本文是金融时报文章’ 中国对美国财长访华意向表示欢迎’ 中翻英练习，原文为’China and US poised for fresh trade talks’。整理成果如下：
地道说法
- 落实这些举措follow through
- 屈从于美国要求yielding to US demand
文法
- 注意the US和US的区别，前者当国家称呼，好似China的用法，后者当形容词，如US demand、US companies。
- sanction 当动词是：批准，认可，准许，如to sanction intervention
- sanctions 当名词后面加on
- praise noun [ U ]不可数，请注意，如won widespread praise
词意
- pledge与promise有差，国家级别的承诺、正式的承诺，要用pledge
