We’ve been having the wrong discussion about globalization.【F1】
For years, we’ve argued over whether this or that industry and its workers might suffer from imports and whether the social costs were worth the economic gains from foreign products, technologies and investments.
By and large, the answer has been "yes." But the truly significant questions about globalization are harder toanswer. Is an increasingly interconnected world economy basically stable? Or does it generate periodic crises that harm everyone and spawn international conflict?
【F2】
Let’s concede that the present U.S. economic slowdown—maybe already a recession—stems mostly from familiar domestic causes: the burst housing "bubble," problematic lending practices and households’ heavy debt burdens.
All have depressed housing and consumer spending. Still, global factors, notably high oil and food prices, have aggravated the slump, and there is a general anxiety that we are in the grip of worldwide economic and financial forces that we do not understand and cannot easily control. This sense of foreboding is not unreasonable, and it helps explain the yawning gap between the economy’s actual performance (poor, but not horrific) and mass psychology (almost horrific).
The good that globalization has done is hard to dispute, though some do.【F3】
Trade-driven economic growth and technology transfer have alleviated much human misery, and if present economic trends continue, the worldwide middle class will expand by an additional 2 billion by 2030.
In the U-nited States, imports and foreign competition have raised incomes by 10 percent since World War II, some studies suggest. Job losses, though real, are often exaggerated. In the late 1990s, U.S. trade deficits increased while unemployment fell.
【F4】
But these advances could be halted or reversed by a disorderly global economy, an economy plagued by financial crises, interruptions of crucial supplies (oil, obviously), trade wars or violent business cycles.
This is globalization’s Achilles’ heel. Connections among countries have deepened and become more contradictory. Take oil producers.【F5】
On one hand, high oil prices hurt advanced countries; but on the other, oil countries have an interest in keeping advanced countries prosperous, because that’s where much surplus oil wealth is invested.
Today’s global economy baffles experts—corporate executives, bankers, economists—as much as ordinary people. Anyone who says differently is either deluded or dishonest. Countries are growing economically more interdependent and politically more nationalistic. They try to maximize their own advantage rather than make the system work for everyone. Considering how much could go wrong, the record is so far remarkably favorable. Alas, that’s no guarantee for the future.
【F1】
选项
答案
这么多年,我们的争论一直集中在这两个问题上,一是进口商品是否会给这个或那个行业及其员 工带来冲击,二是引进国外产品、技术和投资所带来的经济效益是否值得我们为之所付出相当的社会代价。
解析
两个whether从句都表示争论的问题,这两个从句都是长句,可考虑采用“分译法”,先说“争论集中在两个问题上”,再翻译这两个具体的问题。另外,考生应当熟悉“增词法”翻译技巧,本句中不及物动词suffer,译成中文时,应适当添加宾语,“遭到(冲击)”。
