　　由于出口增长和进口减少，中国2月份的月度贸易顺差达到了破纪录的606亿美元。

　　Exports were up 48.3% year on year to $169.2bn, and imports dropped by a fifth to $108.6bn, said the country's General Administration of Customs.

　　中国海关总署表示，与去年同期相比，出口额增长48.3%，达到1692亿美元。进口额为1086亿美元，下降了1/5。

　　The growth in exports was well ahead of analyst¹ expectations.

　　出口额的增长大大超过分析师的预计。

　　China's economy grew by 7.4% in 2014, its weakest for almost a quarter of a century, and recent indicators² show signs the slowdown is continuing.

　　2014年中国经济增长幅度为7.4%，创近25年来的新低。近期迹象表明经济增长放缓还将继续。

　　Customs officials put the surge in exports down to a flurry of activities by companies to get orders processed before the Chinese New Year, which fell in the middle of February this year.

　　海关官员认为出口额激增是因为今年的春节在2月中旬，各个公司在节前集中处理订单。

　　"Affected³ by the Spring Festival factors, export companies in the country again rushed to export ahead of the holiday and only resumed working after it," a statement said.

　　声明称：“受春节因素影响，中国的出口公司再一次赶在春节前出口货物。这些公司要到春节假期过后才恢复营业。”

　　The surplus figure stood at $8.9bn in the same period last year.

　　去年同期，中国的贸易顺差为89亿美元。

　　But the Lunar New Year had fallen on 31 January in 2014, followed by a week-long national holiday, which meant it provided a weak comparison with this February.

　　但2014年的农历春节是1月31日，此后的7天是国家法定假日。这导致去年2月和今年同期缺乏可比性。

　　For the first two months of the year, China's trade surplus has totalled $120.7bn, following the $60bn surplus in January.

　　今年1、2月份，中国的贸易顺差共为1207亿美元，其中1月的顺差为600亿美元。

　　"We still see strong headwinds facing China's exports this year," said ANZ economists⁴ Liu Ligang and Zhou Hao in a research note.

　　澳新银行的经济学家刘利刚和周浩在调查报告中指出：“我们仍然认为今年中国出口贸易的阻力较大”。

　　Premier⁵ Li Keqiang on Thursday announced a lowered growth target of "approximately 7%" for this year, and cut the trade growth target for 2015 to "around 6%".

　　周四，李克强总理宣布一组低于以往的数据：今年的经济增长目标约为7%，贸易增长额约为6%。
