Many people are concerned about the economic condition of developing countries—countries whose average per capita GNP is a fraction of that in more industrialized countries. However, for the developing countries, there exist many obstacles to their economic development.
One major obstacle to economic development is population growth. (46)
The populations of most developing countries grow at a rate much faster than those of industrialized countries, and the population of some of them is so large that there is barely enough fertile land and other resources to support it.
Many less developed countries depend extensively on agriculture, adding to the problem. In these countries, an incentive to have many children exists. (47)
Most farms are worked by families, and children can work in the fields at an early age because most farmers believe that more children means more workers.
In addition, having many children ensures the parents that someone will look after them in their old age.
Another problem for developing countries is increasing average life expectancy—the average remaining lifetime for persons who reach a certain age. Better education, international aid, and emphasis on health-care facilities help people live longer. A high life expectancy coupled with a high crude birthrate makes it difficult to increase per capita GNP.
Another obstacle to economic growth is limited natural resources. No country can develop beyond its resource potential. Unproductive land or a harsh climate can limit economic growth. (48)
Some countries may be fortunate enough to discover a valuable mineral to finance their economic development, but most focus on agriculture and, as a result, their economic growth is hindered by the shortage of natural resources or energy sources needed for industry.
Still another obstacle to economic development is a lack of appropriate education and technology. Any developing countries do not have a highly literate population or the high level of technical skills needed to build an industrial society. In addition, most do not have money to train engineers and scientists. (49)
Many developing countries cannot even afford to provide free public education for school-age children, and in those that can, not every child is able to take advantage of it because most of them have to work to help feed their families.
As a result, much of the population may not have the basic skills needed to continue with higher education when it is offered.
Government also can be an obstacle to economic development. A country whose government often changes will have a hard time developing economically. Such constant changes impede long-term planning. (50)
Economic development is made even more difficult if the political changes occur through violent revolution where industrial facilities may be destroyed.
选项
答案
大多数发展中国家的人口增长速度高于发达国家;有些发展中国家的人口如此庞大,以至于没有足够的良田和其它资源来养活他们。
解析
该题目要注意两个代词的翻译。第一个代词those指代前面的rate(增长率)。在英语的比较级中,在句法成分上两个比较项必须明确是什么,把those还原,第一句子就成为...grow at a rate much faster than the rate of industrialized countries.汉语以语义为主,在句法成分上没有必要把两个比较项都说出来,因此,我们可以省略those的翻译,即"…人口增长速度高于发达国家"。代词it指代前面的population一词。但是it却不能翻译成"它"。汉语的"人口"一词既可以指人口数量(如:我国人口庞大)也可以指组成人口的人(如:我国人口众多),不能用"它"来替代"组成人口的人"。因此,我们把it翻译成"他们"。考查点:代词的翻译技巧。
