试译下这段吧
Chinese lenders are pluckier than their Western rivals. Sometimes this borders on recklessness. When Uhuru Kenyatta, Kenya’s president, wanted $4.7bn to build a new railway which the World Bank warned would never turn a profit, Chinese lenders backed it. The railway has since lost more than $200m. Often, Chinese firms are tough negotiators. Several have struck resources-for-roads deals, such as those worth more than $1.1bn in Ghana and Guinea, where the loans are backed by bauxite. A study by AidData, part of William & Mary university, found that Chinese lenders routinely impose unusually tough conditions to ensure they are repaid.
中国的贷方比他们的西方竞争对手更勇敢，有时候接近于鲁莽。肯尼亚总统乌胡鲁·肯雅塔(Uhuru Kenyatta)曾想要47亿美元建造一条新铁路，世界银行警告称这条铁路永远不会盈利，而中国的贷方对此表示支持。此后，该铁路损失已逾2亿美元。通常情况下，中国公司是强硬的谈判者。有几家公司已达成了以资源换道路的交易，例如在加纳和几内亚价值超过11亿美元的交易，这些*款贷**以加纳和几内亚的铝土矿为后盾。威廉玛丽学院(William & Maryuniversity)下属AidData的一项研究发现，中国的贷方通常会施加异常严格的条件，确保他们的*款贷**得到偿还。
