One of the pressing problema facing our nation(China)today is overcoming disparities in urban and rural income levels .
我们国家（中国）如今面临的紧迫问题之一是克服城乡收入水平之间的差距。

The two major challenges facing China today center on maintaining sustained economic growth and feeding its growing population of over 1.2 billion people with only seven percent of the world's cultivable land . Despite the monumental difficulties involved,Chinese people will undoubtedly exhibit their indefatigable resilience and achieve great success in both regards .
现在，中国面临的两大挑战是保持持续的经济增长和靠世界上仅仅百分之七的可耕地养活仍在增长的12亿人口。尽管遇到的困难很大，中国人无疑会表现出不知疲倦的活力，在两方面都取得巨大成功。
