参考译文:
1. Few concepts/ideas/notions have become more and more popular(gained more popularity/currency) among business people and politicians in recent years than the idea of the BRICs-the gaint, emerging economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China, whoses weight and influence is supposedly changing economic and political realities.
这里汉语的三句话译为了英语的一句话，结构更加严谨，更符合英语的行文习惯。第二句通过一个破折号处理为金砖四国(BRICs)的同位语，又将第三句处理为定语，这样结构变得十分紧凑。
2. A realistic solution to the increase of US trade deficit with China is for the US to expand its exports to China. We on our part have demonstrated the utmost sincerity and made our greatest effort by substantially increasing imports of farm products/produce and electro-mechnical products from the US, and placing more purchasing oders for needed American commodities. At the same time, we hope the US will recognize that China has the status of a market economy(recognize China’s market economy status), and lift its export restrictions on high-tech products(its restrictions on high-tech product exports).
