中国宣布首艘国产航母正在大连建造

　　国防部发言人杨宇军在昨天的新闻发布会上证实，一艘排水量5万吨的航母正在东北部港口城市大连建造。同时他强调中国始终坚持和平发展道路和防御性的国防政策。

　　"China has a long coastline and a vast maritime⁵ area under its jurisdiction⁶. To safeguard our maritime sovereignty, interests and rights is the sacred mission of the Chinese armed forces," he said.

　　杨宇军表示：“中国有着漫长的海岸线和广阔的管辖海域，维护国家领海主权和海洋权益，是中国武装力量的神圣职责。”

　　China has ramped⁷ up its naval⁸ modernisation efforts since 2012 as it seeks to become a maritime power to protect its growing interests. In recent years, it has been embroiled⁹ in territorial¹⁰ disputes with regional nations in the East China Sea and South China Sea.

　　自2012年以来，为保障不断增加的海上利益，中国加大了海军现代化的步伐。近几年来，中国卷入到了同东海和南海地区国家的领土争端。

　　Until now, the Chinese government had neither denied nor confirmed its carrier-building programme - partly to allay¹¹ concerns over its growing naval might, especially amid tensions with neighbours - though there had been leaks in recent years.

　　此前，尽管有建造航母的消息流出，但中国政府一直对航母建造计划不置可否，这在一定程度上减轻了对其海军实力增长的担忧，特别是在与邻国关系紧张的时候。

　　In January 2014, Liaoning provincial¹² party chief Wang Min was quoted in the Hong Kong-based Ta Kung Pao newspaper as saying that construction of a second carrier had begun and would be completed in six years, and that China planned to build four carriers in total.

　　2014年1月，香港《大公报》援引辽宁省委书记王珉的话称，第二艘航母已经开始建造，并于六年后完工，中国共计划建造四艘航母。

　　Experts say it is no surprise China is building its own carrier. Its sole carrier, the 60,000-ton Liaoning, bought from Ukraine in 1998 and commissioned in late 2012 after undergoing refitting, is over 25 years old and prone¹³ to mechanical problems. It is thus deemed more of a test model for building future carriers.

　　专家表示，中国建造国产航母不足为奇。中国目前唯一的航母是排水量6万吨的辽宁号，该航母在1998年从乌克兰手中购得，经过改装后于2012年末服役，已经超过25年的寿命了，容易出现机械故障，因此被认为更多的是作为以后建造航母的试验模型。
