5月22日，第十三届全国人大三次会议在北京人民大会堂开幕，李克强代表国务院向大会作政府工作报告。以下是报告双语要点：

The covid-19 epidemic is the fastest spreading, most extensive, and most challenging public health emergency China has encountered since the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Under the strong leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, and through the hard work and sacrifice of our entire nation, we have made major strategic achievements in our response to covid-19. At present, the epidemic has not yet come to an end, while the tasks we face in promoting development are immense. We must redouble our efforts to minimize the losses resulting from the virus and fulfill the main targets and tasks for economic and social development this year.

这次新冠肺炎疫情，是新中国成立以来我国遭遇的传播速度最快、感染范围最广、防控难度最大的公共卫生事件。在以习近平同志为核心的党中央坚强领导下，经过全国上下和广大人民群众艰苦卓绝努力并付出牺牲，疫情防控取得重大战略成果。当前，疫情尚未结束，发展任务异常艰巨。要努力把疫情造成的损失降到最低，努力完成今年经济社会发展目标任务。

 

一、2019年和今年以来工作回顾

While continuing to advance epidemic control, we have also promoted economic and social development. With 90 policy measures in 8 categories, we have ensured stable supplies and prices and the resumption of work and production in a timely and effective manner.

在疫情防控中，我们按照坚定信心、同舟共济、科学防治、精准施策的总要求，抓紧抓实抓细各项工作。我们统筹推进疫情防控和经济社会发展，推出8个方面90项政策措施，及时有效促进了保供稳价和复工复产。

 

二、今年发展主要目标和下一阶段工作总体部署

This year, we must give priority to stabilizing employment and ensuring living standards, win the battle against poverty, and achieve the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all aspects.

今年要优先稳就业保民生，坚决打赢脱贫攻坚战，努力实现全面建成小康社会目标任务。

Main targets

主要目标任务

Over 9 million new urban jobs, a surveyed urban unemployment rate of around 6%, and a registered urban unemployment rate of around 5.5%

城镇新增就业900万人以上，城镇调查失业率6%左右，城镇登记失业率5.5%左右；

Accomplishment of the 13th Five-Year Plan

努力完成“十三五”规划目标任务。

We have not set a specific target for economic growth this year. This is because our country will face some factors that are difficult to predict in its development, due to the great uncertainty regarding the covid-19 pandemic and the world economic and trade environment. Not setting a specific target for economic growth will enable all of us to concentrate on ensuring stability on the six fronts and security in the six areas. Ensuring stable economic performance is of crucial significance. We need to pursue reform and opening up as a means to stabilize employment, ensure people’s wellbeing, stimulate consumption, energize the market, and achieve stable growth. We need to blaze a new path that enables us to respond effectively to shocks and sustain a positive growth cycle.

我们没有提出全年经济增速具体目标，主要因为全球疫情和经贸形势不确定性很大，我国发展面临一些难以预料的影响因素。这样做，有利于引导各方面集中精力抓好“六稳”、“六保”。稳定经济运行事关全局。要用改革开放办法，稳就业、保民生、促消费，拉动市场、稳定增长，走出一条有效应对冲击、实现良性循环的新路子。
