1. 随着中国日益成为韩国的重要贸易伙伴，两国的联系从外交和贸易延伸到了教育领域。中国是韩国最大的出口目的地，吸收了韩国约四分之一的出口产品，同时也吸引了韩国超过四分之一的留学生。虽然在美国留学的好处之一是可以练习英语(对找工作的人来说英语依然是最重要的语言)，但韩国雇主对有中国经历的毕业生的需求越来越大。比如三星集团两年前说，具有中文语言能力的求职者会得到额外的加分。

【参考译文】With the increasing importance of China as a trade partner to South Korea, the connections between the countries are extending from diplomacy and trade to education. As South Korea’s biggest export

destination, China takes around a quarter of Korean exports and attracts more than a quarter of Korean students who are willing to study abroad. One of the benefits of studying in the U.S.A is the convenience of

practicing spoken English, which is still viewed as the most important language for job seekers. But the demand for graduates with experience in China is getting increasingly greater. Samsung Group, for example, said two years ago that job applicants with Chinese language skills would get extra bonus points.

China is the largest developing country in the world and its

population accounts for about 22 percent of the world’s total. For a long period of its history, China has been plagued by poverty for various reasons. In the mid-1980s, the economy of an overwhelming majority of the rural areas in China grew dramatically by virtue of their own advantages, but a small number of areas still lagged behind because of the constraints of their economic, social, historical, and natural conditions. The Chinese government, while working on all-round economic and social development, has nationwide implemented a large-scale program for

development-oriented poverty relief in a planned and organized way. With the main objective of helping poverty-stricken people solve the food and clothing problems. This program has gone a long way toward alleviating poverty.
