《全國教學型本科院校商務(wù)英語系列規(guī)劃教材:國際經(jīng)貿(mào)報刊文章選讀》從一些世界重要的期刊(包括紙質(zhì)和電子)上,選擇了一些精彩又引人深思的文章,編寫成了12個單元,分別介紹了世界經(jīng)濟形勢、主要發(fā)達國家的經(jīng)濟發(fā)展現(xiàn)狀和問題、發(fā)展中國家的經(jīng)濟成就和問題、金融市場和產(chǎn)業(yè)更替等問題,希望能構(gòu)建讀者和學習者經(jīng)濟發(fā)展的宏觀知識,培養(yǎng)經(jīng)濟動態(tài)發(fā)展意識。
時至今日,人類社會通過幾千年的發(fā)展,已經(jīng)形成了高度發(fā)達和比較完善的經(jīng)濟發(fā)展模式和制度,也創(chuàng)造出了高度的物質(zhì)文明。然而,人類卻沒有擺脫經(jīng)濟發(fā)展周期的困擾。過去的十年,全球經(jīng)濟從復蘇到繁榮,再到當前的衰退,讓人類意識到,如何實現(xiàn)社會經(jīng)濟的持續(xù)穩(wěn)定的發(fā)展是一個重要的有待解決的課題。
了解當前世界經(jīng)濟發(fā)展形勢和問題,才是思考和解決問題的基礎(chǔ)。本書從一些世界重要的期刊(包括紙質(zhì)和電子)上,選擇了一些精彩又引人深思的文章,編寫成了12個單元,分別介紹了世界經(jīng)濟形勢、主要發(fā)達國家的經(jīng)濟發(fā)展現(xiàn)狀和問題、發(fā)展中國家的經(jīng)濟成就和問題、金融市場和產(chǎn)業(yè)更替等問題,希望能構(gòu)建讀者和學習者經(jīng)濟發(fā)展的宏觀知識,培養(yǎng)經(jīng)濟動態(tài)發(fā)展意識。
與此同時,每個單元都設(shè)計了相應(yīng)的練習題,主要有術(shù)語翻譯、句子翻譯、句子解釋和閱讀理解。通過豐富的題型設(shè)計,希望幫助學習者了解和掌握國際報紙和期刊上的英語語言特點,擴大閱讀量,增加經(jīng)貿(mào)知識和培養(yǎng)獨立的思考能力。
本書在設(shè)計閱讀理解上,秉持深度閱讀的理念,因此,課后練習中的閱讀理解的文章和附加閱讀文章與單元的課文內(nèi)容同屬一個主題,能有效幫助學習者掌握該主題的商務(wù)英語語言特點和相關(guān)的經(jīng)貿(mào)知識。
本書是由浙江工商大學外國語學院的教師劉菁蓉、陳嬋、王蕾和莊欣共同編寫。鑒于編者水平有限,望各位讀者批評指正。

Two more positive notes for 2011: The US seems finally to have awakened to the yawning gap between the rich and the rest-between the top l percent and everyone else.
And youth-led protest movements, from the "Arab Spring"i to the Spanish indignados2 and the Occupy Wall Streeters3, have made clear that something is very wrong with the capitalist system.
The likelihood, though, is that the economic and political problems that were so manifest in the US and Europe in 2011-and which have so far been tremendously mismanaged-will only grow worse in 2012. Any forecast for the coming year depends, more than usual, on politics-on the outcome oft he US gridlock, and on European leaders' ability to respond to the euro crisis. Economic forecasts are difficult enough; but when it comes to political forecasts, our crystal balls are even cloudier.
European leaders repeatedly proclaim their commitment to saving the euro, but those who could have repeatedly said that are committed to not doing what is needed. They have recognized that austerity will mean slower growth-indeed, a recession is increasingly likely-and that, without growth, the eurozone's distressed countries will not be able to manage their debts. But they have done nothing to promote growth. They are on a death spiral.
The only thing saving the euro in the short term is the European Central Bank4 (ECB)'s purchase of sovereign bonds, which have kept interest rates from soaring. Like it or not, the ECB is effectively financing the sovereigns. German leaders have frowned on this, and the ECB has felt uncomfortable, limiting its purchases and saying that political leaders, not central bankers, should save the euro.
But the political response has been too little, too late, to say the least. The most likely scenario is more ofthe same: austerity, weaker economies, more unemployment and continuing deficits, with European leaders doing the minimum to fend off crisis for the moment. In short: more turmoil.
The day of reckoning-when the euro breaks up or Europe takes the kind of definitive action that would make a single currency work-may come in 2012, but, more likely than not, Europe's leaders will do whatever they can to postpone that day of reckoning. Europe will suffer, and so will the rest of the world.
