编者按：全国两会，湖南时刻。红网英文频道推出双语特刊《双语两会·看湖南》，为你梳理湖南代表团动态、聚焦提案议案、关注热点话题。今天推出第六期。
一. 聚焦全国两会
“春天来了，我种了一男朋友，明年春天就能收获好多男朋友，一个开车，一个捶背，一个煮饭，一个洗衣服……哈哈哈哈哈”今天是第37个植树节。也是开展全民义务植树运动34周年。1981年我国规定，除丧失劳动能力者外，凡中华人民共和国公民，男11至60岁，女11至55岁，每人每年都要植树3至5棵。掰掰手指，赶紧数数你要种多少棵树啦？
数不清不要紧，跟时刻姐一起来关注两会的"生态"话题，涨涨姿势吧。还有昨天，昨天科技部长万钢的记者会上，不少湖南“智造”成果列入了部长“点赞”清单。是不是很想知道呢？
习近平：保护“生态”如护眼睛
(习近平说，要让城市融入大自然，让居民望得见山、看得见水、记得住乡愁。)
生态文明建设:the establishment of ecological civilization
中共中央将“生态文明”（ecological civilization）建设放在了更加突出的位置。习近平总书记强调环境保护重要性时指出：“像保护眼睛一样保护生态环境，像对待生命一样对待生态环境”。
Achieving ecological civilization is atop the agenda of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, as General Secretary Xi Jinping stresses the importance of environmental protection by saying that "we should protect the environment like we protect our eyes and treat the environment like it is our lives".
人类追求发展的需求（the demands of development）和人类追求发展的需求（the demands of development）和地球资源的有限供给（the Earth's limited resources）是一对永恒的矛盾（an enduring conflict），必须解决好“天育物有时，地生财有限，而人之欲无极”的矛盾，达到“一松一竹真朋友，山鸟山花好兄弟”的意境。
党的十八大（the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China）已经首次将生态文明建设（the establishment of ecological civilization）写入党章（the CPC Constitution）。十八大以来，习近平在各种场合谈论生态文明已经有60多次。[Full text]

3月11日，十二届全国人大三次会议召开记者会。科技部部长万钢在回答记者提问时，连用8个“蛮拼的”总结去年中国的科技发展与科技改革工作。“‘天河二号’连续四年居世界超级计算机的榜首”、“杂交水稻百亩均产量超过1000公斤，又创下了一个世界纪录”……不少湖南“智造”成果列入部长“点赞”清单。 【详细】

科技部部长万钢记者会关键词
“蛮拼的”:work extremely hard
“蛮拼的”完全是一句中文口语，在英文中找不到直接对应的表达方式，所以翻译前得先推敲它原本表达的意思，并且根据实际语境语气来分析。 在贺词中，习大大是在肯定和赞扬各级干部的认真工作，用简单的英文词汇表达出“工作很努力”的意思即可。像中央电视台英语频道的官方微信翻译的就是“work extremely(非常) hard”。[Full text]
“双引擎”: the"twin engines"
1.扩大公共产品和公共服务的供给: increased supplies of public goods and services to drive development
2.大众创业、万众创新:popular entrepreneurship and mass innovation
李克强总理在瑞士达沃斯年会上发表演讲时首次提出“双引擎”概念：一方面要改造升级传统引擎，扩大公共产品和公共服务的供给；另一方面要培育打造新引擎，推动大众创业、万众创新。2015年中国将采取措施为“双引擎”加油，使其释放能量助推中国经济保持“双中高”——实现中高速增长、迈向中高端水平。

三.2015两会不可不知的热词(下篇：O-Z）
O|Opening up 开放
China became a net foreign investor for the first time in 2014.

In 2015, China will further open up its service sector, guided by experience distilled from the Shanghai Free Trade Zone.

Xi Jinping is scheduled to pay a State visit to the United States in September.

Z|Zone 自贸区
A year and a half after the launch of the pioneering Shanghai FTZ, similar FTZs in Guangdong, Fujian and Tianjin have been approved and may have an official kick-off very soon. Experts say they are not simple copies of the Shanghai FTZ, but more regionally integrated, targeted, and differentiated in their functions.
中国首个自由贸易试验区正式于上海挂牌近一年半后，粤闽津三个新设自贸区正式挂牌之日渐近。专家认为新一批自贸区并非对上海自贸区经验的简单复制，而是区域化特征明显、目标指向性更强，走差异化道路。
