1.环境保护是中国的一项基本国策，是实现经济持续发展的一项重要战略。//中国作为国际社会中的成员，积极参加国际环保事务，努力促进国际环保合作。//人类在解决环境与发展问题上仍然面临着大量的难题，每个国家都面临着发展经济与保护环境的双重任务。//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而奋斗。// (2000,4)p181

China has made environmental protection one of its basic national policies,regarding it as an important strategy in the realization of sustained economic development.//As a member of the international community,China has taken an active part in international environmental protection affairs and tried her best to promote international cooperation in environmental protection.//Mankind still faces many difficulties in solving the problems of the environment and development.Every country is confronted with the dual task of developing the economy and protecting the environment.//China will,as always,cooperate with other countries of the world and strive fro the protection of the environment for human survival,for the happiness and prosperity of humanity.//
