现在，越来越多的企业
These days, more and more corporations
在竹产业方面来投资
are interested in investing in bamboo.
我觉得我们未来的（发展）空间会越来越大
This will boast growth in future for the industry,
农民也会越来越富裕
and farmers will get richer.
在未来，我们会考虑增加更多的科技投入
So, in the future, we may increase R&D expenditure
然后去做更多的产品创新
and put greater efforts on product innovation.
去开发更多高附加值的竹产品
If we develop enough high added value products,
这样可以提高整个产业链的附加值
the whole industry's added value will be enhanced.
我们目前竹产业面临的很重要的问题
However, the most serious problem that we are facing now
就是随着经济发展劳动力的匮乏和劳动力成本的提升
is soaring labour costs and the shortage of labour.
因为现在的年轻人
It is mainly caused by the less willingness
（愿意）上山砍伐毛竹的人越来越少
of young people to be foresters.
所以说，产业面临着很大的问题
Therefore, how to solve these problems
那么下一步我们怎么来做呢
becomes our primary concern.
我们有几个方面的考虑，一个就是在竹林区修建林道，
Firstly，we can build forest roads, which can be funded
政府给补助，这样可以减少运输成本
by the government to decrease transportation costs.
第二个就是推广机械
Secondly, popularizing mechanization is another solution.
这样我们就有很大的机遇
We can learn from foreign countries
向国外（学习）研究砍毛竹的机器
and develop new logging machinery.
可以帮助我们在砍毛竹，修林道方面提供很大的空间
This will be a wonderful business opportunity
我认为这也是一个商机,给安吉机械加工企业一个很好的机遇
for enterprises in Anji.
在很多国家，竹子是一种被忽视的资源
In many countries, bamboo is a neglected resource.
他们并没有意识到竹子可以提供生态系统服务功能
People in those countries have not realized
保持水土，恢复生态，恢复植被
bamboo's effect on protecting ecosystems,
包括退化土地的恢复
conserving water and soil, and restoring vegetation.
在社会经济领域，竹子可以提供很多就业，帮助农户提高他们的收入
Also, from a social and economic aspect,
在很多国家，人们还没有意识到竹子在这些方面有巨大的贡献
bamboo industry can create considerable job opportunities
我们仍然有许多人对竹子缺乏了解
for communities and farmers.
我们需要做很多的工作去提高人们对竹子巨大潜力的认识
We still need to do a lot of work to help people learn
了解到竹子多用途（社会经济，环境保护）的价值
the potential and value of bamboo.
我们在探索把中国竹产品的加工方法，技术
We are willing to promote our bamboo technologies
推广到国外去,还有中国竹子培育方面的技术
to foreign countries, so that they can also
让全世界有竹子的地方都获得经济收益和生态收益
benefit economically and ecologically.
我想在今后的这五年,我们在这方面都会做出很大的努力
In the next five years, I will make a great effort on it,
我想也会有很大的成效
and I believe we will receive fruits.
我半辈子都在和竹子打交道
I've been half my life in bamboo
我做梦也没有想到我会看到
and I never dreamed that I would see
这个行业发展到如今这番样子
the industry become what it is now.
竹子从一种神奇的植物
It went from being just a wonderful plant
成为了一种神奇的产业，现在
to a wonderful product and now
还成为了治愈生态的良药
to a remedy for environmental challenges
这确实给了我莫大的希望。
and for me it really gives me hope.
10年来，我们都希望找到合适的竹纤维
In 10 years we hope we find the right fibre type
我们已经有合适的机器，
and we have the infrastructure worked out,
也有愿意合作的纸浆生产企业
we have a partner that wants to pulp it
现在，我们可以想要多少，就有多少了。
and that we can get as much as we need.
