Interpret the following passages from English into Chinese. Start interpreting at the signal and stop at the signal. You may take notes while you are listening. You will hear each passage only once. Now, let’s begin.
The slowing of China’s economic growth has many causes. In my view, it is a healthy development, resulting from a necessary change in China’s growth model. Since the beginning of China’s growth miracle, a large part of the country’s development has been directed from the center. This top-down approach has focused on heavy industry, infrastructure, and the promotion of exports. This growth model had its roots in central planning, but China also encourages market liberalization and openness to international competition, thus making significant gains in productivity and technological upgrading. This strategy has been incredibly successful: The Chinese economy is two-and-a-half times bigger today than a decade ago.
However, the top-down strategy has its limits. The share of economic output going into manufacturing, infrastructure, and exports is too large to be sustained, and there is overemphasis on investment and exports rather than on consumption. Recognizing these limits, China is working to make the transition to a bottom-up growth model, focused on the development of service industries, that is, retail trade, health, education, finance, and transportation. Services currently make up about half of the Chinese economy, compared to about four-fifths of the economy of the United States. As productivity in services generally does not grow as quickly as in manufacturing, this transition will involve slower economic growth.
The experience of some old American industrial cities like Pittsburg offers useful lessons to China as it goes through this crucial economic transition. The economy of Pittsburgh was built on heavy manufacturing, a model that eventually reached its limits. And heavy industry took a heavy toll on its environment. Pittsburgh and other industrial American cities that succeeded in reviving their economies did so primarily by turning from manufacturing to services. In these cities, the government and the private sector worked together to revitalize downtowns, develop tourist attractions and conference facilities, clean up the environment, and improve transportation links and other critical infrastructure. They then attract businesses in clean sectors like medicine, technology, finance, and retail.
Strengthening education was the key, as it has benefits like attracting and maintaining skilled workforces and setting up high-tech companies. Pittsburgh’s redevelopment was greatly helped by hosting several major universities, particularly the University of Pittsburgh, which led efforts to build research facilities where old factories had once stood. A symbol of Pittsburgh’s transformation is the former U.S. steel building in downtown Pittsburgh, the headquarters of a steel company. It is now the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, which is the largest employer in the whole region. How can China make a transition to a more service-oriented economy, like Pittsburgh has done? Reducing subsidies to exports and heavy industry, while continuing reforms to make it easier to start new businesses is a critical step. China can also enter into partnerships with foreign companies that can bring essential expertise in various fields.
Reviving old American industrial cities like Pittsburg offers a useful lesson to China, which is the building of a strong middle class. Middle-class households are the primary market for a wide range of services, from education to healthcare to retail to entertainment. For American cities like Pittsburg, attracting middle-class consumers involved improving public infrastructure and education, reducing crime, and increasing job opportunities. In the case of China, to build a strong middle class, it needs to strengthen the social safety net, as this will give households income security so that they can save less and spend more. It also needs to reduce excessive government regulations and provide more consumer choices. A strong Chinese middle class will stimulate the development of new services and give the bottom-up approach a chance to succeed.
选项
答案
中国经济增长速度放缓,这有很多原因。我认为,增速放缓是健康的,是中国发展模式改变造成的必然结果。从中国经济增长的奇迹一开始出现,中国的发展在很大程度上是中央主导的。这种自上而下的政策的重点是发展重工业、基础设施和出口。这种发展模式源于中央计划,但中国也鼓励市场自由化,欢迎国际竞争,从而在提高生产力和技术升级方面取得了重大进展。这一战略取得了巨大成功。现在中国经济总量比十年前的大2.5倍。 但是这种自上而下的战略也有其局限性。经济产出用于制造业、基础设施和出口的部分过大,难以持续,过分强调投资和出口,而忽略了消费。中国己认识到这一战略的局限性,正在努力转变为一种自下而上的发展模式,更加重视发展服务业,也就是说,零售业、保健、教育,金融和运输。目前服务业占中国经济总量的一半左右,而美国服务业占经济总量的五分之四左右。由于服务业的生产率增长幅度一般不如制造业的快,这一转变将导致经济增长减速。 在中国正经历这一关键的经济转型阶段时,像匹兹堡这样老的美国工业城市的经验可以对其提供有益的借鉴。匹兹堡的经济是以重工业为基础的,但这种模式最终走到了尽头,重工业对其环境造成了严重污染。匹兹堡和其他一些美国工业城市重振经济发展,主要得益于成功地从制造业向服务业转型。在这些城市中,政府和私营企业共同努力重新发展市中心地区,发展旅游景点和会议设施,净化环境,并改进交通网和其他重要的基础设施,然后吸引公司在医药、技术、金融和零售业等清洁领域内投资。 加强教育是关键的环节,因为这可以吸收和留住有技术的劳动力,并成立高科技公司。匹兹堡的再发展在很大程度上得益于当地有几所知名大学,特别是匹兹堡大学。这所大学带头在老工厂的旧址上建立了研究机构。匹兹堡焕然一新的一个象征就是市中心原来的美国钢铁大楼。这座大楼以前是一家美国钢铁公司的总部,而现在是匹兹堡大学的医疗中心,该中心在整个地区雇佣人员占第一位。那么中国如何像匹兹堡那样进行转型,发展以服务业为导向的经济呢?很重要的一步是,减少对出口和重工业的补贴,继续改革,使创业更容易。中国也可以与外国公司结成伙伴关系,以利用它们在各个领域内的专业知识。 重振像匹兹堡这样的美国老工业城市为中国提供了一条有益的经验,那就是发展强大的中产阶级。中产阶级家庭是从教育到保健、零售业和娱乐业等各种服务业的主要市场。对于匹兹堡这样的美国城市来说,要吸引中产阶级消费者,就需要改进公共基础设施和教育,减少犯罪,增加就业机会。就中国而言,要发展强大的中产阶级,它应该加强社会保障网,因为这将使家庭有收入安全感,以便能够减少储蓄,增加消费。中国也应该减少政府过度监管,并提供更多的消费选择。中国发展强大的中产阶级将刺激新的服务业发展,并使得自下而上的战略能够获得成功。
