BEIJING - China saw major air pollutants plummet in 2017 thanks to a string of measures taken by the government to improve air quality, according to an environmental authority statement Thursday.

北京——周四，环保管理局在声明表示，2017年，由于政府采取了一系列措施提高空气质量，中国的主要空气污染物大幅减少。

The average density of PM2.5 in 338 cities nationwide monitored by the Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) stood at 43 micrograms per cubic meter last year, falling 6.5 percent year-on-year. For the period, the level of PM10 in the cities declined to 75 micrograms per cubic meter, 5.1 percent less than in 2016.

根环境保护部（MEP）监测数据显示，2017年国内338个城市PM2.5值为43微克/立方米，同比下降了6.5%。同时，这些城市的PM10水平下降至75毫克/立方米，相比2016年降低了5.1%。

The density of PM2.5 in Beijing stood at 58 micrograms per cubic meter last year, a year-on-year drop by 20.5 percent thanks to effective pollution controls, meeting the goal of reducing PM2.5 level to around 60 micrograms per cubic meter.

2017，北京的PM2.5值为58微克/立方米，得益于有效的污染控制措施，同比减低了25%，实现了将PM2.5值降低60微克/立方米的目标。

An air pollution control plan issued by the State Council in September 2013 ordered Beijing to reduce its PM2.5 density from 90 micrograms per cubic meter in 2013 to around 60 micrograms per cubic meter by the end of 2017.

2013年，国务院颁布了空气污染控制计划，要求北京在2017年之前把PM2.5值把2013年的90微克/立方米降低到60微克/立方米左右。

Last year, average PM2.5 level in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region was 64 micrograms per cubic meter, down 9.9 percent on 2016, while that in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta regions were 44 micrograms per cubic meter and 34 micrograms per cubic meter, respectively.

2017年，北京、天津、河北地区的PM2.5值为64毫克/立方米，相比2016年降低了9.9%，同时，长江三角洲和珠江三角洲则分别为44微克/立方米和34微克/立方米。

Shijiazhuang, capital city of Hebei province, though largely reducing PM2.5 density, saw its worst air quality throughout the year, while Haikou, capital of Hainan province, topped Chinese cities with best air conditions.

尽管PM2.5浓度已经大幅下降，河北省省会石家庄仍然是全年空气质量最差的城市，而海南省省会海口则是中国空气质量最好的城市。

Tackling pollution has been listed as one of "the three tough battles" that China aims to win in the coming three years, according to the Central Economic Work Conference, an annual tone-setting economic meeting.

中央经济工作大会在年度基调制定经济会议中，将污染治理列为中国将在未来三年取胜的“三大硬仗”之一。
