Jinping stresses CPC leadership of state-owned enterprises

them the most trustworthy and reliable forces of the CPC and the state.
要通過加強(qiáng)和完善黨對國有企業(yè)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)、加強(qiáng)和改進(jìn)國有企業(yè)黨的建設(shè)，使國有企業(yè)成為黨和國家最可信賴的依靠力量。
2. SOEs should also become
important forces to implement decisions of the CPC Central Committee, the new development
concept, deepened reform, major strategies such as the "going out"
strategies and the Belt and Road Initiative, as well as to enhance overall
national power, economic and social development and people's wellbeing.
國有企業(yè)要成為堅(jiān)決貫徹執(zhí)行黨中央決策部署的重要力量，成為貫徹新發(fā)展理念、全面深化改革的重要力量，成為實(shí)施“走出去”戰(zhàn)略、“一帶一路”建設(shè)等重大戰(zhàn)略的重要力量，成為壯大綜合國力、促進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)社會(huì)發(fā)展、保障和改善民生的重要力量。

5. Progress in SOE reform and
development should be the criteria for assessing performance of Party
organizations in SOEs, Xi Jinping said, stressing they should aim to improve
corporate profitability, competitiveness and preserve or increase the value of

習(xí)近平指出，把提高企業(yè)效益、增強(qiáng)企業(yè)競爭實(shí)力、實(shí)現(xiàn)國有資產(chǎn)保值增值作為國有企業(yè)黨組織工作的出發(fā)點(diǎn)和落腳點(diǎn)，以企業(yè)改革發(fā)展成果檢驗(yàn)黨組織的工作和戰(zhàn)斗力。

The
concept of the American Santa Claus originated with St. Nicholas, who was born
in Asia Minor in 280 A.D. He was known as a kind, benevolent man; indeed made a
saint because of his generosity.
美國人關(guān)于圣誕老人的概念源于圣-尼古拉斯，他生于公元280年的小亞細(xì)亞。眾所周知，他是個(gè)和藹、慈善的人；確實(shí)，由于他的慷慨寬大而成為一位圣徒。
圣誕節(jié)專題
In
honor of St. Nicholas, December 6 became the traditional day in Europe for the
exchange of Christmas gifts and the beginning of the holiday season.
為了紀(jì)念圣-尼古拉斯，按照歐洲傳統(tǒng)，12月6日就是交換圣誕禮物的日子，也標(biāo)志著圣誕假期開始
Christmas
is a Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. No one knows
the exact date of Christ's birth, but most Christians observe Christmas on
December 25. On this day, many go to church, where they take part in special
religious services. During the Christmas season, they also exchange gifts and
decorate their homes with holly, mistletoe, and Christmas trees. The word
Christmas comes from Cristes maesse, an early English phrase that means Mass of
Christ. The story of Christmas comes chiefly from the Gospels of Saint Luke and
Saint Matthew in the New Testament.
“圣誕節(jié)”這個(gè)名稱是“基督彌撒”的縮寫。彌撒是教會(huì)的一種禮拜儀式。耶誕節(jié)是一個(gè)宗教節(jié)。我們把它當(dāng)作耶穌的誕辰來慶祝，因而又名耶誕節(jié)。這一天，世界所有的基督教會(huì)都舉行特別的禮拜儀式。但是有很多圣誕節(jié)的歡慶活動(dòng)和宗教并無半點(diǎn)關(guān)聯(lián)。交換禮物，寄圣誕卡，這都使圣誕節(jié)成為一個(gè)普天同慶的日子。
在美國，圣誕節(jié)宴席上的傳統(tǒng)食物有填餡的火雞、土豆泥、越橘醬等。A traditional Christmas dinner in America includes
stuffed turkey （火雞） , mashed
potatoes, cranberry sauce （越橘醬） , and a
variety of other dishes.烤火雞不但在美國，在加拿大、澳大利亞和新西蘭也是圣誕宴席上最普遍的主菜。Roast turkey is the most popular main course not only in the
United States, but also in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.也有的人家不吃火雞，而吃火腿或烤鵝。Some families have ham or roast goose instead of
turkey.人們最喜歡的飯后甜點(diǎn)包括甜餡餅或南瓜餡餅、李子布丁和水果蛋糕。Favorite desserts include mince pie or pumpkin pie, plum
pudding and fruitcake.蛋奶酒是許多家庭喜歡的飲料。Eggnog is a
popular Christmas beverage （飲料） in many homes.在英國，圣誕宴在中午舉行，傳統(tǒng)食品有烤火雞或烤鵝、圣誕布丁、甜餡餅和葡萄酒。In Britain, Christmas dinner is eaten at noon, and
the dinner usually includes roast turkey or goose, Christmas pudding with mince
pies, and accompanied by wine.
圣誕節(jié)的重要傳統(tǒng)之一是接受圣誕老人贈(zèng)送的禮物。One of the most important Christmas traditions is receiving gifts
from Santa Claus.許多小孩子相信自己在圣誕節(jié)收到的禮物來自圣誕老人。圣誕老人是個(gè)快活的胖老頭兒，長著白胡子，身穿紅袍，頭戴紅帽。據(jù)說圣誕老人從北極附近的某地出發(fā)，駕著馴鹿拉的雪橇從空中飛到各家，從煙囪進(jìn)入屋內(nèi)，留下禮物。Many young children believe that the presents they receive at
Christmas are given by Santa Claus, who is a jolly, white-bearded fat man in a
red suit and red hat. According to the story, Santa Claus travels through the
air from somewhere near the North Pole in a sled drawn by reindeer （馴鹿） and
comes down the chimney to leave the presents.現(xiàn)在，許多國家，包括美國、加拿大、英國 和澳大利亞，都有圣誕老人把節(jié)日禮物送給孩子們。Today, Santa Claus brings presents to children in many countries,
including the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Australia.許多商店雇人裝扮成圣誕老人，傾聽孩子們的愿望。Many department stores hire people to wear a Santa Claus costume and
listen to children's requests.在英國，圣誕老人也叫“ Father Christmas ”。 In Great Britain
Santa Claus is also called Father Christmas.圣誕節(jié)前幾周，孩子們就開始寫信給圣誕老人，告訴他自己想要什么禮物。During the weeks before Christmas, children write letters to Father
Christmas and tell him what presents they would like to receive.然后他們把信扔進(jìn)壁爐的火里。They then throw these letters into the fire.他們相信，如果上升的氣流把灰燼順煙囪帶了上去，他們的愿望便會(huì)得到滿足。Children believe that if a draft draws the letter up through the
chimney, their wishes will be fulfilled.
