　　1.西部大开发是人民共和国中央人民政府的一项政策：即“是中国政府制定的一项政策”，此处可处理为定语从句，译为China's Western Development Policy is a policymade by the Central People's Government of thePeople's Republic of China.其中过去分词短语made by...作policy的后置定语。

　　2.剩余经济发展能力：其中“剩余能力”可译为surpluscapacity。

　　3.提高...经济和社会发展水平：可译为enhancing the economic and social development。因enhance前面是介词at,故此处用其现在分词形式。

　　4.缩小地区差距：可译为narrow the gap between different regions。narrow作形容词意为“狭窄的”，作动词则意为“使变窄”，引申为“缩小”。

　　5.共同富裕：可译为名词短语collective prosperity。

　　6.扩大国内需求：可译为expanding domestic demands。
