【翻譯譯文】

　　Nowadays, China is stepping into the aging society. Therefore, the only-child generation is facing enormous pressure both from work and life. The Chinese government has begun to adjust the familyplanning policy and allows some families to have a second child under certain circumstances. However, the survey shows thatsome couples abandon to have a second child due to the increasing financial burden. Thus, in order to solve the aging problem,the basic thing is not relying on the increase of birth rate. The best solution is to establish an effective social security system.

　　和平穩(wěn)定是發(fā)展的前提和基礎。上個世紀，人類經歷了兩次世界大戰(zhàn)，生靈涂炭， 經濟社會發(fā)展遭受嚴重挫折。第二次世界大戰(zhàn)結束以來，世界經濟能夠快速增長，主要得益于相對和平穩(wěn)定的國際環(huán)境。

　　我們應該恪守聯(lián)合國憲章宗旨和原則，充分發(fā)揮聯(lián)合國及其安理會在維護和平、締 造和平、建設和平方面的核心作用。堅持通過對話和協(xié)商，以和平方式解決國際爭端。

　　我們應該堅持國家不論大小、強弱、貧富都是國際社會平等一員，以民主、包容、 合作、共贏的精神實現(xiàn)共同安全，做到一國內部的事情一國自主辦、大家共同的事情大家商量辦，堅定不移奉行多邊主義和國際合作，推進國際關系民主化。

　　Peace and stability form the prerequisite and foundation for development. The two world wars in the last century caused mankind untold sufferings and world economic and social development severe setbacks. It is mainly due to the relatively peaceful and stable international environment that the world economy has been able to grow at a fast pace in the post-war era.

　　We should abide by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and bring into full play the central role of the United Nations and its Security Council in peace keeping, peace making and peace building. We should seek peaceful settlement of international disputes through dialogue and consultation.

　　All countries, big or small, strong or weak, rich or poor, are equal members of the international community. We should work for common security in a spirit of democracy, inclusiveness, cooperation and win-win progress. Internal affairs of a country should be handled independently by the country itself and international affairs should be managed collectively through consultation by all. We should be committed to multilateralism and international cooperation, and promote democracy in international relations.

　　總結一年來的工作，我們清醒地看到，經濟社會發(fā)展中還存在不少問題和困難。必須堅持把人民群眾利益放在第一位。要切實維護人民群眾的經濟、政治和文化權益，著力解決關系群眾切身利益的突出問題，保障城鄉(xiāng)困難群眾的基本生活。不斷滿足人們日益增長的物質文化需要，是社會主義現(xiàn)代化建設的根本目的。只有執(zhí)政為民，我們的各項事業(yè)才能獲得最廣泛最可靠的群眾基礎和力量源泉。

　　In reviewing our work of the past year, we clearly see that many problems and difficulties remain in our economic and social development. We must always put the interests of the people first. We must truly protect the people‘s economic, political and cultural rights and interests, pay particular attention to solving acute problems affecting their vital interests, and ensure that poor urban and rural residents have the basic necessities of life. The fundamental goal of our socialist modernization drive is to continually meet the growing material and cultural needs of the people. Only if we exercise power for the good of the people can we enjoy the broadest and most reliable support from the people and draw from them the strength for accomplishing all our undertakings.
