從智能服務機器人到各種5G應用，各式各樣的產品在北京2020年中國國際服務貿易交易會（簡稱“服貿會”）上亮相。

Running from Sept 4 to 9, the fair was the first large global trade event held both online and offline by China since the COVID-19 outbreak.
9月4日至9日舉行的服貿會是新冠肺炎疫情發(fā)生以來，我國舉辦的首場線上線下相結合的重大國際經貿活動。

CIFTIS is one of the world’s largest and most comprehensive fairs for trade in services and has been held seven times since 2012.
服貿會是全球服貿領域規(guī)模最大的綜合型展會之一，自2012年以來已經舉辦7屆。

This year, the trade show covered culture, tourism, finance, sports, robotics, education and 5G. More than 18,000 companies and institutions from 148 countries and regions joined. Overseas exhibitors and guests mainly attended the fair through online platforms due to the pandemic.
今年，這場貿易展會覆蓋了文化、旅游、金融、體育、機器人、教育以及5G等領域。來自148個國家和地區(qū)的超過1.8 萬家企業(yè)及機構參會。由于疫情原因，海外展商與來賓主要通過在線平臺參會。

The fair included one comprehensive exhibition area and eight special exhibition areas. A special area for public health and epidemic prevention showed the inactivated vaccines and test kits for COVID-19 for the first time. Various robots were on display showing skills in cooking, delivering goods and performing surgeries.
展會包括了1個綜合展區(qū)和8個專題展區(qū)。新冠滅活疫苗與試劑盒在公共衛(wèi)生與疫情防控專題展區(qū)中首次亮相。展會上各種各樣的機器人還展示了烹飪、運輸、手術等技能。

Themed “Global Services, Shared Prosperity”, this year’s CIFTIS aimed to promote China’s new round of high-level opening-up and also the recovery of the global economy.
今年的服貿會以“全球服務，互惠共享”為主題，旨在推進我國新一輪高水平對外開放、促進全球經濟復蘇。

Despite disruptions caused by COVID-19, the growth of trade in services has injected new impetus into the economy, Xinhua reported.
據新華社報道，盡管服務業(yè)的貿易增長受到新冠疫情的影響，但仍為經濟注入了新活力。

In 2019, the value of the services industry accounted for 53.9 percent of China’s gross domestic product (GDP). According to a 2019 report by the World Trade Organization, the proportion of trade in services in global trade is expected to grow to one third by 2040.
2019年，中國服務業(yè)占國內生產總值的比重達53.9%。世界貿易組織2019年的一份報告顯示，服務貿易占全球貿易的比重到2040年預期將上升至三分之一。

As President Xi Jinping said in his speech to the Global Trade in Services Summit of CIFTIS via video on Sept 4, the service sector is “an increasingly important driver for development”. To overcome the difficulties the world is facing, President Xi called for all countries to work together, saying that “we hope to see more fruits from our practical cooperation so that people in different countries will all benefit from a growing trade in services”.
正如國家主席習近平9月4日在服貿會全球服務貿易峰會上的視頻致辭中所言，服務業(yè)開放合作“正日益成為推動發(fā)展的重要力量”。為克服全世界正面對的重重困難，習主席呼吁各國團結合作，并表示“希望不斷形成更多務實合作成果，使各國人民共同享有服務貿易增長成果”。
