英语六级备考阅读：美国众议院通过惩罚中国法案
The US House of Representatives passed legislation that would punish China for undervaluing its currency and harming the competitiveness of US manufacturers and exporters, in a move that could heighten trade tensions between the two countries.
美国众议院通过了惩罚中国的法案，理由是中国低估人民币汇率，损害了美国制造商和出口商的竞争力。此举可能加剧两国之间的贸易紧张。
China quickly attacked the legislation on Thursday as contrary to WTO rules and “a new move of the US’ rising trade protectionism.” In a statement distributed through state media, a spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce said China “has never undervalued the yuan exchange rate to gain a competitive edge.”
中国周四迅速做出回应，抨击该法案“不符合世贸组织的有关规则”，把该法案称之为美国不断升级的贸易保护主义的新举措。中国商务部一位发言人在一份通过官方媒体发布的声明中说，“中方从未以低估人民币汇率的方法来获取竞争优势。”
Although the bill’s fate remains unclear, since it still needs to move through the Senate and be approved by Barack Obama, US president, its bipartisan passage in the House by a wide 348-79 margin reflects growing frustration with China’s economic policies.
虽然该法案的最终结局仍不明朗——因为它仍需要得到参议院的通过，并得到美国总统巴拉克?奥巴马(Barack Obama)的签署——但该法案在众议院以348票对79票的大比例获得通过的事实，反映了美国对中国经济政策日益高涨的失望情绪。
