The summit is expected to focus on the global economy on its second and final day

The G20 summit in Australia has entered its second and final day with the focus on boosting economic growth.

Finance ministers from G20 countries drew up plans in February to boost global growth by 2% in five years.

The first day was overshadowed by anger with Russia's President Vladimir Putin over the conflict in Ukraine.

Mr Putin criticised US and EU sanctions imposed over Russia's involvement in the Ukraine conflict, saying they hurt the West as well as Russia.

On Saturday, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, US President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron all sharply criticised Russia.

The Kremlin denies that it has sent military forces or heavy weapons to pro-Russia rebels in eastern Ukraine.

There had been reports that Mr Putin, faced with criticism over Ukraine, would leave the summit early, but his spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said he would only leave "when all the work is completed."

The US and the European Union have put in place a series of sanctions against Russia since its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in March

In an interview given on Saturday to Germany's ARD TV, Mr Putin called for an end to sanctions.

"What is happening regarding the so-called sanctions is, first and foremost, harmful to the world economy, and to us...and runs counter to what we shall be trying to reach an agreement on at the G20 summit," he said.
'Brisbane Action Plan'
Plans to kickstart a sluggish global economy with a target of 2% growth by 2018 is "a pretty ambitious target" for many G20 countries that are struggling with recession or little growth, says the BBC's James Landale in Brisbane.

How that is achieved will be announced later on Sunday in the "Brisbane Action Plan".

增长和就业

澳大利亚总理阿博特表示,希望二十国领导人能借此机会,讨论如何创造就业,打击避税和加强全球经济的韧性。“G20是全球顶级的经济论坛,”他说,“我们在布里斯班有着很重的任务:增长和就业—这是我们的关注焦点。”
预计,二十国集团领导人将在此次峰会上,就今年二月达成的全球经济五年内增长2%的计划进行拓展。
从1999年起开始运行的“二十国集团”组织代表了85%的全球经济和75%的全球贸易。不过,一些抗议者认为,G20的议题和行动还不足以代表目前全球正面临的严峻挑战,比如气候变化。当天,超过200名的抗议者在场外就此做出抗议。

Analysis

In my last post, I focus on the recontextralisation and mode of presentation, so I would like to focus on the translation and transliteration in this post

For translation, Brisbane G20 is translate to  20国峰会, in the English version , Brisbane refer to a place where G20 was held. However, in the chinese version 20国峰会, it did not put an emphasis on where the meeting held. Maybe for the chinese reader, if the conference is not take place in China, they wouldn't consider where it held. Hence, its translation just ignore it.

For transliteration, it was found in the name and the place where the meaning of it could not transfer by explanation such as Putin,阿博特, Stephen Harper,Brisbane etc.
