改译：

Second，since the EU launched the first antidumping cases against China in 1979，it has opened 140 cases against China over the past 30 years，making it one of the most frequent users of such measures against China.

说明：

原译前置部分过长，悬念太多，读者可能不耐烦。修改后句子干净利落。本句中多处出现China，但似乎难以避免。读者也许会想到更好的译法。

原文：

尤其是近两年，全球都面临金融危机的艰难时期，中欧本应携手应对金融危机，共同反对贸易保护主义，但是，欧方却频频对华发起反倾销调查。

原译：

Particularly in recent two years when the whole world has been plagued by the tough time of financial crisis, China and the EU should have worked together to rise to the crisis and fight against trade protectionism, however, the Commission launched frequent anti-dumping investigations against China instead.

改译：

In the last two years especially，the EU has chosen to launch a number of investigations against China, at a time when the world has been wrestling with the financial crisis and the two sides should be working together to deal with the crisis and resist protectionism instead.

说明：

中文铺垫部分很长，译为英文如果仍按照中文顺序，读者可能一时抓不住要领，心里不耐烦。这部分后置，作为对重要论断的补充说明，也言之成理。另外，这部分较长，就说明也是相对重要的信息，放在句末这样的重要位置也不为过。

当然，也可以保留原文的叙述顺序：

This is especially apparent during the last two years. At a time when the two sides should have been working together to overcome the financial crisis and resist protectionism, the EU has chosen to launch a number of investigations against China.
