ECTa6 Economic Outlook on China {此段和上段在逻辑上的衔接关系：上段说有情况表明投资需求今后几年将进一步增加，此段则分析满足这种需求所需的资金会从哪里来。} One question is whether China will be able to generate sufficient savings to meet its massive investment demand. We expect [to think that something will happen because it seems likely or has been planned: I expect to be back within a week. // There's the doorbell - I expect it'll be my mother. (LDoCE)] that this will be the case. So far, China has financed [To provide or raise the funds or capital for (AHD)] its investment mainly by domestic savings, with foreign capital inflows serving as a residual [The quantity left over at the end of a process; a remainder (AHD)] to fill the investment gap. <而外资的流入的外资只是则充当了用以剩余资金的角色填补了投资缺口的剩余资金的角色> While the deregulation of the economy and the restructuring {改制} of the state-owned enterprise sector are underway [happening now], the central government will continue to bear the brunt [to receive the worst part of an attack, criticism, bad situation etc: an industry that bore the brunt of the recession (LDoCE)] of subsidizing state companies, food prices, and a wide variety of public utilities for a few more years to come. Hence household savings will play an important role in fueling investment. Statistics show that a typical Chinese household saves as much as 35-45% of its disposable income. Another long-term challenge for China is the narrowing of economic disparities [a difference between two or more things, especially an unfair one: We are still seeing a disparity in/between the rates of pay for men and women. -LDoCE] between the coastal regions and the central and western provinces. Despite {≠although} Beijing’s regional development strategy, aimed at reducing growing economic inequality across the country, key coordination issues that need to be addressed [to start trying to solve (LDoCE)] include interregional cooperation, redistribution of resources from richer to poorer provinces, and closer links with external countries to encourage the inflow of foreign capital and technology. 两个IM (textuall M)难点都译对的：邓萌

对中国经济的看法 问题之一是，中国是否有能力筹集<拿出/吸引>足够多的储蓄来满足大规模投资的需求。我们期望可以做到这一点。/ 我们希望事实如此 / 我们预期这将是问题的关键所在 / 希望这个问题能够解决/得到正视。Translationese vague in meaning: 我们预计情况将是这样 我们认为这是办得到的。到目前为止，中国的投资主要来自国内储蓄{译成“主要通过国内储蓄来为投资提供资金”也可以，但不如现译简洁。}，外国资本流入的作用只是对 剩余投资空缺 投资缺额的一种补充 弥补资金不足。由于政府对经济管理的放宽和国企改制才刚刚起步，在未来的几年内，中央还需继续承受补助国企，粮食价格以及各种公用事业的负担。(“让步”译成了“因果”。）当/随着{IM (textual M / intersentential logical relations) wrong} 虽然经济的 自由化<放开> 松绑 {此处用“撤消管制”的另一种说法“松绑”来译deregulation，可使译文避免用词单调。} 以及国有企业体制的改革 {restructuring就是“改制”或“体制改革”。}正在展开，中央政府在未来几年里还将继续首当其冲地承受补贴国有公司、粮食价格以及 广大公共设施 各种公用事业的压力 担负…重任/挑大梁{PM wrong}承担…冲击{Collo.}。因此家庭储蓄将对 刺激 推动{paraphrasing} 投资起着重要作用。统计数据表明，一个普通中国家庭的可自由使用收入有35-45%之多。一个典型的中国家庭通常把 税后收入 可支配 {即可任意使用的那部分} 收入中的35-45％储蓄起来。 中国面临的另一大长期任务{译成“长期挑战”也可以。}是缩小沿海地区与中西部省份之间的经济差距。尽管北京制定了 西部大开发政策 地区发展战略以减轻日趋严重的全国经济不平等现象，还是有一些关键性的协调问题需要着手解决，这些问题包括地区之间的合作，资源从较富裕省份转向较贫穷省份的重新分配 {有同学丢掉原文具体内容，大而化之地译为“资源在 …… 之间的重新分配”或“优化资源配置”。}，以及密切同外国的合作以 {此处的“以”不能丢，因为原文的“to”表示目的} 鼓励外国资本和 先进 技术的流入。 (Mei Deming.
