英語專八人文知識:American Economy

字號:

   1)Factors that contribute to the fast growth of the economy:
    ①the geographical location of the United States povides very good conditions for the country to grow and become strong.
    ②the United States has been blessed by being a land rich in mineral resources and fertile farm soil, together with a moderate climate.
    ③America has been fortunate in having enough people to provide the labour necessary for a constantly expanding economy.
    ④the quality of available labour. The United States has a skilful and willing labour force.
    經(jīng)濟(jì)快速增長的幾個因素:
    1.美國的地理位置為國家的發(fā)展壯大提供了良好的條件;
    2.美國有幸是一塊礦產(chǎn)資源豐富、土壤肥沃的陸地,氣候溫和;
    3.擁有足夠的勞動力以滿足不斷發(fā)展的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長;
    4.這些勞動力的質(zhì)量。美國擁有技術(shù)高和能動性好的勞動力大軍。
    2)Characteristics of the U.S. economy:
    characterised by a high degree of monopoly.
    經(jīng)濟(jì)特征:已高度壟斷為特點。
    3)the importance of foreign trade:
    the United States supplies a larger share of the imports of all other countries than does any other country in the world. But the U.S. share of the world trade has declined in recent years.
    ①Currently US exports are about 15% of the world's total;
    ②the US imports about 13% of all world imports;
    ③Canada is the largest single source of goods imported by the U.S., accounting for nearly 30% of the total. Asia provides about 18% of American imports. Thus the economy of these countries is often affected when the U.S. economy is in trouble.
    美國進(jìn)口的商品比世界任何國家都多。但最近幾年比例有所下降。1.美國出口量占全世界出口總數(shù)的15%;2.美國的進(jìn)口占13%左右;3.加拿大是最大的供應(yīng)國,占總數(shù)的近30%。亞洲占18%左右。因此,一旦美國經(jīng)濟(jì)陷入困境,這些國家也會受到影響。
    4)problems facing the US economy:
    unemployment, inflation, financial deficit, and trade deficit.
    經(jīng)濟(jì)存在的問題:失業(yè),通貨膨脹,財政赤字和貿(mào)易赤字。
