制卧台贸易上兰 英汉商务翻译 and accept its risks.The decision to join the WTO,and to accept the disciplines and rules that lie at its heart,is the latest important step enabling China to navigate globalization's currents Therefore,I am proud that my colleagues and I had the opportunity last year,shortly after assuming office,to take the lead in driving to complete China's admission to the WTO after the process had been stalled for a year and half. As a WTO member,China is supposed to greatly reduce tariff and non-tariff barriers.It will need to improve protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights.It needs to allow companies engaged in telecommunications,computer services,banking,securities,insurance,freight forwarding,and wholesale and retail distribution to invest in China,providing services of value and spurring domestic competition.China has agreed to transform its system of laws and regulations through transparency,opening rules to comment before promulgation and to court review afterward.As a result,China's membership in the WTO will mean lower prices,greater consumer choice,greater enterprise efficiency,enhanced productivity,higher wages,new jobs, and more opportunity. 段落练习二 Our goal now should be to work together to assure that China's commitments are implemented faithfully and on schedule,and to assure that China,in turn,can utilize WTO rules to prevent other countries from closing their markets unfairly to Chinese goods. I want to repeat a key phrase-we should work together.Implementation of China's commitments will not always be easy.While some changes can be achieved by simple fiat or decree,many others will require a multitude of decisions,adjustments,and technical knowledge.When problems arise,as they will,my preferred method will be to consult,to try to understand the Chinese perspective,and to make suggestions on how to proceed in securing implementation of China's commitments. The United States and China also should work together on the future global trade negotiations launched in Doha last November-at the same historic meeting that admitted China to the WTO. The reduction in tariffs and elimination of non-tariff barriers brought about by the Kennedy, Tokyo,and Uruguay Rounds in the GATT-the precursor to the WTO-have underpinned and stimulated world economic growth in the last four decades.We need further bold steps to open markets for agricultural products,manufactured goods,and services that bring similar benefits in the years to come. China has much to show the world about the value of economic openness,of conditions favorable to foreign investment,tariff reduction,and increased reliance on market discipline.Therefore,I hope China will be active in the global negotiations in persuading countries that have resisted reforms to follow this proven path to economic development. 第2页共2页
