中國(guó)“免除”受援國(guó)“債務(wù)”
[ 2008-02-21 10:35 ]
中國(guó)對(duì)外援助始于1950年。在過(guò)去的幾十年,中國(guó)政府向160多個(gè)國(guó)家提供了援助。同時(shí),中國(guó)已累計(jì)免除49個(gè)重債窮國(guó)和最不發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家的374筆對(duì)華到期債務(wù)。那么,“免除債務(wù)”怎么說(shuō)呢?
請(qǐng)看新華社的報(bào)道:
China waived 374 debts of 49 developing countries in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and the South Pacific by the end of last year, an official with the Ministry of Commerce's foreign aid department has said.
據(jù)商務(wù)部外援司介紹,截至到去年年底,中國(guó)已累計(jì)免除非洲、亞洲、加勒比和南太地區(qū)的49個(gè)發(fā)展中國(guó)家的374筆對(duì)華到期債務(wù)。
這里,免除債務(wù)表達(dá)為“waive debts”;“waive”表示免除或自愿放棄一項(xiàng)主張/權(quán)利;
例如: If the result proves you are right, I’ll persuade them to waive the claim.
如結(jié)果證明您是對(duì)的,我將說(shuō)服他們放棄索賠。
