要点梳理

Notes:

1. Each other's + n

Plural or singular?

each other's face

each other's faces

The answer is: Both forms are common. Since “each other’s” basically means “(mutually) the other person’s”, and we wouldn’t say “the other person’s faces” (unless the other person is two-faced), it makes more sense to say “each other’s face”. Nevertheless, the plural form seems to be more common in modern usage, so it can hardly be considered incorrect.

In summary:

We saw each other’s faces. (correct, more common)

We saw each other’s face. (correct, more logical)

2.同比/环比/百分比/百分点

上半年，中国经济同比增长7.6％，

China’s economy grew at a speed of 7.6% in the first half of this year.

2018年中英贸易额首次超过800亿美元大关，英国对华出口同比增长6.9%，远高于英国GDP的增长。

Last year, our bilateral trade totalled more than $80bn and UK exports to China increased by 6.9%, much higher than its GDP growth rate.

据当地房屋中介透露，1月份上半月，上海房屋交易量同比增长了三分之一。

Transactions in Shanghai in the first half of January reportedly jumped by more than a third year-on-year.

2017年二季度GDP环比增长2.5%，同比增长1.1%，

In the second quarter of 2017, the quarter-on-quarter GDP growth was 2.5%, and the year-on-year GDP growth was 1.1%.

3.连续几年

bumper harvests for five consecutive years (for five years in a row; for five years running; for five years on end; for the fifth consecutive year)

粮食产量53082万吨，再创历史新高，实现连续6年增产。

Grain production was 530.82 million tons, a new record and an increase for the sixth consecutive year.

这些宏观调控措施取得明显成效，经济连续五年保持平稳快速发展，没有出现大的起落。

These macroeconomic regulatory measures produced significant results, and China's economy maintained steady and rapid development throughout the five-year period, without experiencing major fluctuations.
