習(xí)近平主席訪英期間，雙方將簽署超過300億英鎊（約合2948億元人民幣）的貿(mào)易投資協(xié)議，為英國(guó)創(chuàng)造超過3900個(gè)工作崗位。同時(shí)，中國(guó)政府提出的“一帶一路”倡議和英國(guó)政府提出的“英格蘭北部振興計(jì)劃”等，也都將為兩國(guó)企業(yè)在基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施領(lǐng)域提供新的合作機(jī)遇。

請(qǐng)看相關(guān)報(bào)道：

President Xi Jinping's state visit to the United Kingdom will see more than ￡30 billion ($46.41 billion) worth of trade and investment deals completed, creating in excess of 3,900 jobs across the country, according to the British embassy in Beijing.
據(jù)英國(guó)駐華使館的消息，習(xí)近平主席對(duì)英國(guó)國(guó)事訪問期間，雙方將簽署超過300億英鎊（約合2948億元人民幣）的貿(mào)易投資協(xié)議，為英國(guó)創(chuàng)造超過3900個(gè)工作崗位。

The visit will also open export opportunities for UK companies looking to expand into China and attract Chinese investment into the regions. The Northern Powerhouse will get a boost as China is expected to announce further investment into the region when British Prime Minister David Cameron and the president visit Manchester at the end of the week.
本次訪問還將為準(zhǔn)備進(jìn)入中國(guó)市場(chǎng)的英國(guó)企業(yè)拓寬出口機(jī)會(huì)，吸引中國(guó)對(duì)英國(guó)地區(qū)的投資。習(xí)近平主席將在本周后期與英國(guó)首相卡梅倫一同訪問曼徹斯特，屆時(shí)中國(guó)將宣布加大對(duì)這一地區(qū)的投資，推動(dòng)“北方動(dòng)力”計(jì)劃。

The Northern Powerhouse，國(guó)內(nèi)媒體多譯為“北方經(jīng)濟(jì)引擎”或者“北方動(dòng)力”計(jì)劃，是由英國(guó)現(xiàn)任財(cái)政大臣喬治·奧斯本在2014年率先提出的。

“北方動(dòng)力”計(jì)劃指一系列促進(jìn)英格蘭北部經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的計(jì)劃（a proposal to boost economic growth in the North of England），比如，增強(qiáng)交通互聯(lián)（improvement to transport links）、增加科技創(chuàng)新投資（investment in science and innovation）以及下放城市協(xié)議中的權(quán)力（devolution of powers in City Deals）等。計(jì)劃中的核心城市包括：利物浦、曼徹斯特、利茲和謝菲爾德，旨在以大城市群（urban agglomeration）為基礎(chǔ)，將英國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)重心從倫敦和東南部進(jìn)行轉(zhuǎn)移（rebalance the UK economy away from London and the South East）。

看了上面的介紹，是不是覺得這個(gè)“北方動(dòng)力”計(jì)劃跟我國(guó)的京津冀協(xié)同發(fā)展（integrated development of Beijing, Tianjin municipalities and Hebei province）有點(diǎn)類似？
