2.问答题Practice 2George Soros the Financial Crocodile  “The US governs the international system to protect its own economy. It is not in charge of protecting other economies. ”Soros says. “So when America goes into recession, you have anti- recessionary policies. When other countries are in recession, they don’t have the ability to engage in anti-recessionary policies because they can’t have a permissive monetary policy, because money would flee. ” In person, he has the air of a philosophy professor rather than a gimlet-eyed financier. In a soft voice which bears the faces of his native Hungary, he argues that it is time to rewrite the so-called Washington consensus—the cocktail of liberalization, privatization and fiscal rectitude which the IMF has been preaching for 15 years. Developing countries no longer have the freedom to run their own economies, he argues, even when they follow perfectly sound policies. He cites Brazil, which although it has a floating currency and manageable public debt was paying ten times over the odds to borrow from capital markets.  Soros credits the anti-globalization movement for having made companies more sensitive to their wider responsibilities. “I think [the protesters] have made an important contribution by making people aware of the flaws of the system,” he says. “People on the street had an impact on public opinion and corporations which sell to the public responded to that.” Because the IMF has abandoned billion dollar bailouts for troubled economies, he thinks a repeat of the Asian crisis is unlikely. The fund ‘s new “tough love” policy—for which Argentina is the guinea pig——has other consequences. The bailouts were a welfare system for Wall Street, with western taxpayers rescuing the banks from the consequences of unwise lending to emerging economies. Now the IMF has drawn a line in the sand, credit to poor countries is drying up. “It has created a new problem-the inadequacy of the flow of capital from center to the periphery,” he says.  The one economy Soros is not losing any sleep about is the US. “I am much more positive about the underlying economy than I am about the market, because we are waging war not only on terrorism but also on recession.” he says. “I have not yet seen an economy in recession when you are gearing up for war.” He worries that the world’s largest economic power is not living up to its responsibilities. “I would like the United States to live up to the responsibilities of its hegemonic(霸权的) power because it is not going to give up its hegemonic power, ” he says. “The only thing that is realistic is for the United States to become aware that it is in its enlightened self- interest to ensure that the rest of the world benefits from their role.”

    Practice 5  “未来”对每一个人都具有着无可抵抗的诱惑力,这是一个充满了“向前”“美丽”和“憧憬”意向的词语,因为每个人都向往改变和更加美好的生活,于是人们都愿意估算和猜测未来。  也许对于生活在科学门槛前面的中国人来说,科学仍然神秘而美丽,明艳照人。我们还渴望信息时代的生活,我们还渴望生物工程带来长寿和健康,我们还渴望坐在宇宙飞船去往火星的路上看繁星点点……但是如果我们在科学还不是那么发达的时候没有勇气反思的话,我们将有可能直接地与未来的邪恶狭路相逢。那时要面对的并不是别的,而是《圣经》上的末日审判。

    正确答案: 参考译文
    “Future”, a word loaded with the meaning “forward”, “wonderfulness” and “longing”, is an irresistible temptation to any one, because every one is longing for change and a better life, thus they are willing to estimate and make supposition of the future.
    Perhaps, science is still mysterious, wonderful and gorgeous to the Chinese who live outside the threshold of it. We are still longing for the life of the information era, the longevity and health brought by biological engineering, and the chance for watching the stars on the way to Mars by spaceship…but if we lack the courage to make self-retrospection when science is not that sophisticated, we are likely to encounter the evilness of the future. When that time comes, nothing else but the Doomsday referred in the Bible will confront us.

    Practice 13  中国经济上半年总体上保持了持续、快速、健康的发展态势。从宏观经济来说不能轻言“过热”。严格地讲,过热不是个经济词汇。过热相当于人体的发烧,是一种病态。把这个不严谨的词汇放在经济生活中容易引起误解。比如说过热和高速度是什么关系高速度能不能等于过热  当然,在思想上时刻警惕过热是必要的,但是全社会都来炒作“过热”会有不好的效果。比如,如果中国经济现在过热,下一步肯定会出现通货膨胀,可能会“踩刹车”,外资就会对自己的投资重新进行论证。国内企业家也会这样想。过热炒作太多的话会影响一些非专家型的人。就像医生对病人说疾病的时候要科学、严谨,否则会给病人带来很大的心理负担。心理因素在社会经济生活中越来越重要,舆论引导民众心理要有正确的方向。

    正确答案: 参考译文
    Generally speaking, China’s economy has kept a continuous, rapid and healthy development in the first half of the year. Viewed from macroeconomics, it is wrong to allege there is an “overheat” in the economy. Strictly speaking, “overheat” which refers to a kind of sickness corresponding to “fever” in the human body is not an economic term. The use of such an imprecise term in economic life may cause misunderstandings. For example, how would you explain the relationship between overheat and high speed, or does the latter mean the former?
    Of course it is necessary to keep a vigilance all the time, however, it won’t bring any conclusive result if the whole society talks at length about the “overheat” of the economy. For instance, if China’s economy was really overheated at present, inflation would surely follow, then the brake must be applied and as a result foreign investors would re-examine their investments in China, and then domestic entrepreneurs would follow suit. Too much talk about “overheat” would have an adverse effect on some non-expert personnel. A scientific and careful attitude is needed in such talks, just like the way a doctor tells his patient what disease he is suffering from, lest it should become some psychological burden on the part of the patient. Psychological factors are becoming more and more important in social economic life and a correct orientation is needed on the part of the media in order to lead the public opinion in the right direction.

    正确答案: 参考译文
    Poverty Alleviation The main difficulties and problems for China in the 21st century in the field of poverty alleviation are as follows: First, though the income of the poverty-stricken people has been obviously improved, the current standard for poverty relief in China is very low.  Second, restricted by unfavorable natural conditions, weak social insurance system and their own poor comprehensive ability, the people who now have enough to eat and wear may easily sink back into poverty. Third, although the development-oriented poverty reduction drive has greatly changed the poverty and backwardness of the vast impoverished rural areas, there has been no qualitative change either in the basic production and riving conditions of the poverty-stricken peasant households, or in the social, economic and cultural backwardness in those areas. Fourth, because of its large population, China will face employment pressure for a long period to come. This pressure is bound to adversely affect the employment of the impoverished population, so much so that many effective aid-the-poor measures will not play the roles they should play. Fifth, people who still do not have enough to eat and wear generally live in areas with adverse natural environments, a low level of social development and underdeveloped social services, where the contrast between input and result is very sharp.
