隨著中國(guó)市場(chǎng)的擴(kuò)大，越來越多的國(guó)家和地區(qū)開始把漢語教育納入中小學(xué)課程，以增強(qiáng)未來一代在國(guó)際市場(chǎng)上的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力。最近，英國(guó)威爾士政府表示，為了促進(jìn)貿(mào)易發(fā)展，威爾士中學(xué)將教授普通話。

Mandarin could be taught in Welsh secondary schools in a bid to raise Wales' international profile.

為了提升威爾士的國(guó)際形象，威爾士的中學(xué)將教授普通話。

The Welsh Government wants to establish the country as a visitor destination for Chinese people as part of its new strategy to boost trade.

作為貿(mào)易促進(jìn)新戰(zhàn)略的一部分，威爾士政府希望將本地建成中國(guó)游客的旅游目的地。

It is also looking to have a "Wales in Germany" themed year in 2021, and have an increased presence in EU countries.

威爾士還計(jì)劃在2021年舉辦“威爾士在德國(guó)”主題年，并擴(kuò)大在歐盟國(guó)家的業(yè)務(wù)。

International relations minister Eluned Morgan said she wanted to sell Wales to the world.

威爾士國(guó)際關(guān)系部長(zhǎng)埃莉內(nèi)德·摩根表示，她希望向全世界推介威爾士。

Welsh businesses sold more than ￡17bn of goods abroad in 2018 and at present 60% of those exports go to the EU, with Germany as the top destination.

2018年，威爾士企業(yè)向海外銷售了價(jià)值逾170億英鎊（約合人民幣1521億元）的商品，目前其中60%出口到歐盟，其中德國(guó)是最大的出口目的地。

But after Brexit, ministers want "to ensure that the European Union remains our strongest partner" as well as developing markets elsewhere. Its goal is a 5% increase in exports.

但在英國(guó)脫歐之后，部長(zhǎng)們希望“確保歐盟仍是我們最強(qiáng)大的合作伙伴”，同時(shí)其他地區(qū)的發(fā)展中市場(chǎng)也要保持強(qiáng)勁增長(zhǎng)，其目標(biāo)是出口增長(zhǎng)5%。

To make that happen, the Welsh Government has launched a new international strategy to focus on three areas - cyber-security, compound semi-conductors, and creative industries - chosen in part for their "resilience to Brexit" and because of their "global recognition as areas of excellence".

為了實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)，威爾士政府啟動(dòng)了一項(xiàng)新的國(guó)際戰(zhàn)略，重點(diǎn)在三個(gè)領(lǐng)域——網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全、復(fù)合半導(dǎo)體和創(chuàng)意產(chǎn)業(yè)——之所以選擇這三個(gè)領(lǐng)域，部分原因在于它們“對(duì)英國(guó)脫歐的適應(yīng)力”，以及“表現(xiàn)卓越，得到全球認(rèn)可”。

resilience [r??z?li?ns]：n.恢復(fù)力；彈力；順應(yīng)力
