提升城镇规划建设水平。制定实施城市群规划，有序推进基础设施和基本公共服务同城化。
We will improve the planning and construction of cities and towns. We need to formulate and implement plans for building city clusters, and work systematically to develop integrated infrastructure and basic public services within clusters.

这里的“水平”属于意义并不实在的概括词，即便去掉也并不影响句意，所以译文并没有单独译出来。中文写作时，经常会加上这类词以使行文流畅。类似的还有“局面”、“风尚”等等。

“有序推进基础设施和基本公共服务同城化”，翻译时改写程度较大，理解为 clusters 里的“一体化” integrated

城镇规划建设 the planning and construction of cities and towns
城市群 city clusters
有序推进 work systematically to

“有序”全文出现 6 次，有的地方取其“系统有序”之意，有的取“按照计划”、“逐步”之意：

① 有序化解社会矛盾 resolve social problems in a systematic way

② 有序实施国有企业混合所有制改革 We will take systematic steps to implement the reform of introducing mixed ownership to SOEs

③ 有序开工黄金水道治理 working step by step to launch major projects including upgrading the area’s major waterways

④ 有序停止天然林商业性采伐 work in a planned way to put a stop to commercial logging in these forests.

完善设市标准，实行特大镇扩权增能试点，控制超大城市人口规模，提升地级市、县城和中心镇产业和人口承载能力，方便农民就近城镇化。
Standards for designating municipalities will be improved, trial programs will be launched to expand the powers of very large towns and increase their overall carrying capacity, and efforts will be made to bring population growth in megacities under control. We will also raise the industry and population carrying capacity of prefectural cities, county towns, and hub towns to make it easier for people from rural areas nearby to gain urban residency.


大镇 very large town
大城市 megacities
承载能力 carrying capacity
地级市 prefectural cities
县城 county towns
中心镇 hub towns
城镇化（指人） gain urban residency

控制·····规模 bring ··· under control
这里也是一种常见的文笔技巧，类似还有前面的 put a stop to、bring in、bring about，其实里面一个大词都没有，读起来却感觉生动活泼，耳目一新。

市 municipality
A municipality is a city or town that is incorporated and can elect its own government, which is also called a municipality. 自治市

Municipality 在中国使用有些混乱，因为直辖市会用这个，很多地级市也用，和 city 在很多地方已经界限模糊。

发展智慧城市，保护和传承历史、地域文化。加强城市供水供气供电、公交和防洪防涝设施等建设。
We will develop smart cities and protect historical and local culture, ensuring it is passed on from generation to generation. We will strengthen urban facilities for water, gas, and electricity supplies, public transport, and flood prevention and rainwater control.

传承：pass on from generation to generation
这句中“保护”和“传承”虽然是紧挨着，英译时却选择分开译，应该是因为“传承”不像“保护”一样只需一个词就可以表达。这也是可以借鉴的地方。

公交 public transport
防洪防涝 flood prevention and rainwater control
供水供气供电 water, gas, and electricity supplies

坚决治理污染、拥堵等城市病，让出行更方便、环境更宜居。
We will ensure the effective governance of urban maladies such as pollution and traffic congestion to make transportation more convenient and improve the environment for urban living.

城市病 urban maladies
拥堵 traffic congestion

四大板块，是指要大力建设西部地区、东北地区、东部地区和中部地区，而三大支撑带，是指一带一路、京津冀协同发展，建设长江经济带。

统筹实施 pursue in a coordinated way

“统筹”这类词不好翻译，但也是公文常用词，全文共出现10次，基本上是围绕 integrate 和 coordinate、unify、comprehensive 这几个词来译：

① 统筹兼顾 taking all things into consideration

② 统筹多双边和区域开放合作 We will promote multilateral, bilateral, and regional opening up and cooperation.

③ 加强涉农资金统筹整合和管理 We will strengthen the integration and management of funds for agricultural development.
