The economic growth of Spain will be less than 2%this year,lower

The economic growth of Spain will be less than 2%this year,lower than last year's 3.8%. Therefore,the government should take the lead in practicing strict frugality,said Jose Luis, the Prime Minister.
【正确答案】：今年西班牙经济增长将不足2%，低于去年3.8%的增长率。、原句是主系表结构的简单句，less than 2%在句中作表语，lower than...在句中作伴随状语，对表语进行补充说明。汉译时采用增译法，将last year's译作“去年的增长率”，因为英语行文尽量避免重复，常用代词等代替上文出现过的部分，而汉语为了表意清晰则不怕重复。
