　　分析：

　　① 本屆會議將圍繞“新世紀、新挑戰：參與、合作、促進共同繁榮”的主題，審議 5 個方面的議題，以期促進亞太地區和全球經貿的發展。

　　譯文 1 ： This meeting will discuss the topic of “new century, new challenge: participate , cooperate and promote common prosperity covering 5 areas with a view to enhancing the development of economy and trade between the Asian-Pacific region and the rest world.

　　譯文 2 ： This meeting will center round the theme of “Meeting new challenges in the new century: achieving common prosperity through participation and cooperation” under 5 heads with a view to promoting the economic and trade development in the Asia-Pacific region and the world at large.

　　考點： 意譯：“新世紀、新挑戰：參與、合作、促進共同繁榮”如譯文 1 翻譯純粹采取直譯，把字面意思翻譯出來，而譯文 2 把這句話的含義翻譯出來，值得推薦。

　　轉性譯法：動詞 → 名詞 參與 →participation 合作 →cooperation

　　② 今年的亞太經濟貿易合作組織會議將主要側重兩個方面：一是加強亞太經合組織成員之間的合作，共同應對可能出現的經濟衰退，重樹信心；二是繼續推進亞太經合組織貿易投資自由化進程，推動世界貿易組織盡早開始新一輪談判。

　　譯文 1 ： The APEC meeting in this year will focus mainly on two aspects: one is on strengthening the cooperation among all the APEC members to cope with the possible economic recession through rebuilding up confidence; the other is on promoting the liberalization of trade and investment of APEC for the start of a new round of negotiations/talks for WTO.

　　譯文 2 ： This year’s APEC meeting will focus on two key missions: one is to strengthen the cooperation among APEC members in dealing with a possible economic slowdown to build up new confidence; the other is to continue to advance the process of APEC trade and invest liberalization and facilitation and urge the WTO to initiate a new round of talks as soon as possible.

　　考點： 增詞譯法：“一是加強” →one is on strengthening ，因為前接 focus mainly on ，因此增加 on 介詞。
