1.第一句中的定语“促进经济发展的”较长，故将其处理为后置定语修饰“重要政策”，翻译时，可译为现在分词短语或定语从句，此外“促进经济发展”是该项政策的目的因此宜增译短语aim at，译作aiming at promoting economicdevelopment 或 which aims at…。

2.第二句“自从…以来，尤其是…”为并列的两个分句，因此可考虑将其翻译为两个由since引导的时间状语从句 SinceChina adopted..., and especially since the special economic zones were...，注意 since引导的从句要用一般过去时，主句使用现在完成时。

4.倒数第二句的“为了解决地区间发展的不平衡”表目的，故将其译作目的状语in order to...。后两个分句可直译为and连接的并列句，但这样处理句子结构松散，稍显平淡，不如选“中国开展了…运动”作为主句，将“在引进人才和投资等方面给予…”处理为现在分词短语offering preferential policies...来得地道和有层次感。
