insighter Posted May 18, 2013 at 02:26 PM Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 at 02:26 PM Hi, I have to read policy news for work sometimes, and I can get a little confused with certain phrases. The sentence is I'm having trouble with is 对农村地区实行新增建设用地计划指标单列 and is part of a larger paragraph about land use document being published and passed down by the Ministry of Land and Resources. In particular I'm having trouble with the 计划指标单列 part. It's difficult for me to figure out whether 指标 means quota or index, I suppose you need to look at the context. Also 单列 seems to usually mean 'single file' but I've also found it referenced as designated, which could be more appropriate. Could it be, "[The plan] implemented expanded construction quotas for villages/rural areas. Here's the whole paragraph for context: 日前,国土资源部印发《关于下达〈2013年全国土地利用计划〉的通知》,要求统筹安排城乡建设用地,控制大城市建设用地规模,合理安排中小城市和小城镇建设用地,对农村地区实行新增建设用地计划指标单列。 P.S My general problem is that these long types of phrases that lack a 的, make it difficult for me to figure out what is the noun, what is modifying what, etc. I'd appreciate any general translation/grammatical tips for these types of situations too Thanks in advance.

BTW,As a Chinese,我也不知道“单列”在这里是什么意思……应该是一个专业用语,我猜是动词,“单独列出”(list separately)。 对农村地区 实行verb 新增建设用地noun 计划指标noun 单列verb Implementing the plan that new construction land planned target list separately (not sure) for rural areas。 大约是这么个意思吧……翻译的不好请见谅。 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
