篇章练习——国际关系

当前，国际形势继续发生着深刻的变化。和平与发展仍是当今时代的主题，是各国人民的共同期盼。但我们生活的世界还不安宁1，影响和平与发展的不确定因素依然存在，局部冲突威胁着全球和地区的安全稳定，恐怖主义、跨国犯罪等非传统安全问题相当突出。//

一年来，世界经济虽然有所复苏2，但受周期性和结构性问题的影响，复苏步伐比较缓慢。值得欣慰的是3，我们所在的亚太地区经济发展保持了良好势头，前景看好。//

翻译译文

The international situation has been undergoing profound changes. Peace and development remain the dominant themes of our times and the popular aspirations of people of all lands. But the world we live in is anything but tranquil. Uncertainties that impede peace and development still exist. Local conflicts continue to pose threats to the security and stability of regions and the world as a whole. Non-traditional security concerns such as terrorism and trans-boundary crimes are quite pronounced. //

Over the past year, the global economy has rebounded somewhat. But burdened by cyclical and structural factors, the recovery is rather slow-paced. It is gratifying to know that our Asia-Pacific region has maintained a sound momentum of economic growth with a positive prospect of further expansion. //
