I need to translate the following sentence:
"这个项目将为当地的经济添砖加瓦”。 Literal translation would be "This project will add bricks and tiles to the local economy." But it would make no sense. So I translate like this "This project will greatly contribute to the local economy." Anyone can tell if there is any fancier way of saying "contribute to"? I am looking for a more beautiful sentence. Edited by chenshujian on 22 September 2013 at 9:45am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Contribute to is the perfect word if you mean "add to".

OK, but is there another way to say it? Using some kind of expressions? like 添砖加瓦 :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Will give impetus to, will improve... there are many fancy ways, but contribute is fancy
