[ 2009-03-11 09:22 ]
A popular term to describe the central government's drive to achieve an 8 percent growth rate of the gross domestic product (GDP) this year.
“保八”是描述中央政府今年力保国内生产总值(GDP)增长8%的通俗说法。
China has maintained a nearly 10 percent GDP growth rate over the past three decades since reform and opening-up. The fast-growing economy is now at risk of an abrupt slowdown or downturn due to the global economic crisis.
改革开放政策实行30年以来,中国国内生产总值一直保持年均增长10%的态势。全球经济危机导致的经济突然放缓和低迷使中国快速增长的经济目前处境不利。
Its 8 percent economic growth is considered necessary to maintain social stability and provide jobs for tens of millions of new laborers swarming into the country's crowded job market every year.
通常认为,“保八”对保持社会稳定以及为每年新增的数千万就业人口提供工作岗位十分必要。
