| 军事改造 | armament conversion Change in character, form or function of the arms and equipment with which a military unit is supplied (对军事单位所提供的武器或装备在特性、形式或功能上进行改变。) |
| 土壤改良 | land reclamation |
| 土壤改良 | soil improvement Process of protecting the soil from excessive erosion and making soil more fertile and productive (保护土壤使其免遭过度侵蚀，使土壤更加肥沃，更加具有生产效率的过程。) |
| 地形改变 | landscape alteration Landscapes might change through time as a result of human activities or natural processes such as fires or natural disasters. Changes in landscape structure can be documented by using data from aerial photographs or satellite images, and new technologies, such as remote sensing and geographic information systems (由于一段时间的人类活动或自然过程，如火灾或自然灾害造成的地貌可能发生变化。地形结构的变化可以通过从空中拍摄的照片或卫星影像数据以及诸如遥感和地理信息系统的新技术得出。) |
| 基因改造 | genetic modification Inheritable changes produced by ionizing radiation, exposure to certain chemicals, ingestion of some medication and from other causes (由电离辐射，接触某些化学物质，摄取某些药物和其他原因产生的可遗传变异。) |
| 基因改造生物 | genetically modified organism An organism that has undergone external processes by which its basic set of genes has been altered (一种基本基因被外部过程修改过的生物。) |
| 天气改造 | weather modification The changing of natural weather phenomena by technical means (通过技术手段改变自然天气现象。) |
| 改装 | retrofitting 1. Addition of a pollution control device on an existing facility without making major changes to the generating plant. 2. Providing a jet, an automobile, a computer, or a factory, for example, with parts, devices or equipment not in existence or available at the time of original manufacture (1. 在现存设施上增加了污染控制设备而没有对生产设备做大的改变。2.为飞机、汽车、计算机、或工厂提供在开始生产时不存在或不能得到的东西，例如某部分、设备或装置。) |
| 改装旧工厂 | retrofitting of old plants Making changes to old industrial plants installing new equipment's and facilities for the disposal of gas emissions in the atmosphere, of waste water and waste material in soil and water (对旧工厂的改造，安装新的废气处理、污水处理和对流入土壤和水中的废料进行处理的设施或设备。) |
| 效率改善 | improvement of efficiency The beneficial development or progress in the volume of output that is achieved in terms of productivity and input, or in getting the maximum possible output from given or allocated resources (以生产力及输入资源为指标的有利的发展和进步的产出量，或从既定的配给资源中求得最大的可能输出。) |
| 气候改变 | climatic change The long-term fluctuations in temperature, precipitation, wind, and all other aspects of the Earth's climate. External processes, such as solar-irradiance variations, variations of the Earth's orbital parameters (eccentricity, precession, and inclination), lithosphere motions, and volcanic activity, are factors in climatic variation. Internal variations of the climate system, e.g., changes in the abundance of greenhouse gases, also may produce fluctuations of sufficient magnitude and variability to explain observed climate change through the feedback processes interrelating the components of the climate system (温度、降雨量、风以及地球气候的所有其他方面的长期波动。外部过程，如太阳辐照度的差异，地球轨道参数(离心率、运动和倾斜)、岩石圈运动、火山活动的不同，都是导致气候差异的因素。气候系统的内部差异如温室气体的变化，可能引起充分的巨大和变化的波动，通过与气候系统相互关联的部分的过程反馈，来解释观测的气候变化。) |
| 水质改善 | water quality improvement Progress in, or betterment of, the environmental condition and integrity of water (环境条件改善和水净化的进展。) |
| 水质改善基金 | Water Conditioning Fund |
| 火灾管理改进 | fire management improvements |
| 相改变 | phase alteration |
| 矿石土壤改良剂 | mineral conditioner Any naturally occurring inorganic substances with a definite chemical composition and usually of crystalline structure, such as rocks, which are used to stabilize soil, improving its resistance to erosion, texture and permeability (任何具有确定化学成分的天然无机物，通常是晶体结构，如岩石，可用来使土壤稳定，改进其抗腐蚀、质地和渗透性的能力。) |
| 社区改善计划 | neighbourhood improvement scheme |
