加快现代化进程，缩小与发达国家的差距。
We should implement the strategy of developing the country by relying on science and education. Scientific and technological progress is a decisive factor in economic development, and educational development is the foundation of scientific and technological progress. The increasingly acute worldwide economic competition and overall competition between nations are, in the final analysis, competition in science and technology and for competent people. Only by vigorously developing education and science and technology and really setting forth on the path of developing our economy by relying on scientific and technological advancements and improving the quality of our laborers can we accelerate the process of modernization and narrow the gap between China and the developed countries.
科教工作的根本任务，是提高全民族的思想道德素质、科学文化素质和创新能力。这是我国现代化事业进一步发展的需要，也是适应世界科技革命和经济竞争新形势的需要。
The fundamental task of our work in science and education is to elevate the ideological and ethical standards, the scientific and cultural level of the entire nation and its creative capabilities. This is an imperative task which is dictated by China‘s need to further its modernization drive, to meet the requirements of the world‘s emerging scientific and technological revolution and to compete well economically in the world market.
科技工作要注重在社会生产、流通、消费和环境保护等领域，大力推广先进适用技术。促进科技成果尤其是信息技术成果的商品化，完善社会化科技服务体系，使科技进步更好地为经济和社会服务，为人民生活服务。大力推进高等教育管理体制改革，合理配置和充分利用教育资源，提高教学质量和办学效益。实施全面素质教育，加强思想品德教育和美育，改革教学内容、课程设置和教学方法，以适应社会对各类人才的需要。
In our work in science and technology, we should strive to promote the use of applicable advanced technologies in the fields of production, distribution, consumption, environmental protection and other fields. We should also promote the commercialization of scientific and technological achievements, and especially advances in information technology. We should improve the system of socialized scientific and technological services so that achievements in science and technology will, in turn, better serve economic and social development and the well-being of the people. We should vigorously promote the reform of management of higher education by means of judicious allocation and full use of educational resources so as to improve the quality of education and efficiency in school management. Emphasis should be laid on the improvement of ideological, moral and aesthetic education. Reforms should be carried out in school course contents, curriculum and teaching methods, in order to satisfy the society‘s need for all types of qualified personnel.
第二十九篇 浦东新兴工业区
站在上海的外滩，倚浦江东望，只见昔日那片旧棚简屋、苇塘阡陌的浦东大地，到处是气魄非凡的摩天大楼。如今，浦东光楼已成了上海的一大旅游景观。但是，高楼大厦并非浦东的全部。更令人振奋的是技术先进、装备精良、工业产值高达上海四分之一的新兴工业区的崛起。
Standing on the famous Bund of Shanghai and looking eastward across the Huangpu River, one cannot but see clusters of magnificent high-rise buildings in Pudong, which used to be largely a rural area scattered with dilapidated old houses, fields of weeds, poodles and pools. Viewing skyscrapers in Pudong has become a tourist
attraction for visitors in Shanghai. But high-rise buildings are not all that Pudong has. What is more inspiring is the emergence of modern industries that make use of advanced technology, state-of-the –art equipment and the industrial output valued more than a quarter of that of the Greater Shanghai.
近年来，浦东的整体工业快速发展，出现了六大支柱产业，即以生产―别克‖轿车的上海通用汽车合资企业为领袖的汽车产业，以生产超大规模集成电路的中日合资企业为龙头的电子信息产业，以生产不锈钢的中德合资企业为骨干的钢铁产业，以中德、中美合资企业为主体的石油化工及精细化工产业，以中日合资企业为代表的家用电器产业，以上海医药工业与一批世界著名医药企业联手发展起来的生物医药产业。
The last few years have seen a rapid upgrading of Pudong‘s industrial sector as a whole, best captured by the emergence of six pillar industries: the automaking industry headed by Shanghai-General Motors joint venture manufacturing Buick cars, the electronics-information industry led by a Sino-Japanese joint venture producing super large-scale integrated circuits, the steel-making industry with a Sino-German joint venture as its backbone producing stainless steel sheet, the petrochemical and fine chemical industry centering around Sino-German and Sino-US joint ventures, the home electrical appliances industry represented by Sino-Japanese joint ventures, and the bioengineering and pharmaceutical industry developed jointly by local pharmaceutical manufacturers and a number of world-renowned pharmaceutical enterprises.
美国通用汽车公司、德国巴斯夫公司、日立电器公司等一批跨国公司的高级职员在谈到他们总部的投资意图时无不坦陈，外方看中的是浦东在其全球战略中的地域优势、良好的投资环境和企业素质。在短短的几年里，伴随着这么多世界一流企业的投资项目，当今世界最富生命力和带动力的一些关键产业迅速落户到浦东，跨国公司的全球销售服务网络也延伸到中国。这是全球范围市场竞争的延伸。
When senior representatives of General Motors of the United States, BSF of Germany and Hitachi Electric of Japan talked about their investment in Pudong, they all pointed to Pudong‘s geographical advantage, good investment environment and the high quality of local enterprises as Pudong‘s attractions for their respective firms in their global strategy. In just a few years, along with the launch of investment projects by transnationals, so many world‘s first class and most dynamic and vital industries have steeled in Pudong. At the same time, the global sales and after-sales service
