One Of the most notable phases Of the industrial revolution was the rapid growth of cities。 2(问题法 用提问的方式来引发文章的内容，吸引读者的注意力。例: Should a scientist be responsible for his discoveries? What does it take to succeed in one?s studies or career? 3(数据法 用某些统计数字来引出文章的内容，例: The fact that less than 5, of the British population graduate from universities may seem surprising when compared with the American percentage of over 30,( 4(概要法 开宗明义地让读者了解文章的主要观点，然后通过举例或逻辑推理等方法加以佐证， 例: This memo covers five steps in the new procedure. This report is divided into three main sections:(1) what equipment you need，(2) how to use equipment ，and (3) how to maintain equipment( (二)结尾 在写英文作文时，结尾是值得考生重视的另一个关键的地方。如果写得好，往往能给 读者留下深刻印象。下面介绍几种常见的结尾写法: 重复文章的主题句 1( 重复文章的主题句的目的在于强调作者的主要论点，例: With the foregoing three points in mind，one can be a true good student( If any items mentioned above arouse your interest，please 1et us know( 2(概括结论 用几句话概括上文内容来加深读者对文章观点的理解，例: From what has been discussed above，we may draw the conclusion that no success can be achieved without laboring( In summary，we should create such an environment in which each child in his or her own way follows his curiosity where it leads him，develops his ability and talents，pursues his interests and likes( 3(提出展望或期望 表示对将来的期待或是鼓动读者采取行动，例: It is essential that effective measures should be taken to redress such inequality. It is high time that we should urge an immediate end to this phenomenon( 4(强调意义 从更高或更新的角度来强调上述论点的重要性或其深远的意义，例: Admittedly，science has created atomic bombs and produced pervasive pollution(But it has transformed the lives of millions of people( 六(段落的写法 (—)段落中的主题句 正文中的每个段落包含一个主题句(Topic sentence)。主题句概括全段意思，其他句子 则围绕主题句加以阐明、补充或论证。这种补充意义的句子称为支持句(Supporting sentence)。一般说来，主题句写在段落的开端，后面的支持句为主题句提供论证或细节。 例如: Education is a third important area in which technology is separating us from others(From elementary schools to colleges，students spend more and more time sitting by themselves in front of computers(The computers give them feedback，while teachers spend more time tending the computers and less time interacting with their classes(A similar problem occurs in homes As more families buy computers，increasing numbers of students practice their math and reading skills with software programs instead of their friends，brothers ,sisters and their parents( 例2: Mao Zedong remains in important ways the center of the country’s moral universe( For example，we may see a fresh nationwide enthusiasm for Mao as China marked the centenary of his birth last week(.( The society abounds with stories of quick killings(An English teacher in Nanjing tells of a friend who made millions on the stock market in two weeks(A lawyer in Beijing(( 段落中主题句必须写得简洁明了。例: The new brochures are full of major printing errors( Three causes contributed to the problem at Plant X( (二)段落内部的一致性 所谓一致性，是指在一段文章中，应该只说明一个问题或一个问题的某一方面; 或应该只叙述一件事情或一件事的某一阶段。也就是说，每段只能有一个中心 思想或主题，所有的支持句都要有助于发展主题句的中心思想，都要为中心思想 服务。这种主题句和支持句在意义上的统一就是段落的一致性。 例: Progress is gradually being made in the fight against cancer(In the early 1900s，few cancer patients had any hope of long term survival(In the l930s，less than one in five cancer victims lived more than 5 years(In the 1950s，the ratio was one in four(Currently the ratio is down to one in three(The gain from l in 4 to 1 in 3 represents about 58，000 lives saved each year( 但是，如果我们在这个段落中加入诸如“It has been proved that smoking is a direct cause of lung cancer'’或“Heart disease is also increasing(”等句子，段落就缺乏一致性。 同时，在单句或复句的写作中，也要体现“一致性”的原则;要注意下列的问题: 1(不要把无关的思想包含在一个句子中 例:The mountain is six thousand feet high，and it is only 4 miles from the small airport，(and the field is not a very large one，) but no plane has ever crashed on it( 在此句中，括号中的内容与句子的主题无关，不该包含在此句中。 2(避免使用过分复杂的句法结构和矫揉造作的修饰手法 例: The electric fan which she bought for her father，who complains about any temperature that exceeds 30 degrees centigrade and insists that he can’t stand the heat，arrived today( Better:Her father complains about any temperature that exceeds 30 degrees centigrade and insists that he can’t stand the heat(The electric fan she bought for him arrived yesterday( 第一句使用了过多的定语、宾语从句，反而显得层次不清，中心不突出，改写成 两句后，意义显得清楚而自然。 3(在同一句中，要尽量保持主语和语态的一致 ( 例: The peasants cut the wheat，and it is dried( Better:The peasants cut the wheat，and they dry it( 在并列句中，同一主语和语态最好贯彻到底。第一句改换主语并用了被动语态， 造成逻辑上的不一致。 4(避免逻辑错误或意义模糊的句子 例: The bus conductor pushed the button to shut the door，but caught my left foot. Better:The bus conductor pushed the button to shut the door，which caught my left foot( 原句的意思是“售票员关门夹住了我的脚，”第一句在逻辑意义上是讲不通的，应删 去but，改用which，就表明是车门夹住了我的脚，意思就通顺了。 综上所述，段落的一致性原则主要体现在以下两点: ?每段的中心思想要明确，全段的句子都应该围绕说明一个问题; ?同一句子(单句及复句)的意义也应该突出，突出要说明的内容，去掉无关或多余的字句， 同时要避免那些造成逻辑不合的词句。 (三)段落内部及段落之间的连贯性(coherence) 连贯性原则要求文章段落中各句前后衔接，条理清楚，使读者易于理解，连贯性 由叙事的逻辑次序和使用转折语进行句子间和段落间的过渡来体现。 1(叙事的逻辑次序 英文写作中常用的叙事的逻辑次序有以下几种。 (1)按时间先后次序(chronological order) 主要见于记叙文和说明文。例: The Evolution Of Computers In the relatively short span of 25 years， there has been an incredible evolution in the size and capabilities of computers(Today，computers smaller than the tip of your fingernail have the same capabilities as the room—sized machines of 25 years ago(The first computer was developed around 1945。They were so large that they required special air-conditioned rooms( About 20 years later，in the 1960s desk—sized computers were developed.. However a third generation of computers had appeared(In 1971，the first microprocessor was developed. Today，electronic engineers predict that.... (2)按空间先后次序 包括前后、左右、上下、内外等等顺序，主要见于说明文和记叙文。例: Our classroom is on the third floor of the classroom building(It is a large room about 20 feet long and 10 feet wide(The walls are light green and the ceiling is white(Under the windows there are two radiators for heating the room in the winter time(On the opposite wall near one end there is a brown door( (3)按演绎法(deduction)或归纳法(induction)次序 即从总的概念到具体情节，或从具体细节到总的概念和结论。主要见于议论文、 说明文和记叙文中。例: Christmas is a holiday observed throughout the Christian world(On this day，the birth Jesus Christ is celebrated(In many Christian countries，Christmas is a day for giving gifts( The Christmas tree is decorated and gifts are placed under it(Special foods are often prepared for Christmas. Give a chance to grow(Don’t mold them from one of a thousand patterns(Let them seek knowledge，but do not find it for them(Let them take their own time to grow;do not set rigid time schedules...Experience can not be taught;it must come slowly through personal search( (4)按情节的重要性次序(order of importance) 即按最重要的到不太重要的顺序排列，或按不太重要的到最重要的顺序排列。 例: The Causes Of Inflation Inflation is an economic condition in which prices for consumer goods increase，and the value of money decreases(There are three causes of inflation(The first and most important cause may be excessive government spending(For example，...The second cause of inflation occurs when the money supply increases faster than the supply of goods(„Finally，if labor unions demand that workers’wages be increased to cover the high cost of living，industry will meet this demand and add other cost of production onto the consumer(In summary，„ 英文写作中，为了使文章所表达的意思更加连贯，经常需要通过过渡实现句子间、 段落间衔接。通常使用转折词过渡。根据意义要求，可使用不同的转折词。常用 的转折词有以下几种类型: 举例:for example，for instance，that is，to illustrate，specifically，as an illustration， once，such as ?增补(addition):in addition(to)，besides，also，moreover，furthermore，the third reason，next，last of all ? 强调(emphasis):above all，indeed，of course，in fact，as a matter of fact，in particular ?对比、对照(contrast):in contrast，on the other hand，in spite of，despite，on the contrary，although ， ?比较 (comparison):similarly，like，in the same way，at the same time，equally important ?让步 (concession):after all，it is true that ?原因 (cause): because(of)， for this reason， owing to，thanks to，due to，since ?结果 (consequence):therefore，as a result，consequently，thus，so ?结论 (conclusion):to sum up，to conclude，in short，in a word, in brief，in conclusion， therefore，as has been noted (mentioned，said，stated) above 除了上面提到的转折词，我们有时也可以使用代词(如he，she，it, you，they， this，that，others)、同义词和重复关键词等手段来使得文章的段落之间、段落 内部的句子之间互相衔接。 例: Another way for people to economize at an amusement park:is to bring，their own food( If they pack a nourishing，well—balanced lunch of cold chicken，carrot sticks，and fruit， they will avoid having to pay high prices for hamburgers and hotdogs(They will also save on calories， Also，instead of filling up on soft drinks， they should bring a thermos of iced tea( It is more refreshing than soda，and it is a great deal cheaper(Every dollar that is not spent at a refreshment stand——is one that can be spent on another ride( 七 句子和词语 在了解了英文作文的文章结构、段落写作这两方面的知识以及写法之后，考生 在写作中应该注意的第三个环节是句子和词语的写作技巧。 (一)句子的写法 英语句子的形成主要根据结构搭建，和以意构(根据意义、逻辑时间等顺序安排 句子) 为特征的汉语相比，英语的结构显得严谨。英语的任何句子都以主谓语为 主干，遇到从句，如果从连接词入手进行分析也会比较容易。我们在本教材的 第一部分列出的几大语法现象可以帮助考生掌握英文中的主要句子结构。考生 在写作过程中应力图避免我们中国人易犯的英语语法错误，注意，英语写作核 查清单就是对这一问题的。需要特别指出的是，在英文写作中，考生应避 免使用过长的句子。 (二)用词 英文写作中应注意用词的准确性和简洁性，要避免使用不必要的词或过时的表 达方式。 1(系动词的用法 系动词的用法要注意以下两个问题: (1)在英文句子中，不宜过多地使用系动词。例: Wordy sentence:Plant A is successful in terms of production( Improved sentence:Plant A produces well( Wordy sentence: There appears to be a tendency on the part of investment bankers... Improved sentence:Investment bankers tend... (2)在英文句子中，不宜过多使用形式主语，即it is,it was，there is & here was，this is, this was 等句型，例: Wordy sentence:It was clear to the manager why(( Improved sentence:The manager knew why.. Wordy sentence:There is no more space available( Improved sentence:No more space is available( 2(介词的用法 介词的用法要注意以下三个问题: (1)不宜过多使用介词 在写英文句子的时候，考生经常容易滥用介词。尤其是of这个介词。如果一个句子中 的介词超过了4个，那么就必须多加注意了，例: Wordy sentence:Central to our understanding Of the problem Of the organizational structure in the XYZ division Of the ABC Company is the chain Of command between the position Of the division vice president and the subordinate departments，because although all of them are under this office，none Of them are directly connected Up with it( Improved sentence:The organizational problem at the ABC company’s XYZ division is centered in the unclear connection between the division vice—president and the subordinate departments( (2)注意复合介词的用法，例: Wordy sentence: I am writing in order to list the potential issues in regard to the Russell account in advance of the client visit( Improved sentence:I am writing about the Russell account to list the potential issues before the client visit. (3)注意动词+ 介词结构的用法:，例: Wordy sentence: We plan to give consideration to the idea at our meeting. Improved: We plan to consider the idea at the meeting. 返回页首 The Translation of English and Chinese proverbs and phrases 在我们的翻译工作中， 俚语和谚语是一大绊脚石。我们不明白这些俗语的含 义，是因为我们和英语国家的文化背景不同。如果能在汉语中为这些俗语找 到对应的说法，问题就解决了。我们在这里向你介绍一些英汉合璧的俚语和 谚语，供你参考。 1.After meat, mustard; after death, doctor . 雨后送伞 Explanation: this describes a situation where assistance or comfort is given when it is too late.

Ever since the early 1980s, education on TV has been offering people the chance for an edu- cation. TV stations offer not only language courses, but also a number of other courses, such as trade, management, law, accounting, and finance. In fact, it has become a remarkable part of China' s education system. If there were no education on TV, we wouldn't have the present economic growth, as to- day colleges and universities are too few to train the large number of professionals who are now playing important roles in the nation' s various careers. It is estimated that one out of four pro- fessionals received some college education on TV. Therefore, the government should make the education on TV more available to people on the one hand, and improve the teaching quality and testing system on the other hand so as to satisfy the urgent needs for more qualified professionals. 2. Every person in the world has suffered failures in his or her pursuits. A scientist may have failed many times in his research or experiment. A student may have failed on demanding tests. An athlete may have lost many games before becoming a champion. To the strong, failure can be the mother of success, because they know that their pursuits are something unknown to them and difficult to achieve. There are not discouraged, instead, they will draw lessons from both their own failures and others' successes. In this sense, each of their failures is a step further toward their final desired targets. In order to succeed in our pursuit we should not feel defeated in the face of temporary failure, even if it' s hard to bear. Such confidence is a kind of force that carries us through. 3. A modernized society means it can offer the highest productivity and it has many well - educated people capable of advanced technology and management. That' s why science and technology are the first productivity. In fact, a nation' s education is the base for her scientific and technological capabilities, be- cause education is the sector that trains professionals on the one hand, and it conducts scientific research on the other hand. For example, there' s no university without a laboratory. There- fore, education and modernization are closely related to each other. In China, we have too much to do to enhance our education. To me, the first importance is effectively to improve the social and economic status of the people engaged in education. 4. Nowadays, ads generally are constructive to both manufacturers and consumers in China. With ads, producers can become more popular, as a result, they will receive more orders and contracts, and consumers can purchase according to what ads say. However, some ads are too deceitful not to be ridiculous. A case in point is a advertisement of a drug that declares on TV that the drug has become an absolute remedy for AIDS. It' s well- known that, in our world so far, there' s no official report of a discovery of the cure for the fatal disease. Actually, various consumers across the country complain of being taken in by such ads. In this light, governments at all levels should exercise more rigid examination of ads before they are shown to the public. 5. English is difficult for Chinese to learn. So I, like all the other English learners, have met many difficulties during the past seven years in learning English. But I managed to overcome them and made greater progress. The spelling and meaning of words can be said to be the first difficulty I met as a beginner. But I found out my own way now to deal with them. As to spelling, I never copied a new word again and again to remember it, but tried to find its relevance to the sound. In fact, so long as I can read the word out, I can write it out. As to the meaning, I rarely recite its Chinese translation, but often put the word into the sentence to learn its meaning. Moreover, if I often use a word, I have no problem with its spelling and meaning. After all, we are learning English in order to speak it, or to use it in other ways. Grammar and idioms may be another difficulty, but I have also mastered them. I have not read lots of grammar books. I know only some ordinary grammatical rules. But I spent much 感到"a sense of time reading articles written by native speakers. By doing so, I came to perceivethe English language." I began to feel which sentence is "good English" and which is not. Finally, I want to say that overcoming all these difficulties requires perseverance. Every day the past seven years, I have spent at least an hour on English. I believe this is an important reason why I am able to make progress in learning English. 6. The bicycle is the most common means of transport in our country. There are several rea- sons. First, most people are not rich enough to buy a car. Because a bicycle is not expensive, almost every family can afford it. Second, China has a large population and the traffic is heavy. The bicycle has the advantage of being small. A road, which can hold only two cars side by side, can allow more than ten bicycles. Finally, people like to ride on a bicycle to school, to work and to travel. It' s so pleasant and it does good for people' s health. Compared with a car, a bicycle has disadvantages and advantages. For instance, a bicycle is not fit for a long trip, but a car is. A person who sits all day in a car might get fat and un- healthy, while a person on a bicycle becomes healthy. A bicycle is so popular in China that it will remain so for a long time. So many things are to be done to make cars popular in China. Even when the time comes, bicycle will also be welcome. 7. Almost everybody likes sports. One reason is that sports provide us with an entertaining form of recreation. While participating in a sports activity, we can enjoy ourselves and relax. In addition, we enjoy sports as a social activity because they give us an opportunity to be with our friends. Finally, sports allow us to forget about our work and escape from the monotony of everyday life. Different people like different sports. For instance, many men prefer competitive sports such as basketball, tennis, and soccer. Women, however, often enjoy less strenuous activities such as walking, swimming, or dance classes. Older people usually prefer slower, more peace- ful activities like walking. As for me, I enjoy energetic, noncompetitive forms of sports. My favorite sport is jogging in the mornings. Several days a week I get up at 6:00 a.m. to jog about two miles. I am als0 fond of aerobic dancing, a popular form of exercise for women in the United States. These types of sports are beneficial in reviving my body and relaxing my mind. 8. Despite various improvements in all aspects of social life, the generation gap between the grown - up and young remains unbridged. Instead, it grows wider. Nowadays, the youths do not blindly follow what their elders say. Because of widespread e- ducation and the influence of western civilization, to a certain extent, they have a new code of philosophy, which is completely different from that of their elders. An invisible cold wall thus appears between the two generations. Modern youths are trying to be more revolutionary. They have their own interpretation for different matters; they also have their own ideals. They always introduce new changes. However, the old people, wedded to everything of the past, are hostile to changes and the generation gap becomes wider and wider. In order to narrow the gap, both groups should respect each other, listen to the words of each other, and discuss ideas patiently. Most probably, these may help to solve the problem. 返回页首 有些英语单词可以与pull 一起使用，它的汉语对等词就不能同 „拉?用。汉语有些词可以同 “拉”搭配，但英语里又不行。 Pull a tooth 拔牙 Pull in 进站 (车) Pull round 恢复健康 Pull together 齐心协力 Pull off a plan 努力实现计划 拉拉队 cheering squad 拉肚子 diarrhea 拉选票 canvass 拉倒 forget about it. 一、用词结构相同，意思相同 如:Emergency Room 急诊室 女朋友 girlfriend Alexander Fleming discovered Penicillin( 亚历山大?福来明发现了青霉素。(词类，语法作用，词序均同) They are now working against time to produce more oil for the country( 他们为国家生产更多石油而争分夺秒地工作。(用词一样，词序不同) 二、比喻相同，意思相同 如snow-white雪白 pitch dark 漆黑 黄金时代golden age He spent money like water( 他花钱跟流水似的。 趁热打铁。 Strike while the iron is hot。 三、形式相同，意思不同 由于两种语言表达习惯不同，多数情况下往往是形式相同，意思有出入甚至完全不同。以下例句译文A为形式相同意思不同的错误译法，译文B为正确译法。 1.compact disc A:密纹唱片 B:激光唱片 2. biological parents A:生物父母 B:亲生父母 3.

A:他高于在考试中欺骗。 B:他绝不会考试作弊。 4.You can't be too careful( A:你不能太小心。 B:你应该特别小心。 5。红茶 A:red tea B:black tea 6. 要注意策略。 ( A:Pay attention to the strategy( B:Be diplomatic( 以上各例形式对等，有的意思不清楚，有的费解，不知所云，有的意思错了。由此可见，形式对等在多数情况下照顾了形式，牺牲了意思，是不可取的。 四。灵活对等 由于两种语言表达方式不同，若将原文形式原封不动照搬过来，常常不能表达原意，或模 糊不清，或意义歪曲。这时必须采用灵活对等(dynamic equivalence)，即翻译时考虑的不是 词的对应而着眼于句子甚至段落的对等。在形式和意义不能兼顾的情况下，主要考虑意义，不受原文形式的束缚和影响，把原作的意思灵活地表达出来。如: You are wanted on the phone( 您的电话。 I have read your articles and expected to meet an older man( 看过你的文章想不到你这么年轻。 他把事情一五一十都给父母讲了。 True to type he told his parents the whole story( 他一开口总是三句话不离本行。 He can hardly open his mouth without talking shop. No operation is more fearsome to the layman than brain surgery, the invasion by cold steel of man's citadel of reason and emotion，his very“self?(This book，which is entirely factual(on names and places have been disguised)，describes one exploration into this complex and mysterious world( 对于一个外行人来说，没有比动脑手术更令人胆战心惊。—把冰凉的钢刀直插入人类理智与感情的城堡，捅进了人类的“禁区”!本书叙述的完全是真人真事(只是把姓名和地址作 了一番更改而已)。它记录了人们向这个错综复杂，神奇奥秘的世界所作的一次探索。 由此可见，灵活对等指抓住原意后不妨脱离原文影响，不受双方语言的束缚，既表达出原文意思又能达到语言自然流畅。只有这样才能符合翻译的要求。灵活对等又包括意义对等和风格对等两种。 四( 4(1意义对等 只要求思想内容与原文一致，在意义上没有增删更改的现象，叫做意义对等(equivalence in terms of meaning)。例如: Britain could not have advanced her industrialization so rapidly if， just when owners of factories needed it most，an abundant supply of cheap labor had not made itself available( 要不是正好在工厂老板们最需要劳动力的时候得到大量廉价劳动力，英国的工业化就不可能发展得这样迅速。 The heat that warms a body does not change either the weight of the body or its inertia( 热可以使物体暖和起来，但热不会改变物体的重量，也不会改变物体的惯性。 4(2风格对等 风格指写作特色。不同作者有不同风格。有时同一作者不同作品用了不同风格。有时同一作品，不同人物说话时用词不同，风格迥异。风格对等(equivalence in terms of style)指翻译时光是意思相同还不够，还要尽量保持原作风格，这是个更高的要求。以下例句中译文A是意义对等，译文B是风格对等。 1. A thousand mustaches can live together，but not four breasts( A:一千个男人可以住在—起，而两个女人却不行。 B:干条汉子能共处，两个婆娘难相容。((翻译通讯)) 2.海内存知己，天涯若比邻。 A:Bosom friends there are within four seas, Even the remotest regions are like close neighbors( B:A bosom friend afar， Brings a distant land near(((北京周报)) 1。 But Kino?s face shone with prophecy(“My son will read and open the books，and my son will write and will know writing(And my son will make numbers，and these things will make us free because he will know--he will know and through him we will know(” 基诺预卜未来，容光焕发。“我的孩子会念书，他要打开书本。我的孩子会写字，他知道怎么写。我的孩子还会算数。他懂得这些事情我们就自由了。他懂得道理了，我们也就会懂得。” 2。“Sometimes，”the doctor went on in a liquid tone， “sometimes there will be a withered leg or a blind eye or a crumpled back. Oh, I know the sting of the scorpion , my friend, and I can cure it.” “有时候，” 大夫油腔滑调地接着说道:“会引起腿部萎缩，弄得眼瞎，背驼的。蝎子蛰人的事我太清楚啦，朋友。我能把它治好的。” 单位名称的翻译 汉语的名称是十分明确的，如新华书店、百花文艺出版社、天津无线电联合公司、上海第一机床厂、光明日报、中国国际旅行社、 北京同仁医院等，他们的性质，什么业务都比较清楚。。 英语一个单位的名称往往不十分明确，从名称上看不出这是个公司，还是工厂或商号。如: Penguin Books 企鹅图书出版公司 British Airways英国航空公司 Garrard The Crown Jewellers 加勒德皇冠珠宝公司 New York Times (纽约时报) 有的单位名称从字面上根本看不出是个什么性质、经营什么业务的公司、商号。 对这种单位名称必须弄清楚后才能着手翻译。如: Longman Group Limited 朗文图书出版公司 The Boots Company 布兹制药公司 Arthur Bell&Son 阿瑟贝尔父子威士忌制造厂 Gieves & Hawkes Ltd( 吉夫霍克斯羊毛织品公司 The Guardian <卫报) 英译汉时可增加一些词使其意义明确，如以上各例的中译文。 汉译英时若按英语习惯翻译得简练一些，而不逐词翻译出来，这样 更符合英语表达方式。如: “中国国际广播电台”使用的英文译名是Radio Beijing，而不 是照字面译成China International Broadcasting Station。 “中国国际航空公司”使用的英文泽名是Air China，而不是照 字面译成China International Airline。 Answers to Sample Test Translation: A.

C. Writing: The Importance of Developing China?s West Several years ago, the Chinese Government decided to develop China?s West. This decision is very important indeed. Because for a long time, the economy in the western part of China has been backward, and the living standards there are rather low. On the other hand, the West has a large amount of land and rich resources. To develop the West will help China to become an advanced country in the world. Now there are good opportunities to develop the West. First, China has become stronger economically and will be able to put enough investment in the development of the West. Second, the policy is more flexible for the West to attract scientists and foreign assistance. Besides, the government has been greatly concerned about the West and is willing to offer support. These can be considered as good changes for the development of the West in China. In order to develop the West, we should first work out a proper development plan, and then attract qualified personnel and enough investment. In addition, the government should provide various policies favorable for the West. Finally, the people in the West should work harder. If what has been mentioned above has been done, the West will be well developed and will advance with the time hand in hand with the coastal cities in China..
