2016年英语中级口译翻译练习及答案解析（十）

　　到 2007 年，上海市人均国内生产总值预计达到 7500 美元。这一目标的实现，最直接的应该是老百姓住得更宽敞，更舒服了。因为从市民的衣、食、住、行消费来讲，住房是一个重要的因素，而且占了大头。届时，上海人均住房面积会大幅增加。除此以外，老百姓的服务性消费，如教育，信息，旅游等消费也会大量增长。用一句话来说，那便是未来老百姓的生活会更好，那时的老百姓的生活将和中等发达国家的居民一样。

　　By 2007, the per capita GDP in Shanghai is expected to reach 7500 US dollars. The citizens will benefit most directly from achieving this goal with more commodious and comfortable houses to live in. Because shelter is an important factor and accounts for a majority of the consumption of the basic necessities of life —— food, clothing, shelter and transportation. At that time, the average per capita living space will surge dramatically. In addition, this is also the case with the citizen’s expenditure such as education, information, traveling. In a word, the citizens will live a better life, a life of the same standard as enjoyed by those in the middle-ranking developed countries.
