在去年十一月召開的中央經濟工作會議上，決定今年要實行穩健的財政政策和貨幣政策，這標志著實施已近7年的積極財政政策調整了取向。對于“穩健的財政政策和貨幣政策”的英譯，許多媒體都是用prudent fiscal and monetary policies來表達的：

1. A high-level meeting of the Community Party of China (CPC) held Wednesday set the tone for China's economic policy next year, declaring that China will exerciseprudentfiscal and monetary policies in 2005.

2. The policy shift from'proactive to prudent'fiscal and monetary policies was made 'to conform with changes in China's macro-economic situation and consolidate the achievements of macro-control,'

3. China'sproactivefiscal policy, in place since 1998, has resulted in seven years of world-stunning economic growth. Aprudent policyis the logical choice to curb overheating of the economy, maintain steady development and improve the efficiency of the economy.

4. China has begun to shift to aprudent financial policyfor economic development after having adopted a proactive fiscal policy for securing sustainable growth during the past seven years.

5. In line with theprudent policy, the Chinese government will cut budget deficit and public investment, reform expenditure structure and push financial reform while carrying out macro-control measures, he said.

“謹慎的財政政策”的說法在國外也能找到依據。例如，“謹慎的財政政策是新加坡經濟管理的重要特征。雖然有更大的開支壓力和較緊的預算，但我們必須保持這個謹慎的財政政策。”

那么，穩健的財政政策是什么呢？財政部長金人慶支出：“實行穩健的財政政策

中性是指有增有減，有保有壓，松緊適度，既不過快也不過慢，既不過高也不過低，這是穩健財政政策的重要特征。國家發改委宏觀經濟研究院副院長王一鳴說：“我理解的穩健是它既不同于過去的積極財政政策那樣的擴張，也不同于緊縮型財政政策那樣一種收縮，而是從過去積極財政政策的軌道上逐步地退下來，也就是說要逐步減少它的擴張力度。……經濟保持一種穩定發展的格局，既不過快也不過慢，既不過高也不過低。…… 穩健的財政政策并不是從擴張轉向緊縮，也不意味著對經濟支持力度的減弱，它的核心是松緊適度，促進經濟健康平穩運行。”

英語中sound policy的含義：Ifsound policyis to be formulated, the issues will be decided on the basis of three criteria: Is the proposed matterfeasible? (Can it be done?) Is itadvisable? (Should it be done?) Is itefficient? (What is the cost-benefit ratio?) The policy will besoundif those questions are answered affirmatively, or if a satisfactory compromise based on the criteria is made.

從以上的解釋不難看出，英語中的sound policy同漢語中的“穩健政策”是比較吻合的。因為它是以可行性、必要性和效益性這“三性”要求為前提的。

Asound monetary and fiscal policyframework has to be complemented by structural policies that make the economy more flexible and dynamic.

積極的財政政策和穩健的貨幣政策也可以帶動經濟的復蘇，而不是促進經濟的增長或發展，例如：

China'spro-active fiscal policies and sound monetary policieshave contributed to the overallrecoveryof economy. 實施積極的財政政策和穩健的貨幣政策對我國經濟的全面復蘇的促進作用。

順便提一下，在互聯網的語料庫里，Sound policy 的例子比較多，Prudent policy的例子比較少，而Cautious policy的例子則很難找到。
