希尼爾翻譯公司（www.marshallsfreshproduce.com）2016年7月24日了解到：US manufacturing giant General Electric has agreed a deal with Chinese technology and smartphone giant Huawei to help it improve production.

美國制造業(yè)巨頭通用電氣已經和中國科技和智能手機巨頭華為達成了協議，通用將幫助華為提高生產。

GE hopes that by connecting all areas within a production process via the internet it can improve productivity, lower costs and reduce emissions.

通用希望通過互聯網將一件產品生產過程中所涉及的所有領域全都連接起來，這樣就能夠提高生產力、降低成本、減少排放量。

It predicts that the improvements will help it to save $500m (381m pound) this year.

通用預測這一改進將幫助該公司今年節(jié)省5億美元（約合3.81億英鎊）。

Both sides see the concept as a key step towards "smart manufacturing."

通用和華為都將這一概念視作邁向“智能制造”的關鍵一步。

Shenzhen-based Huawei is one of the world’s biggest smartphone vendors behind Apple and Samsung.

深圳華為是全球最大的智能手機廠商之一，僅次于三星和蘋果。

Huawei’s managing director, William Xu, said it was "very pleased" with the deal.

華為常務董事徐文偉表示說，華為對這一協議感到“非常滿意”。

"The next ten years are an important period for the traditional economy to move to a digital economy... Companies can not cope with all the challenges alone," he added.

徐文偉補充說道：“未來十年將是傳統經濟邁向數字經濟的一個重要時期。公司不能單獨應對所有的挑戰(zhàn)?！?span id="y4mwsemgwi0" class="style52">

The move came as GE said that it still saw plenty of opportunities in China, despite the country’s slowing growth.

通用方面也有所動作。盡管中國的經濟增長速度正在放緩，但是通用表示說他們仍然在中國看到了大量的機會。

"Yes the economy is growing at a slower growth rate... (but) it’s the the world’s second-largest economy so there’s plenty of opportunity," said GE vice chairman John Rice, speaking in Shanghai.

通用副主席約翰·瑞斯在上海講到：“是的，經濟增長速度正在放緩，但是中國是世界第二大經濟體，因此這里有很多機會?！?span id="y4mwsemgwi0" class="style52">

China’s economy grew at an annual rate of 6.7% in the first quarter of the year, its slowest quarterly growth for seven years.

2016年第一季度，中國經濟年增長率為6.7%，為7年來最低的季度增長率。

Sterling boost

英鎊的促進作用。

Mr Rice also said the fall in sterling following the outcome of the EU referendum vote would boost the company’s exports.

據約翰·瑞斯表示，英國退歐導致英鎊大跌，而英鎊大跌將大大提振該公司的出口業(yè)務。

The US-based multinational firm is a huge conglomerate, whose business interests include everything from manufacturing jet engines, to providing firms with finance, developing software, and making consumer goods such as dishwashers and coffee-makers.

美國通用是一家龐大的跨國企業(yè)集團，該公司的業(yè)務領域包括制造噴氣式發(fā)動機、為公司提供融資、開發(fā)軟件、以及制造洗碗機和咖啡機之類的消費品。
