Once, when Japan faced pressure from abroad, it would either give in reluctantly or keep quiet and hope that the fuss would die down. No longer, it seems. The Clinton administration strongly believes in exerting such pressure. Its policy is to open some Japanese markets (which it deems to be closed) by setting import targets—an approach to trade policy that supporters call “results-oriented”. This ugly term foreshadows uncertain consequences. Far from capitulating to this new thrust要点，目标of American trade policy, Japan is taking a stand that could lead to a trans-pacific confrontation.从前，日本面对外来压力时，或者勉强屈服，或者保持沉默，并希望这种压力逐渐消失。

That means consumers are likely to have more money to spend on Asian goods. The bad news is that EU trade officials, under pressure from increasingly strident industry groups, are tightening the screws on Asian imports. These include cars, TV sets, textiles and footwear. The trade friction contrasts with recent efforts by the EU to improve its diplomatic ties with Asia.2.While most people think of Hong Kong as a small market, it is, in fact, the largest export market for U. S. shell eggs. In 1985, the United States exported over 7 million dozen shell eggs valued at＄ 4 million for food use in Hong Kong. That market alone accounted for half of the volume and 40 per cent of the value of total U. S. exports of shell eggs for food use. Hong Kong consumers enjoy a variety of shell eggs, including fresh hen and duck eggs, dyed eggs for special occasions, eggs cooked in salt or tea leaves, pigeon eggs and preserved duck eggs. Fresh hen eggs, however, are the most popular item.3.Major projects outside the oil and gas sector in Abu Dhabi(阿布扎比) appear to be on hold. This applies to the Lulu island development and the third crossing project, for which tenders have been invited three times, although the prospects for medium-size infrastructure projects in Abu Dhabi are reasonable. “Look where the money is coming from, what really matters is oil and gas, " a consultant says. The consensus is that these other projects will materialize; they are just not top priority at the moment.4．Yet in its current dour mood, Europe risks almost overlooking the revolutionary step forward it has taken in creating the world’s largest and wealthiest barrier-free market—and on a continent where, for centuries, economic battles have led to some of hist ory’s bloodiest wars. Moreover, a failure to reinforce the single market by pushing forward with European integration could lead to an unraveling of what the internal market program has achieved, some observers say.然而在目前抑郁的情绪中，欧洲几乎冒险忽视了那种前进的革命性步伐，它曾以那种步伐创立了世界上最大的、最富有的自由市场——在一个大洲，那里几个世纪以来经济上的争斗已经导致了一些历史上最血腥的战争。

Lesson 4 The Economic Scene: A Global Perspective(Excerpts)In 1991,for the second year in a row, the economies of low-income and middle-income countries virtually stagnated, as measured by an increase in per capita gross domestic product (GDP). Aggregate output for developing countries advanced by slightly less than 2 per cent during 1991 (similar to the weak performance of 1990), implying an easing in per capita income of 0.1 per cent.Aggregate statistics for 1991 were influenced by the sharp decline in output in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as by the adverse effects of the Gulf crisis on several economies in the Middle East. Excluding Central and Eastern Europe, growth in developing countries in 1991 was 3.4 per cent, compared with 3.8 per cent during the 1980s. Estimates of GDP growth by major geographic region show an acceleration in Latin America and in sub-Saharan Africa; an increase in China’s growth rate helped to sustain high rates of growth in the East Asia region.International conditions for growth in developing countries deteriorated in 1991. The seven major industrial countries (the G-7) experienced a significant slowdown in GDP growth—from 2.8 per cent in 1990 to 1.9 per cent during 1991 as recession gripped Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States and growth rates slowed in continental Europe and Japan. In important respects, the slowdown was different from those that occurred during the 1970s and 1980s. Rather than reflecting the effect of disinflationary policies, weakness in demand was more closely related to the loss of momentum that had built up during the long period of expansion that began in 1983. In addition, a common factor underlying the slowdown in many industrial countries was the cyclical deceleration in investment spending.Although the weakness in demand in the United States led to a sharp decline in short-term dollar interest rates—a positive development for many developing countries—it also contributed to a drop of over 6 per cent in non-oil commodity prices and to a slackening, to 3 per cent, in the growth of world trade. These trends were compounded by worsening economic conditions in the Soviet Union and its successor states, where a growing shortage of foreign exchange led to a compression of imports from Eastern Europe and an acceleration of certain commodity exports (aluminum, gold and lead, for instance) to earn hard currencies.Against this deteriorating global background, the improvement in economic performance in a few developing regions in 1991—which carried over in 1992—was especially noteworthy. This improvement is attributable, in part, to the implementation by many governments of measures to stabilize their economies and restructure incentives to encourage private initiative and international trade. Policy reforms in Latin America helped to moderate inflation and domestic demand; East Asian economics, supported by growth in export volume in the range of 10 per cent and by robust domestic demand, continued to grow rapidly. Sub-Saharan Africa raised its real GDP growth rate from 1.3 per cent in 1990 to 2.4 per cent in 1991.Also noteworthy was the implementation by the Paris Club of a new menu of enhanced concessions in debt reschedulings for the severely indebted, low-income countries. The menu was introduced in agreements with Benin and Nicaragua, and was subsequently applied in agreements with Bolivia and Tanzania. Nonconcessional but special extended rescheduling terms were alsoaccorded to ten severely indebted middle-income countries.In the commodity market, prices of all major categories declined in 1991. The index of non-oil primary commodity prices in nominal dollar terms decline for the third consecutive year, and the index in real terms hit an all-time low. Growth in the volume of world trade in constant dollar terms declined from 5 per cent in 1990 to 3 per cent in 1991, mainly the result of the slowdown in industrial countries’ import demand. There were no breakthroughs in the Uruguay Round of GATT negotiations on key elements, and the outcome remains in doubt.In matters relating to the environment, the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, held in June 1992 in Rio de Janeiro, produced an “Earth Charter,” or declaration of basic principles for the conduct of nations and peoples with respect to environment and development; agreements on specific legal measures, including conventions on climate change and biodiversity, and principles for a framework agreement on forests; and an agenda for action (“Agenda 21”), establishing the environmental work program agreed by the international community for the period beyond 1992 and into the twenty-first century.Major Industrial CountriesGrowth in the G-7 countries decelerated from 2.8 per cent in 1990 to 1.9 per cent in 1991 (see Table 1). The broad trend was the outcome of largely unexpected setbacks to recovery in the United States and the United Kingdom and the apparent onset of a slower period of economic growth in Japan and Germany. A cyclical slowdown of investment was apparently a major component of the slowdown: Investment decelerated or fell during 1991 in all the G-7 countries. In Japan, the cyclical slowing of investment was probably the dominant factor in weaker growth, but a slump in construction of rental housing and the fading of a tax-cut-induced boom in auto sales also contributed. In Germany, the role of investment was dominant, as well. Unification further boosted investment, which then appeared to diminish, as expectations of profitability were dampened by higher wages and high short-term nominal and real interest rates. Upward pressures on wages and interest rates generally dampened economic activity in Germany during 1991. The special factor there was the pressure on interest rates that a rose from the financing of unification and from anti-inflationary monetary policy. Inflation as measured by the GDP deflator slackened in most of the G-7 countries. It continued to decelerate in North America and edged down in Japan. The record in Europe was mixed, however, inflation eased somewhat in Italy and in the smaller economies such as Spain and Portugal, but accelerated by about one half of a percentage point in the United Kingdom (the result of statistical anomalies) and by more than a point in Germany.The slowdown of the industrial countries in 1991 partly originated in structural problems inherited from the 1980s. Slower growth in Europe in 1991 revealed that unemployment, for instance, was still a structurally problematic area. The unemployment rate in the four largest European economies was 7.8 per cent in 1990, near the peak of the business cycle, and rose to 8.3 per cent in 1991. Financial stress brought on by excessive debt in the household and corporate sectors was an example of another kind of structural problem, in particular for the economies of Japan and the United States. Financial institutions in these two countries adopted more conservative lending policies, curtailing financing of higher-risk projects such as commercial construction and highly leveraged corporate transactions. A number of weaker institutions were also consolidated through bankruptcy, merger and reorganization. These developments played some part in the general tightening of credit during 1991, which may have helped to slow the paceof investment in the United States and Japan. Weak growth of credit and a fall in some asset prices probably slowed consumption, as well.A notable development in 1991 was a narrowing of current-account imbalances of most major industrial countries (see Table 2): The U.S. current-account deficit moved to near balance (only 0.2 per cent of gross domestic product). The trade component of the deficit narrowed as lower inflation and earlier dollar depreciation improved competitiveness, while the transfers component moved into substantial surplus because of war-related payments. Moreover, there was a remarkable swing in the German current account—from a surplus equivalent to 3.2 per cent of GDP in 1990 to a deficit of 1.3 per cent. A continuation of the surge of imports that followed unification, as well as the earlier appreciation of the deutsche mark, contributed to the swing. The Japanese surplus on current account rose from 1.2 per cent of gross domestic product in 1990 to 2.1 per cent in 1991.Several important developments in monetary conditions also took place in 1991. Reflecting more accommodative monetary policy, nominal short-term interest rates fell in the United States and Japan (see Figure 1). In contrast, the increase in German nominal short-term interest rates to postwar highs narrowed the potential of some European Monetary System partners to reduce their rates. The German short-term real interest rate also rose relative to real interest rates in the United States and Japan (see Figure 2). The slope of the Japanese yield curve became less negative and the United States’ curve more positive as short-term interest rates fell more quickly than long-term rates in countries declined by 2 per cent.The influence of the Gulf crisis, including the spike in oil prices and dislocations in the Middle East, was widespread; the effects of the crisis on Iraq and Yugoslavia(these two countries alone account for some 4 per cent of developing countries’aggregate GDP) resulted in steep declines in output.Structural transformation and the collapse of trade with the Soviet Union and its successor states combined to induce a deep recession in most of Central and EasternEurope, while the sharp compression of imports by the Soviet Union adverselyaffected its other trading partners (such as India).Weakness of policy implementation affected economic performance in a number of countries.Aggregate statistics for 1991 were dominated by the sharp decline in output in Central and Eastern Europe and by the severely adverse effects of the Gulf crisis on the economies of Middle Eastern countries. Estimates of GDP by major geographic region reveal that growth of output accelerated in Latin America and in sub-Saharan Africa, while a pick-up in China helped sustain Asian activity. Despite a sharp slowdown in India, where GDP growth fell from 5.5 per cent in 1990 to 2.5 per cent, the population-weighted growth rate of developing countries’ GDP—3.5 per cent in 1991—continued to exceed the ordinary measure.Despite the slowdown in the industrial countries—particularly in the United States—improvements in economic performance in Latin America were widespread. The region’s GDP rose by 3.0 per cent in 1991, thus reversing the slide in annual per capita income that had taken place over the past decade. Growth rates were in excess of 4 per cent in Argentina, Chile, and Mexico and reached a high of 9.1 per cent in V enezuela. Policy reforms covering fiscal adjustment, trade and investment liberalization, the financial sector, and public-enterprise restructuring and privatization, supported by debt restructuring, have helped to moderate inflationin the region and strengthen domestic demand. Chile has now been growing at an average annual rate of 4.5 percentage points for the past six years, and since 1989 Mexico has been enjoying a broad-based expansion at rates of 3 per cent to 4 per cent a year. Recent major policy steps undertaken in Argentina have brought a recovery in confidence and growth, and a reflow of capital to a number of countries in the form of foreign direct investment and portfolio investment suggests an increased level of market confidence in the progress achieved to date.Growth in output in East Asia, supported by continued vibrant performance of the region’s exports, as well as by a firming of domestic demand, particularly in China, accelerated to about 6.8 per cent in 1991. The sharp acceleration of GDP growth in China, from 4.5 per cent to over 6 per cent, was supported by improvements in industrial output, higher levels of consumer spending, and significant gains in the export of manufactures. Despite the slowdown in industrial-country markets, export volumes for the group of East Asian countries advanced at double-digit rates, implying gains in market share. A moderate slackening in GDP growth from the rapid 9 per cent-to-10 per cent gains of 1990 occurred in the dynamic economies of the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, and Thailand, in part reflecting a catch-up of imports. The major risk facing this highly trade-oriented region is the potential for sluggishness or disruption in world-trade flows. Economic weakness in some of the region’s traditional export markets has underlined the importance of market diversification, including a further strengthening of ties within the region. Increasingly buoyant intra-regional trade in East Asia may be viewed as evidence of an ongoing process of “market-oriented” regional integration, a development that could partially offset lackluster progress in the area of multilateral trade agreements.The GDP growth rate in 1991 of the South Asia region was 2.8 per cent, down from 5.6 per cent in 1990. The decline was partly caused by India’s reining in of its budget deficit and the short-term effects of the implementation of strong emergency stabilization measures, which, coupled with the collapse of the Soviet market and recession in the U.S., contributed to a sharp slowdown in industrial activity and exports. The emergency measures included a severe compression of imports, tight credit policies and exchange-rate devaluation.Output in the Middle East and North Africa region grew weakly at 0.8 per cent in 1991, reflecting the shocks from the Gulf crisis. Petroleum-price declines reduced revenues in oil-exporting countries, and many countries in the region were adversely affected by declines in workers’ remittances and tourism revenues, as well as by the need to increase social spending in support of workers repatriated from Iraq and the Gulf countries.In Europe and Central Asia, GDP contracted by about 7 per cent, as stabilization and reform programs in several countries had not yet led to a bottoming-out in their economies. Average output of the Central and East European economies, including Y ugoslavia, is estimated to have dropped by 14 per cent, following a decline of 8.7 per cent in 1990. Estimates of economic decline among the five reforming economies in this region range from 7.5 per cent in Hungary to 26 per cent in Bulgaria. However, efforts to liberalize imports and diversify exports—which followed the disbanding of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CMEA) trading block—led to strong growth in trade between Eastern Europe and the industrialized countries.Growth accelerated in sub-Saharan Africa to 2.4 per cent in 1991, in part the result of the indire ct stimulation of Nigeria’s economy by the Gulf crisis, not only through temporarily higher oil prices but also through its success in exploiting new oilfields quickly. For the past five years, the prices of nonoil commodities exported by most West African countries (robusta coffee andcocoa, for example) have fared worse than those that are particularly important for East and Southern Africa countries (mild arabica coffee and copper, for example). Such sustained losses in terms of trade have contributed to growth performance in West Africa that is poorer than in East and Southern Africa.--From The World Bank Annual Report, 1992 in a row / / 连续as / Az, Ez/ conj.以...方式；像...一样stagnate / s5tAgneit/ v.（经济等）不发展；停滞aggregate / 5Agrigeit/ a.合计的easing / / n.（限制等）放松；缓和；（价格）下降趋势；（利率）降低per capita income / / 人均收入acceleration / AkselE5reiFEn/ n.加快；增速sustain / sEs5tein/ n.保持；使持续不断high rates of growth / / 高增长率deteriorate / di5tiEriEreit/ v.恶化；变坏；（质量或价格的）下降underlying / 5QndE5laiiN/ v.根本的；基本的cyclical / -kl/ a.循环的；周期的slacken / 5slAkEn/ v.变缓慢；减弱compound / 5kRmpaund, kEm5paund/ v.加重compression / kRm5preFEn/ v.压缩moderate / 5mRdErit/ n.使缓和；减轻；减弱robust / rEu5bQst/ v.强健的；强有力的domestic demand / / 国内需求concession / kEn5seFEn/ a.让步debt rescheduling / / 重新安排债务的偿还计划breakthrough / 5breikWru:/ n.突破性的进展onset / 5Rnset/ n.开始slump / slQmp/ n.暴跌rental housing / / 出租房屋fading / / n.逐渐消失；渐弱；衰退tax-cut-induced boom / / 由减税引发的繁荣diminish / di5miniF/ v.减少；降低；缩减dampen / 5dAmpEn/ v.使扫兴；减少；降低anomaly / E5nRmEli/ n.反常之事物；异例excessive / ik5sesiv/ a.过多的；过分的；极度的curtail / kE:5teil/ v.消减leverage / 5lZvEridV/ v.（使）举债经营consolidate / kEn5sRlideit/ v.把...联合为一体；统一；合并merger / mE:dVE/ n.兼并accommodative / E5kRmEdeitiv/ a.肯通融的comparable (to) / / a.可比较的；相似的register / 5redVistE/ v.达到；取得；获得pick-up / / n.好转；恢复；进步reverse / ri5vE:s/ v.使好转protfolio investment / / 证劵投资vibrant / 5vaibrEnt/ a.充满生气的dynamic / dai5nAmik/ a.有活力的catch-up / / n.竞争sluggishness / / n.萧条disruption / dis5rQpFEn/ n.混乱diversification / daivE:sifi5keiFEn/ n.多样化intra-regional / / 地区内的buoyant / 5bRiEnt/ a.活跃的；有生气的integration / inti5greiFEn/ n.结合，合并；统一，整体lackluster / / a.无生气的；灰暗的rein in / / 抑制couple with / / 并提；把...联系起来，加之...workers' remittance / / 工人侨汇（在国外工作的工人汇回本国的外汇收入）repatriate / ri:5pAtrieit/ v.把...遣返回国contract / 5kRntrAkt, kEn5trAkt/ v.收缩；减少bottoming-out / / （经济衰退局面等）降至最低点后即将复苏robusta / / n.粗壮咖啡豆arabica / E5rAbikE/ n.咖啡籽1.In 1991, for the second year in a row, the economies of low-income and middle-income countries virtually stagnated, as measured by an increase in per capita gross domestic product (GDP).2.Aggregate output for developing countries advanced by slightly less than 2 per cent during 1991(similar to the weak performance of 1990), implying an easing in per capita income of 0.1 per cent.3.Excluding Central and Eastern Europe, growth in developing countries in 1991 was 3.4 per cent, compared with 3.8 per cent during the 1980s.4.…. an increase in China’s growth rate helped to sustain high rates of growth in the East Asia region.5.International conditions for growth in developing countries deteriorated in 1991.6.The seven major industrial countries(the G-7) experienced a significant slowdown in GDP growth …7.…it also contributed to a drop of over 6 per cent in nonoil commodity prices …8.These trends were compounded by worsening economic conditions in the Soviet Union and its successor states, …9.Policy reforms in Latin America helped to moderate infla tion and domestic demand …10.robust domestic demand11.the third consecutive year12.There were no breakthroughs in the Uruguay Round of GATT negotiations on key elements,…13.Growth in the G-7 countries d ecelerated…14.The broad trend was the outcome of largely unexpected setbacks to recovery in the United States and the United Kingdom and the apparent onset of a slower period of economic growth in Japan and Germany.15. a slump in construction of rental housing16.… expectations of profitability were dampened by higher wages and high short term nominal and real interest rates.17.Inflation as measured by the GDP deflator slackened in most of the G-7 countries.18.It continued to decelerate in North America and edged down in Japan.19.curtailing financing of higher-risk projects20.These devolopments played some part in the general tightening of credit during 1991 …21. a narrowing of current-account imbalances22.dollar depreciation23.the earlier appreciation of the deutsche mark,24.The slope of the Japanese yield curve25.primary commodities and manufactures26.merchandise exports27.the spike in oil prices28.the sharp compression of imports29.the severely adverse effects of the Gulf crisis on the economies of Middle Eastern countries30. a pick-up in China31.significant gains in the export of manufactures32. a double-digit rates33.market diversification34.reining in of its budget deficit35.exchange-rate devaluation36. a bottoming-out。

Prices are in many cases at, or near, historic lows in real terms as markets struggle to cope with floods of surplus produce. And—with most soothsayers forecasting flat, or still lower, prices—the markets themselves have lost much of their allure.许多情况下，产品的价格都在实际意义上处于或接近历史最低价，这是因为市场要应付泛滥成灾的过剩的农产品。

如果有通往中国未来之路的话，那便是始自上海的204国道。在这尘土飞扬的双车道上，当地的卡车、公交车与港台投资者的金融家所开的卡迪拉克竞相向前进。外来打工者使狭窄的路肩显得拥挤不堪。公路两测，鞋厂、玩具厂、塑料厂、服装厂、飞机部件厂与医疗设备厂鳞次栉比。结果，大片稻田被工业区占用，用于建立更多的工厂。吊车在头顶转动，翻斗车与混凝土搅拌机在路上小心谨慎地行使。在嘉定镇外面，每三分钟就有一辆牵引拖车驶出亚洲最大的集装箱厂，向上海码头运货。204国道上的交通如此拥挤。以致于从上海到张家港这仅仅115公里的路程就需要5个小时。

Beijing Rising
(Excerpts)
China’s emergence as an economic heavyweight after more than a decade of fast growth makes it likely to supplant Japan as the West’s main trade worry in Asia
By Frank Gibney Jr.
中国开放的经济
中国在崛起
经过十多年的迅速发展，中国一跃成为一个举足轻重的经济强国，这使它有可能取代日本而成为西方国家在亚洲地区的贸易的主要忧患
If there is a road to China’s future, Highway 204 out of Shanghai is it. Along its two dusty lanes, local trucks and buses jockey with Cadillacs driven by financiers from Taiwan and Hong Kong investors. Migrant workers crowd the narrow shoulders. Factories line the highway, producing sneakers, toys, plastics, clothes, aircraft components and medical equipment. Eventually industry gives way to ricefields, which is being dug up to build still more factories. Cranes turn overhead as dump trucks and cement mixers nose onto the road. Outside the town of Jiading, one tractor-trailer leaves Asia’s largest container plant every three minutes, carrying goods bound for the Shanghai docks. The traffic on Highway 204 is so thick that the trip from Shanghai to Zhangjiagang –only 115 kilometers away –takes five hours.

旺旺英语Lesson 5 U.S. Is Prepared to See Trade Relations Worsen美国已做好准备任凭其贸易关系恶化By Peter BehrWashington Post Service 1. WASHINGTON—The Clinton administration is drawing the first lines of a tougher U.S. policy on trade, signaling to Europe and Japan that it will demand fairer treatment for American exports and is prepared to see relationships with U.S. trading partners get worse before they get better.克林顿政府正计划推行强硬的贸易政策路线，由此向欧洲和日本发出信号要求其更为公正的对待美国的出口，同时也表示美国政府已做好准备对待贸易关系恶化而非改善的状况。
2. The strongest signal came last week, when Mickey Kantor, the U.S. trade representative, moved quickly to cite the 12-nation European Community for “intolerable” discrimination against U.S. companies seeking government contracts within the Community. The administration will begin retaliating in six weeks if EC policies remain unchanged, Mr. Kantor said.美国贸易代表Mickey Kantor在上周发出了最为强烈的信号，他对欧共体12国限制美国公司参与欧洲政府采购计划迅速做出反应，认为这种做法是“不可忍受”的，并且警告说如果欧洲在六周之内不改变其现有做法那么美国将会采取报复性措施。

But Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are spoiling for yet another fight, and this time they’re picking on the little guys: non-cola makers like Seven-Up and Dr Pepper.By Monci Jo Williams 但是可口可乐和百事可乐一心想进行另一场战斗，这一次它们选中了小企业：“七喜”和“佩拍博士”。
In the U.S. soft drink industry, where 1% of the market is worth $ 300 million in retail sales, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo don’t wage mere market share battles. They fight holy wars. These days the fighting is on two fronts. One is on the vast plains of the cola business, where the reformulation of Coke has Pepsi on the defensive. The other is in the back alleys of the smaller, non-cola market. Until now these have been dominated by other companies. As growth of high-calorie colas slows, however, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are invading new territory.在美国的软饮料行业，1％的市场份额就意味着3亿美元的零售额，可口可乐公司和百事可乐公司进行的不仅仅是争夺市场份额的斗争，他们进行的是“圣战”。

The ritual begins shortly after dawn. As the early morning light filters through the windows of Lucky-$8 billion conglomerate, issues instructions that echo around the world. In Huntsville, Ala., 200of things to come. As one of Koo’s lieutenants puts it: “Our future lies in becoming a truly global company.”黎明后，仪式开始。

在加利福尼亚的硅谷，身着白色工装的研究人员在探索目前最先进的半导体技术的秘密。
在沙特阿拉伯的著拜尔，该公司正在进行一个新的宠大石油化学企业的最后试验。
这充分显示了其全球的势力范围，也是即发生的许多事情的预兆。
正如具滋暻的一名下属所言：“我们的未来就是成为一个真正的全球性公司。
”For South Korea as a whole, that seems as much a prophecy as an ambition. Like Japan in the 1960s, the country is poised for an assault on the world’s export markets. Its surging $81 billion economy is churning out a flood of increasingly sophisticated products, from shoes, toys and telephones to video recorders and microprocessors. Korea’s mighty conglomerates dominate Middle East construction, and they command key shares of the world’s shipbuilding, textile and steel industries. Their affiliates, joint ventures and subsidiaries girdle the globe, stretching from Australia, Indonesia and India to Norway, Spain and Gabon, Hyundai and Daewoo, with annual sales of $10 billion and $6 billion respectively, are pushing into the U.S. auto market, riveting the attention of American and Japanese manufacturers. Another colossus, the $9 billion Samsung, has started marketing a “super-tech” 256K computer chip—encouraging some Koreans to speak confidently of the day when they will become the world’s second largest manufacturer of basic electronic components, outstripping America and running just behind Japan.对整个韩国来说，那似乎不仅是个预言，也是个理想；像20世纪60年代的日本一样，这个国家准备向世界出口市场发起攻击。

Lesson 4 The Economic Scene: A Global Perspective经济景观：全球视野(Excerpts)1.In 1991,for the second year in a row, the economies of low-income and middle-income countries virtually stagnated, as measured by an increase in per capita gross domestic product (GDP). Aggregate output for developing countries advanced by slightly less than 2 per cent during 1991 (similar to the weak performance of 1990), implying aneasing in per capita income of 0.1 per cent.1991 年，中低收入国家以人均国内生产总值（GDP）测算的经济增长连续两年处于停滞状态。
1991 年（与1990 年的不景气状况相似），发展中国家的总产量的增长率略低于2%，这意味着其人均收入降低了0.1% 。
2.Aggregate statistics for 1991 were influenced by the sharp decline in output in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as by the adverse effects of the Gulf crisis on several economies in the Middle East. Excluding Central and Eastern Europe, growth in developing countries in 1991 was3.4 per cent, compared with 3.8 per cent during the 1980s. Estimates of GDP growth by major geographic region show an acceleration in Latin America and in sub-Saharan Africa; an increase in China ’s growth rate helped to sustain high rates of growth in the East Asia region.1991 年的总数据，不仅受到了海湾危机对中东几个国家的经济的有害作用的影响，而且也受到了中、东欧国家的产量的急剧下降的影响。

20世纪50年代，中国向苏联和东欧国家出口农产品换取制造品和资本设备，用于侧重于重工业发展所必须的工业化项目。
1958~1959年的“大跃进”最初在工农业生产上带来收益，但随后又导致了严重的经济平衡。
三年自然灾害(1959-1961)加剧了经济问题，造成1960-1962年间的国民收入和对外贸易额的减少。
20世纪60年代，苏联经济和技术援助撤走，导致了中国与苏联及经互会成员国的贸易转向于日本和西欧国家的贸易。
中国对外贸易政策的一贯宗旨是重视与第三世界国家发展贸易关系。
“文化大革命”期间（1966-1976）工农业生产一落千丈，交通运输限制更加严重，中国对外贸易的增长再次中断。
The Sino-USA agreement on trade relations, which came into force（解释：施行）in February 1980, accords China most-favoured nation treatment.（最惠国待遇）在实现四个现代化中起着很大作用的对外贸易在近几年发展很快。
1978年2月于日本签订了一个主要贸易协定，根据这个协定，中国向日本出口每盒石油换取工业设备和技术。
1978年中国也与欧共体签订了长期贸易协定，继1979年初与美国的外交关系正常化以后，中美贸易发展迅速。
美国遵照1980年1月25日生效的中美贸易关系协定给与中国最惠国待遇。

Breakdown分类A commodity breakdown of China’s trade shows that fuels （燃料）accounted for 24 per cent of total exports in 1982, 中国的贸易商品分类表明，1982年燃料占总出口的24%，食品占13%，纺织纤维和矿砂占7%，制造品占55%（最重要的产品是纺织品、化工产品、机械及运输设备）。
自从新中国建立以来，中国一直重视进口资本设备已使加强工业部门。
但是1982年进口的主要是食品，占进口总额的22%，轻工业产品占20%，机械和运输设备占17%。
During the past few years a major objective of the Chinese authorities（权威、权力）has been to reduce（减少）the proportion（比例）of agricultural exports, while increasing that of industrial and mineral products. A wide variety（多样性）of industrial goods are now exported and Chinese capital equipment has been used by a number of developing countries to establish projects in areas such as agriculture, forestry, light industry, food processing, water conservation and transport and communications.过去几年，中国当局的主要贸易目标一直是减少农产品出口的比例，增加工业和矿产品的出口比例。
中国现在出口种类繁多的工业品，许多发展中国家采用中国的资本设备，用于农业、林业、轻工业、食品加工业、水保护、交通和通信领域中的建设项目The Balance Shifts 收支平衡变化The US dollar value of Chinese exports increased at an average rate of almost 18 per cent per annum between 1978 and 1983, while imports increased by approximately （大约）11 per cent per annum. As a result, the visible trade surplus （有形贸易顺差）rose sharply from US $ 1.4 billion in 1981 to US $ 4.4 billion in 1982 and US $ 3.7 billion in 1983. Exports grew much faster than imports during this period not only because of the strong emphasis placed on exporting by China’s economic planners, but also because a number of industrial projects were postponed in 1979. Official（官方）recognition（承认）that foreign technology could play a major role in modernising the Chinese economy had caused imports to rise by more than 50 per cent in 1978 placing undue strain on the national economy. Grain imports have fallen sharply over the past few years ---- China became a net grain exporter in 1984 ---- and in 1983 the country started to export soyabeans and cotton.1978-1983年建，中国出口额按美元计算，平均每年增长率近18%，每年进口额增长率约是11%。
因此有形贸易顺差从1981年的14亿美元猛增到1982年的44亿美元，1983年是37美元。
同期的出口比进口增长快得多，这不仅是因为中国的经济决策者十分重视出口，还因为许多工业项目推迟到了1979年。
官方认识到，在中国经济走向现代化的过程中外国技术起着主要作用，这种认识导致1978年进口增长50%以上，给国民经济造成了不应有的重负。
在过去几年粮食进口急剧减少—1984年中国成为粮食净出口国---1983年中国开始出口大豆和棉花。
1984年外贸发展模式出现反向发展，出口值增长10%，进口值急剧上升到38%，结果有形贸易支出出现逆差，达11亿美元。
去年进口的大幅度上升归因于政府的贸易政策和对外贸易政策的成功以及区域升温的经济活动。
Direction of Trade 贸易方向香港是中国的主要出口市场，1983年约占总出口的26%（尽管许多出口商品从那里再出口到其他地方）。
其他重要的出口市场报考日本，1983年占20%；还有美国，占总出口近8%。
过去几年欧共体展中国出口额大约11-12%（欧共体内主要的出口市场是德国和英国），出口到经互会国家的比例从1978年的约15%下降到6%。
1983年非石油国家（不包括香港）占中国出口总额的23%。
In sharp contrast（鲜明对比）1983年发展中国家给中国提供的进口不到15%，与发达国家形成鲜明对比。
工业国家中对中国来说最大的供应国是日本，占26%；其次是美国，占13%。
1983年欧共体国家占15%，经互会国家占8.2%。
The successful outcome to negotiations（谈判）between Britain and China about the future（未来）of Hong Kong will strengthen（加强）Sino-British relations and is expected to boost（推动）trade between the two countries. A large British economic and trade delegation（代表团）, headed by Lord Young, Minister without Portfolio（不管大臣）, visited China in March. The value of Chinese exports to Britain, which rose rapidly between 1977 and 1980, declined in 1981-1982, but recovered strongly in 1983; imports from the United Kingdom followed a similar pattern（相似的样式）. The most important Chinese exports to Britain in 1983 were clothing, textile fibres（纺织品纤维）, tea and food products while the leading British exports included iron and steel（铁和钢）, machinery and transport equipment, scientific instruments, chemicals and textile fibres.中英关于香港未来谈判的成功将会加强中英关系并有望促进两国贸易。
有不管大臣杨勋爵率领的一个大型英国经济和贸易代表团3月份访问了中国。
中国出口到英国的总值在1977-1980期间迅速增长。
1981-1982年间下滑，但1983年恢复很快；从英国的进口基本上也是一样。
1983年中国出口到英国的最重要的物品是服装、纺织纤维、茶叶和食品；英国的主要出口商品包括钢铁、机械及运输设备、科学仪器、化工产品和纺织纤维。
Chinese officials stress（着重）the importance of introducing advanced technology to domestic industry（国内的工业）, but the need is for technology of varying（不同的）degrees of sophistication, not necessarily for advanced technology as that term is understood in the West.中国政府重视向国内的工业引进先进的的技术，但是需要的是各种各样的高精尖技术，，而不一定是西方人所理解的先进技术。
