1.  增长速度

A A target of 8% for the past five years did not stop China growing by more than 11% over that period.

target of 8%  

对于保八，受到很多人的质疑，现在刚将2012的目标定为7.5%。过去的几年，中国的经济高速前行。如果将中国经济比作成一个运动员，以前是在快速前行（sprint）,现在需要平静一下（pace）.

A target of 8% for the past five years did not stop China growing by more than 11% over that period.

2.增长现状

a.China’s development is neither balanced,co-ordinated nor sustainable.It relies too heavily on investment and on swallowing natural resouces and too little on consumer spending.

b.The income generated is unevenly divided: between profits and wages, rich households and poor, coastal provinces and inland regions, the cities and the countryside.

中国的发展不平衡，不协调并且是不可持续的。它过于依赖投资和自然资源的消耗，对消费支出的依赖不够。收入分配不均：利润和工资之间、富裕家庭和穷人之间、沿海省份和内陆地区之间、城乡之间。
