2021中國企業(yè)500強 top 500 Chinese enterprises for 2021

9月25日，“2021中國500強企業(yè)高峰論壇”全體大會在長春舉行。會上，中國企業(yè)聯(lián)合會、中國企業(yè)家協(xié)會共同發(fā)布了最新一期的中國企業(yè)500強榜單。

State Grid Corporation of China topped the list of top 500 Chinese enterprises for 2021, followed by the China National Petroleum Corporation and the China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation.
國家電網(wǎng)位列2021中國企業(yè)500強榜單首位，中國石油和中國石化分列二、三位。

“千億俱樂部”企業(yè)增至222家

The number of companies whose revenues exceeded 100 billion yuan rose to 222, with eight of them reporting revenues of over 1 trillion yuan.
榜單顯示，年營業(yè)收入超過千億元的企業(yè)數(shù)量增至222家，其中有8家企業(yè)營收超過萬億元。

The revenue threshold of the top 500 Chinese enterprises increased by 3.28 billion yuan from a year ago to 39.24 billion yuan, the data showed.
2021中國企業(yè)500強入圍門檻已經(jīng)提升至392.36億元，比上年提高了32.8億元。

【詞匯講解】

Threshold本意指“門檻”，后來引申為“起點、開端、臨界點”等意思，比如： a high threshold for pain（痛點很高），the threshold of a new age（新時代的開端），individual income tax threshold（個稅起征點）等。

Combined operating revenues of the top 500 companies reached 89.83 trillion yuan in 2020, up 4.43 percent compared to that in the previous year, according to the list.
榜單數(shù)據(jù)顯示，中國企業(yè)500強的營業(yè)收入總額為89.83萬億元，比上年增長4.43%。

2021中國企業(yè)500強實現(xiàn)凈利潤4.07萬億元，比上年度500強增長了4.59%。

【單詞講解】

Rake本意指“耙子，耙狀工具”等可以用來把地面上的樹葉等輕輕攏到一起的工具，用作動詞的時候就表示“攏到一起”這個動作，比如：rake leaves into a pile（把葉子攏成一堆）。Rake in是一個常用的固定搭配，表示make a lot of money，除了上文中出現(xiàn)的rake in+金額以外，也可以說rake in a fortune（暴富）。

研發(fā)強度創(chuàng)歷史新高

The average R&D spending of the top 500 firms came in at 2.94 billion yuan, up 17.95 percent. The ratio of their R&D expenditure to operating revenues hit a new high of 1.77 percent.

民營經(jīng)濟體量更大實力更強

9月25日，由全國工商聯(lián)主辦的2021中國民營企業(yè)500強峰會在湖南長沙舉行。

拉閘限電 power rationing

近期，包括遼寧、吉林、廣東等地出現(xiàn)電力供需形勢緊張，一些地區(qū)采取了有序用電、拉閘限電等舉措。

Measures to reduce electricity use in factories are currently being enforced in 10 provincial-level regions, including the economic powerhouses of Jiangsu, Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces.
目前，江蘇、廣東及浙江等10個經(jīng)濟大省均采取工廠限電措施。

從8月下旬以來，多地出臺了力度不等的停、限電措施，主要集中在高耗能、高排放的工業(yè)企業(yè)。

Many companies and factories in Guangdong province have been required to operate on a staggered schedule in which production lines are allowed to run for two to three days a week. Household power use is not included.
廣東省很多公司和工廠啟動“開三停四”甚至“開二停五”錯峰用電，居民用戶未受到影響。

廣東省能源局副局長劉文勝表示，

The province's strong economic rebound in the recent months, price increases for coal and natural gas and soaring temperatures in the warm southern region that trigger spikes in air-conditioner use contributed to the power shortage.
近幾個月廣東省經(jīng)濟強勁復(fù)蘇、煤炭和天然氣價格上漲以及南方高溫致空調(diào)用電激增等因素是近期電力短缺的原因。

Power demand in Guangdong would continue to grow in the coming months, as September and October are typically the peak periods for industrial production. Factories usually attract many orders before the Christmas and New Year holidays.
未來幾個月，廣東用電需求將繼續(xù)增加，因為9月和10月通常是工業(yè)生產(chǎn)高峰期，很多工廠會有大量圣誕節(jié)和新年的訂單。

東北拉閘限電

Electricity supply problems have also resulted in blackouts for some household users in Northeast China.
電力短缺問題同時也導(dǎo)致東北部分地區(qū)居民家中停電。

【詞匯講解】

這里的blackout指由于電力供應(yīng)中斷而導(dǎo)致的一片漆黑，因此常用來表示“停電，斷電”，而“停電”更加正式的表達是power outage（英式英語多用power cut），比如：She keeps flashlights and candles handy in case of a blackout.（她手邊準(zhǔn)備了手電筒和蠟燭，以防停電），Storms caused power outages in hundreds of homes last night（昨晚暴風(fēng)雨導(dǎo)致數(shù)百家庭斷電）。此外，blackout還經(jīng)常用來表示因為疾病或喝醉酒出現(xiàn)“ a transient dulling or loss of vision, consciousness, or memory”（暫時失去意識或記憶），即“斷片、昏厥”，比如：He had a alcoholic blackout after the party.（派對之后他喝斷片了）。

Power rationing began in northeast China's Jilin, Heilongjiang and Liaoning last Thursday, and residential and urban traffic control use has also been affected.
東北地區(qū)的吉林、黑龍江和遼寧省從9月23日起實施拉閘限電措施，居民用電和城市交通控制系統(tǒng)用電也受到影響。

【詞匯講解】

這里的power rationing就是指“拉閘限電”，是指煤電資源供應(yīng)緊張的情況下限量供電。Ration這個詞可以用作動詞或名詞，表示“限量、定量（供應(yīng)）”，比如：petrol was rationed to five gallons a week（汽油每周限量5加侖）；during the war, no one was allowed more than their ration of food, clothing and fuel（戰(zhàn)爭期間，所有人的食物、衣服及燃料都定額分配）。

除了煤炭價格上漲以及經(jīng)濟復(fù)蘇導(dǎo)致用電需求激增之外，有專家表示，東北地區(qū)出現(xiàn)供電缺口還有其他原因。

Northeast China, where wind power is widely employed, has seen output slump recently due to unfavorable weather conditions.
東北地區(qū)使用大量風(fēng)電，近期由于天氣原因，風(fēng)電發(fā)電量驟降。

Meanwhile, coal supply is reserved for winter heating, resulting in short supply for power plants.
同時，煤炭儲備大都在準(zhǔn)備供暖，火電廠出力不足。

國家電網(wǎng)：強化全網(wǎng)統(tǒng)一調(diào)度

國家電網(wǎng)于9月27日官方回應(yīng)了此次全國各地發(fā)生的限電情況。

The State Grid Corporation of China said it will "go all out to fight the battle of guaranteeing power supply".

嚴(yán)格執(zhí)行政府制定的需求響應(yīng)與有序用電方案，全力維護供用電秩序穩(wěn)定；

It will improve emergency response plans, said the company.
