外文翻译 原文 Energy-efficient Lighting in China:problems and prospects Material Source: International management magazine　　　Author: Fu Min China’s choices of energy demand and supply technologies have a large impact on the world’s energy market and the environment. Of its 920 billion kWh electric power production in 1993, it is estimated that 15% was used for lighting consumption (~120 billion kWh). This figure is likely to grow as the country develops, and so improving the energy efficiency of lighting in China could have a tremendous impact on China’s energy consumption. This paper describes key components of the energy-efficient lighting industry from technology and marketing points of view. We identify a few key problem areas and their potentials for improvement.We identify a national savings potential of 40% by shifting to lamps with performance characteristics typical of current Western practice—but without changing the market share of various lamp types—and of 60% by adopting the best commercially available lamps in the West. With the world’s largest population and the fastest growing economy, meeting the growing demand for energy is one of the most important and difficult tasks for China [1]. Because of energy savings programs in the industrial sector during the last two decades, China is one of the few developing countries that has limited its energy demand growth to half of its GNP growth rate. However, energy production and use still impose significant economic and environmental costs on China. Given the ever growing economy, population, and standard of living, the current electricity demand and supply relationship cannot be sustained much longer. This nation of 1.2 billion people has the third largest economy in the world after the United States and Japan. Lighting is responsible for about 15% of total Chinese electricity usage. The ~120 billion kWh is equivalent to the output of about one hundred 250-megawatt electric power plants. Despite the enormous energ
