The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) announced last Saturday that its board of governors has adopted resolutions approving seven applications to join the bank, bringing its total approved membership to 77.
亚洲基础设施投资银行（亚投行）上周六宣布，其理事会已通过决议批准7个新成员的加入，使其成员总数扩大到77个。
The approved applications came from three regional prospective members - Bahrain, Cyprus and Samoa - and four non-regional prospective members, namely Bolivia, Chile, Greece and Romania.此次获批的是3个域内意向成员--巴林、塞浦路斯和萨摩亚；以及玻利维亚、智利、希腊、罗马尼亚4个非域内意向成员。"More and more countries are signing up to become members of AIIB because they see how internationalism can promote development in Asia, with far reaching benefits for the global economy," said Jin Liqun, AIIB president.亚投行行长金立群表示：“越来越多的国家签约成为了亚投行的成员，因为他们看到了国际主义是如何促进了亚洲的发展，并对全球经济产生了深远的影响。”"We welcome our new prospective members and thank them for joining us in our effort to meet the infrastructure needs in the region," he said.他说道：“我们欢迎新意向成员，并感谢他们加入我们，一起努力满足亚洲基础设施的需求。”The seven prospective members will officially join AIIB once they complete the required domestic processes and deposit their first installment of capital with the bank.
这7个意向成员一旦走完国内必要的程序并将首笔分期资本金缴存亚投行后，将正式加入该行。The shares allocated to the new prospective members come from the bank's existing pool of unallocated shares, according to AIIB.据亚投行表示，分配给新意向成员国的股本主要来自于该银行现有股本池中未分配的部分。With 57 signatories at its launch in January 2016 and the approval of 13 prospective members in March 2017, AIIB aims to provide financing to address the infrastructure needs across Asia.亚投行旨在提供资金支持以解决整个亚洲基础建设方面的需求。2016年1月，57个国家与亚投行签约；今年3月，13个意向成员获批加入该行。
