总结一年来的工作，我们清醒地看到，经济社会发展中还存在不少问题和困难。
In reviewing our work of the past year, we clearly see that many problems and difficulties remain in our economic and social development.
总结用review，在这里用了现在分词形式，不失为一种简单而又正式的方式。在后半句的翻译中，英文和汉语语序整体大相反，注意“经济社会发展”的表达方式：in economic and social development.
必须坚持把人民群众利益放在第一位。
We must always put the interests of the people first.
这句话翻译起来比较简单，注意“把......放在第一位”put...first。 要切实维护人民群众的经济、政治和文化权益，着力解决关系群众切身利益的突出问题，保障城乡困难群众的基本生活。
We must truly protect the people‘s economic, political and cultural rights and interests, pay particular attention to solving acute problems affecting their vital interests, and ensure that poor urban and rural residents have the basic necessities of life.
翻译整段，必然会有个别长句，这就需要我们把握整体结构，表明大意即可。 这段话是很正式的会议截取，所以咱们翻译时很多词组或者句子结构都是有据可循的。比如这句“着力解决关系群众切身利益的突出问题”，翻译的时候，没有完全按照汉语语序，而是把“关系群众切身利益”翻译为现在分词作后置定语结构 affecting their vital interests。
注意固定词组与句式：
维护人民群众的经济、政治和文化权益 protect the people‘s economic, political and cultural rights and interests
着力解决......pay particular attention to solving （记住，pay attention to doing/sth 这个固定结构）
不断满足人们日益增长的物质文化需要，是社会主义现代化建设的根本目的。 The fundamental goal of our socialist modernization drive is to continually meet the growing material and cultural needs of the people. 这句话翻译出来，也是将汉语语序颠倒后进行的翻译。用了to do不定式做表语。这句话大家可以完全背诵下来。
只有执政为民，我们的各项事业才能获得最广泛最可靠的群众基础和力量源泉。
Only if we exercise power for the good of the people can we enjoy the broadest and most reliable support from the people and draw from them the strength for accomplishing all our undertakings.
只有......才......这个结构需要用到英文结构only if。后半句汉语很复杂，所以英语翻译时，用了两个and连接的分句，来更清楚正确地表达汉语的意思。 注意固定词组与句式：
执政为民 exercise power for the good of the people
我们的各项事业 all our undertakings

澳门，南海之滨一颗闪耀的明珠，以她的风采、沧桑和辉煌，更以1999年12月20日这个不同寻常的日子，吸引着全世界的目光。
A shining pearl on the coast of South China, Macao attracts the world’s attention for her charm, history of great events and glory, especially for the unusual date of December 20, 1999. 本句翻译没有完全按照汉语语序，而是用英语特有的翻译方式来凸显一些值得大家注意的细节。
South China Sea 表示中国南海，不是“南中国海” East China Sea 东海
自古以来，澳门就是中国的领土，中华儿女世世代代在这里繁衍生息。
Macao has been the territory of China ever since the ancient times. TheChinese people have been living and working there for generations. 汉语为一个长句，但翻译为英文就要注意，要分成两个句子。 自古以来：ever since
早在80年代，世纪伟人邓小平就提出了\"一国两制\"的伟大构想。
Early in the 80s, Mr. Deng Xiaoping, one of the great figures of thecentury, put forward the bold concept of \"One Country, Two Systems\". 注意“80年代”这种翻译方式 伟人：great figure 提出：put forward
一国两制：One Country, Two Systems
1997年7月1日，中华人民共和国恢复对香港行使主权。
On July 1,1997, the People’s Republic of China resumed her sovereignty over Hong Kong.
本句是个简单句，很好翻译。
恢复对......行使主权：resume one's sovereignty over
今年，澳门又将彻底结束外国管治，回到祖国怀抱，这是中华民族的又一件历史盛事，它标志着中国人民向着祖国统一的伟大目标又迈出了重大的步。澳门的明天一定会更好美好。
This year, Macao will completely get rid of the foreign regime and return tomotherland. This is another great historical event for the Chinese people. Itsymbolizes another big step for the Chinese people on their way towards thegreat goal of the country’s reunification. Macao’s future is sure to be evenbrighter. 本汉语长句翻译成英语，共用了4个英语完整句。汉语可能任何时候都可以用逗号来衔接两个整句，但英语不可以，完整句后必须用句号或表示相同概念的标点。
