英語(yǔ)六級(jí)翻譯訓(xùn)練:中國(guó)農(nóng)業(yè)

農(nóng)業(yè)是中國(guó)的重要產(chǎn)業(yè)。中國(guó)的農(nóng)業(yè)產(chǎn)居世界首位，主要出產(chǎn)大米、小麥、土豆、花生、茶葉和棉花。盡管中國(guó)的可耕地(arable land)僅占世界的10%,但是中國(guó)卻為世界上20%的人口提供糧食。由于中國(guó)是發(fā)展中且可耕地嚴(yán)重匱乏，中國(guó)的農(nóng)業(yè)一直是勞動(dòng)密集型(labor-intensive)。中國(guó)政府密切關(guān)注農(nóng)業(yè)，加大投資力度，積極開展灌溉和水資源保護(hù)，以提髙農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)的現(xiàn)代化水平，使得中國(guó)各類農(nóng)產(chǎn)品的產(chǎn)品迅速增加。然而，由于人口眾多，人均農(nóng)產(chǎn)品產(chǎn)量很低。

參考譯文:

Agriculture is an important industry in China.China ranks first in agricultural output worldwide,primarily producing rice,wheat,potatoes,peanuts,tea,and cotton.Although accounting for only 10 percent of arable land worldwide,China produces food for 20 percent of the world's population.Due to China's status as a developing country and its severe shortage of arable land,farming in China has always been the labor-intensive industry.Chinese government has been paying close attention to agriculture,increasing the investment and actively carrying out irrigation and water conservancy to improve the modernization of agricultural production,which leads to a high growth rate in China's output of various agricultural products.However,due to the large population,the amount of the agricultural products per capita is small.
