"改革要与时俱进。既然中国足球改革已从过去的专业化进入到了市场经济的环境中，那么我们的设计、构架中国足球的体制、机制、赛制及青少年培养等多个环节，都应站在市场经济的规律上去考虑问题。如果依然将足球置于习惯的计划经济的理念之下，搞大一统式的管理，这显然违背了与时俱进的思想。同理，仍拘泥于按既定方针办的旧观念，为这次大反思定调子，当然也不会有任何结果。"

此处\"与时俱进\" 有 \"跟上时代的步伐\" 或 \"与时代的脉搏保持一致\"之意, 故\"keep pace with the times \" 更为贴切, 因为 \"time\" 用作复数有
\"时代\" 的意思.(请参照下面例句).

Thanks, Perry and Elizabeth.
英雄所见略同( Great minds think alike.)^_^. 我刚刚加上\"keep pace with the times\",就发现两位跟我想到一块儿去了. 一开始我想到的是\"时间\", 所以用了TIME, 后来查阅资料,发现应将它理解为\"时代\", 故定为\"times\". Cheers!

Dear native English speakers:

I sincerely hope that you can read my answer carefully before proposing a similar or same answer, assuming that you can read Chinese. From your comments on my answers here and there, I found that you don\'t even read Chinese. If so, how could you manage to do Chinese->English translatioln?

Pls. note: I said the above [此处\"与时俱进\" 有 \"跟上时代的步伐\" 或 \"与时代的脉搏保持一致\"之意, 故\"keep pace with the times \" 更为贴切, 因为 \"time\" 用作复数有 \"时代\" 的意思.(请参照下面例句).] earlier than anyone else here, i.e. I was the first one who proposed and approved the usage of \"keep up with the times\", and the exact time was: Sept 12, 3:04.59, 2002.\" Pls. check and confirm.

Yes, I am not a native English speaker. But, that\'s very thing I am happy about. You know why? Because I am proud to be a native speaker of CHINESE, and I totally understand the content of the source text.

One more suggestions: Read my notes in Chinese again. If you don\'t understand them, contact me at [email protected]. Good luck !

Sorry for the typos above, Golden view. 让洋人气得半死，也不想改了。

Means to be aware of new methods and trends, to stay abreast of things. For more references on its use, just Google the phrase.

Refer to the following sentence from "China Daily":
The congress will further mobilize the entire Party and people of all ethnic groups to emancipate their minds, seek truth from facts, progress with the times, be bold and creative, and strive together for a new development of the cause of building socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Sorry about the omission of \"the\". It shall read as \"to progress with the times\"

我不记得在那一片新闻稿里看到的了。
