自改革开放以来的18年中,中国国民生产总值的年均增长率为10%左右,环境恶化的状况基本得到了控制。实践证明,我们协调经济发展与环境保护两者之间关系的做法是行之有效的。
中国作为国际社会中的成员,在努力保护自己环境的同时,还积极参与国际环保事务,促进国际环保合作,并认真履行国际义务。所有这些都充分表明了中国政府和人民保护全球环境的诚意和决心。
人类在解决环境与发展问题中仍面临着大量的难题,任重而遭远。中国将一如既往,与其他国家合作,为保护我们的生存环境,为人类的幸福和繁荣,为造福下一代而奋斗。
As a developing country, China is confronted with the dual task of developing the economy and protecting the environment. Preceding from its national conditions, China has, in the process of promoting its overall modernization program, made environmental protection one of its basic policies, regarded the realization of sustained economic development as an important strategy and meanwhile, carried out throughout the country campaigns for pollution prevention and treatment as well as ecological environmental protection.
Over the 18 years since its adoption of reform and opening policy, China's gross national product has achieved a sustained average annual growth of around 10%, while its environment has basically ceased from deteriorating. The results of our work have shown that China's endeavor in striking a balance between economic development and environmental protection has been effective.
As a member of the international community, China, while making great efforts to protect its own environment, has taken an active part in international environmental protection affairs to promote international cooperation in environmental protection, and earnestly fulfilled her international obligations. All these have given full expression to the sincerity and determination of the Chinese government and people to protect the global environment.
Mankind still faces a great many difficulties in solving the problems of the environment and development, and there is a grand task to perform and a long way to go. China will, as it did in the past, cooperate with other countries of the world and strive for the protection of the environment for human survival, for the happiness and prosperity of humanity, and for the benefits of our children.

Household electrical appliances free us from housework so that we can enjoy more leisure time. Modern transportation makes the world so small that you can travel by air from one city to another in a few hours, which could take several days by trains.
In spite the above benefits we gained from the development of science and technology. However, everyone now worries about the pressure modern life. As more and more machines are applied in our daily life, life pace keeps getting faster and the world is getting too complex. As we pursue more and more material things, such as luxury cars, personal computers, big houses etc. Our financial pressures are growing. As job markets become shrinking and job competition becomes intense, everyone worries about losing his job. What's more, many people are now faced with the threat of terrorists or live in constant fear because of the unfair wealth distribution between the rich and the poor.
Since human beings are largely a pleasure seeking and pain-avoiding creature, we never stop inventing things to release us from hard labor. And we also try our best to prove that we are the masters of our surrounding. That's why our civilization keeps going forward and every new generation benefits from the efforts made by previous one. As high tech develops at a surprisingly high speed, we will gain more instead of suffering more and our future bright and promising.
