生态环境保护多重要，听习近平怎么说

President Xi Jinping said the country will fight against pollution and push ecological civilization to a new level during a tone-setting meeting on environmental protection that ended on Saturday.

在周六结束的环境保护会议上，中国国家主席习近平表示，中国将与污染作斗争，把生态文明推向新高度。

China will push for coordination between economic and social development and ecological civilization, Xi said when addressing the two-day national conference.

习近平在为期两天的全国代表大会上表示，中国将推动经济社会发展和生态文明协调发展。

Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, said the country will channel more energy into promoting ecological civilization and resolving environmental problems, backed by political advantages of the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC and the socialist system, as well as the achievements made during 40 years of reform and opening-up.

中国共产党中央委员会总书记、中央军事委员会的主席习近平称国家将投入更多精力到促进生态文明和解决环境问题上，充分发挥中国共产党和社会主义制度的集中统一领导的政治优势以及改革开放40年取得的成就。

Building an ecological civilization is of fundamental importance for the sustainable development of the Chinese nation, Xi said, noting that a great deal of work has been done since the 18th CPC National Congress to bring profound and historic changes regarding ecological and ?environmental protection.

习近平说，建设生态文明对中华民族的可持续发展具有根本的重要意义，并指出，自十八届中国共产党全国代表大会以来，已经开展了大量工作，为生态文明和环境保护带来了深刻而历史性的变化。

China has started to conduct central environmental inspections, carried out guidelines to control air, water and soil pollution, published its own plans to realize the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and is implementing a national plan to tackle climate change.

中国已开始进行中央环境检查，实施控制空气、水和土壤污染的指导方针，公布了落实2030年可持续发展议程的计划，正在实施应对气候变化的国家计划。

Despite improvements in China’s ecological environment, Xi said the progress was not made in a firm manner.

尽管中国的生态环境有所改善，但习近平表示，这一进程并不是以坚定的方式进行的。

Creating such an ecological civilization has entered a critical period requiring more quality ecological goods to meet the public’s growing demand and a period when China can address the top issues, he said.

他说，创造这样一个生态文明已经进入了一个关键时期，需要更多优质的生态产品来满足公众日益增长的需求，以及中国能够解决最重要问题的时期。

With the Chinese economy transitioning from high-speed growth to high-quality development, Xi said, there will be conventional and unconventional challenges and difficulties. “We must bite the bullet and overcome them,” he said.

习近平表示，随着中国经济从高速增长向高质量发展过渡，将会出现传统和非传统的挑战和困难。“我们必须咬紧牙关，克服它们，”他说。

Xi said ecology and environment are closely connected with people’s well-being, so he urged that work be done to meet public expectations.

习近平说，生态和环境与人民的福祉密切相关，因此他敦促人们做好工作，以满足公众的期望。

He said China must abide by the following principles to push forward an ecological civilization in a new era:
