两会
two sessions
Having made headlines at the Davos World Economic Forum with his vigorous defense of globalization, Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to take the spotlight in another gathering with global influence: the "two sessions" in Beijing.
在今年的达沃斯世界经济论坛上,中国国家主席习近平极力维护全球化而备受媒体关注,如今他将有望在具有国际影响力的盛会——北京召开的“两会”上,再次瞩目世界。
The fifth session of the 12th National People's Congress (NPC), and the fifth session of the 12th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, will open on March 5 and March 3, respectively.
第十二届全国人民代表大会第五次会议和政协第十二届全国委员会第五次会议,将分别于3月5日和3月3日在北京开幕。

对于世界第二大经济体——中国来说,一年一度的最高立法机构会议和最高政治协商机构会议堪称最重要的政治事件。
The NPC is the highest body of state power, enabling the Chinese people to exercise their power as "the master of state." New state leaders will be elected at the NPC session in March 2018 after the 19th Communist Party of China (CPC) National Congress elects a new Party leadership later this year.
全国人民代表大会是最高国家权力机构,使人民享有了“当家作主”的权利。今年下半年召开的中国共产党第十九次全国代表大会将选举新一届党领导层,而新一届国家领导人将于2018年3月的全国人民代表大会上选举产生。

特朗普首次国会演讲
Trump's first address to Congress
President Donald Trump reached for poetry and conjured a vision of common national purpose Tuesday during his first address to Congress, shifting his tone from the dark, searing approach of his previous big speeches to the nation.
2月28日,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在首次国会演讲中一改昔日演说中阴暗、激烈的言辞,召唤诗般的共同国家愿景。
In his first address to a joint session of Congress, President Trump challenged the orthodoxy of both political parties in a mind-bending and contradictory way that perhaps only he could deliver.
特朗普总统在首次联席会议致辞中,以令人费解又自相矛盾的言辞向两大政党的正统观念发起挑战,这点恐怕是无人能及。
Trump asked Democrats expand what is already the largest military in the world and approve tax cuts, even though they will be very unpopular with the party’s base. This might be expected of a Republican president who is talking to a Democratic party that is out of power in the US House and Senate.
尽管美国的军事规模已居世界首位,特朗普仍然要求民主党扩充军备、批准减税,但也许民主党对这两项决议并不买账。这无异于共和党领袖与在美国众议院和参议院中丧失权力的民主党对话一样。
But then Trump also championed paid family leave, to the applause of Democrats. And he asked Republicans to turn away from free trade and increase government spending on infrastructure, such as improving airports, fixing roads, repairing bridges and expanding high-speed rail services and subways.
但接着,特朗普也表示支持带薪家庭假期,引来民主党鼓掌赞成。他要求共和党放弃自由贸易,增加政府对基建的开支,如修建机场、道路、桥梁,扩展高铁和地铁运输等。

抵制“乐天”
boycott against Lotte
On Tuesday, Lotte, one of South Korea’s leading entertainment groups, agreed to provide a piece of land that the government in Seoul wants to use for the deployment of an American-made missile system known as THAAD. China strongly opposes the deployment of THAAD and had warned Lotte that its collaboration would have consequences.
韩国主要娱乐集团“乐天”于周二(2月28日)同意为首尔政府提供所需用地,用于部署美国研发的“萨德”反导弹系统。中国强烈反对部署“萨德”,并警告乐天此举将会产生严重后果。
Shortly after Lotte announced its decision to turn over the land, its Chinese website, Lotte.cn, suddenly became unavailable. Lotte said in a statement that its website had been the victim of a virus planted by hackers. The same day, Chinese e-commerce site JD.com removed the Lotte shopping site from its platform.
乐天宣布移交土地后不久,其中国网站Lotte.cn突然无法访问。乐天在一份声明中称其网站因黑客植入病毒而瘫痪。同日,中国电商京东在其平台上取消了乐天的购物页面。
Construction of a huge Lotte shopping and entertainment complex in the northern Chinese city of Shenyang had already been halted. Fire-safety regulations have been given as the explanation.
沈阳一处在建乐天购物娱乐综合体项目停工,给出的解释是违反消防安全管理规定。
While retaliation by the Chinese government is hard to prove, the state-run Xinhua news agency warned in an opinion piece that “the decision could turn into a nightmare for Lotte, which depends heavily on Chinese tourists to South Korea for revenue from duty-free stores.”
虽然来自中国政府的制裁尚未得到证实,但新华社在一篇评论文章中指出,乐天免税店的收入主要来自于中国赴韩游客,这一决定或许会成为乐天噩梦的开始。
