一、英譯中：請將下列文章翻譯成中文。(20 分)The European Commission is taking action to tackle risks stemming from lowvalue imports sold via non-EU online retailers and marketplaces hosting nonEU traders.

Finally, the large number of packages being shipped and transported has a negative environmental and climate footprint.

一、英譯中：請將下面這段英文譯成正確、流暢的中文。        Research shows that trade openness can increase women’s incomes and consumption. Eliminating import tariffs raises the average real income for female-headed households compared with male-headed households in more than three-quarters of the 54 developing economies analyzed. On average, real income gains reaped by removing import tariffs would be 2.5 percent greater for households headed by women than for those headed by men. In countries such as Burkina Faso and Cameroon, this increase is equivalent to one year’s spending on education or health.        Opening up to trade therefore benefits women in developing economies because it expands the sectors where women work, reduces prices for the goods women consume, and allows firms that are more productive to grow. Increased competition generated by trade also makes it costlier to discriminate against women, which narrows the wage gap and improves working conditions for women.
