1. reform一词的搭配法

bring about reforms
carry a reform into effect
advocate/propose/urge reforms
'深化改革'在我国出版的英语报刊上常译成deepen reform. 一般说deepen做及物动词时常与knowledge, understanding一类词连用。'深化改革'中的'深化'就是'进一步'的意思,可译成:

further carry out reforms
as the reform further develops/is carried forward/is pushed forward
2.'改革开放'的表达法
'改革开放'可译成the policy of reform and opening up 或the reform and the open policy。切不可与the open-door policy('门户开放'政策)混淆。'进一步开放'或'门要开得更大'可译成reform and opening up went one step further; further reform and opening up.
'加快改革开放的步伐'可译成accelerate the pace of reform and opening up.
