Improving women's productivity can contribute to growth, efficiency, and poverty reduction—key development goals everywhere.

If longterm change in the conditions of women is to be achieved, the actions and attiudes of men must change, and it is important that men be brought along in the process of change. For example, family planning information campaigns should be aimed at men as well as women because it is when men and women are able to make joint informed decisions on family size, child spacing, and appropriate methods of contraception, that these programs are most successful. Likewise, problems affecting women are often closerelated to the social relationships between men and women.

这是一个并列复合句,两个句子由and连接。句架是:If…change is to be achieved, the actions…must change, and it is important that…。第一个句子的句首由If引导条件状语从句,说明…must change。第二个句子中,it是形式主语,真主语是that引导的名词从句。在从句中因为前面有important,因而that所引导的从句中的谓语动词应用虚拟式,be brought along=should be brought along。本句应译成:“如果要长期改变妇女的条件,男人的行动和态度也必须改变,而且在(妇女条件)改变的过程中男人改变态度是重要的。”
For example, many women's health problems are embedded in unequal gender relation in work loads, responsibilities for family welfare, and access to resources and decisionmaking; it is impossible to deal effectively with women's health problems through approaches that deal only with women.

这是一个并列复合句,两个句子由分号连接。句架是:women's health problems are embedded…;it is impossible to…。在第二个句子中,关系代词that引导定语从句,修饰approaches。句中embed当“被埋置于……”讲,此处引申为“根源于……”;access当“获得”讲。本句应译成:“例如,许多妇女的健康问题根源于工作负担、对家庭幸福所负的责任、获得资财和决策等方面的男女不平等,因此不可能通过单方面处理妇女问题的方法有效地解决妇女的健康问题。”
参考范文 Spring Festival, lunar New Year for Chinese, is the most important holiday in China. The festival with its rich and colourful traditions is celebrated almost in every part of China. To prepare for the festival, families usually give their houses a thorough general cleaning and decorate them with beautiful pictures hung on walls, papercuts on windows and Spring Festival couples on both sides of the door. Moreover, nearly everyone no matter a child or an adult looks especially impressive after taking a shower and having a haircut, both of which are essentially required before the festival. With the fresh and vigourous look, people greet the New Year. The traditional celebrations vary from place to place, but there are three traditions that have never varied thoughout the country. First, the New Year Eve dinner is a symbol of family reunion, all family members sitting around the dinner table, tasting delicious dishes in a dizzying variety and wishing the aged good health, young men success and children happiness. Secondly, people, during holidays, visit each other to express their good wishes. And finally, of all festivities, the lion and dragon dances symbolising happiness, good fortune and prosperity can be seen everywhere from east to west, north to south in China. As for me, I manage to return home every Spring Festival. I enjoy the dominant atmosphere of joyous family reunion, having all kinds of food over watching TV special shows for the holiday. It is so pleasant and relaxing that no other atmosphere can compete with it! I also enjoy visiting friends or being visited. It is really an opportunity to exchange as much information as we can and strenthen the friendship. Sometimes I also go to cinema or parks. Though I spend the festival usually the same way year by year it never loses its attractions for me. After enjoying this Spring Festival I am expecting the next one.
