10日披露的國務院機構改革和職能轉變方案表明，新一輪國務院機構改革即將啟動，國務院組成部門將減少至25個。改革的重點是，緊緊圍繞轉變職能和理順職責關系，穩步推進大部門制改革，實行鐵路政企分開，整合加強衛生和計劃生育、食品藥品、新聞出版和廣播電影電視、海洋、能源管理機構。

請看《中國日報》的報道：

The overhaul, the seventh in three decades, will see the State Council cut the number of its ministry-level bodies from 27 to 25 while reorganizing several other agencies and departments.

此次大部制改革中，國務院組成部門由原來的27個減少到25個，另有幾個機構和部門也將重組。

文中的overhaul就是指的此次大部制“改革”。國務委員兼國務院秘書長馬凱表示，目前某些部門存在duplication of functions（職能交叉）, overlapping management（重復監管）, inefficiency and bureaucracy（效率低下和官僚作風）等問題,這會導致corruption and dereliction of duty（腐敗和瀆職現象）的發生。

下面來看看此次大部制改革的具體內容和英文說法：

1. 鐵道部“拆分”，實行鐵路政企分開。

Under the plan, the Ministry of Railways will be split with its regulatory powers going to the Ministry of Transport while its commercial operations will be run by a company.
