问答题 In the past decade emerging markets have established themselves as the world"s fastest growing economy. Lately, though, the sprinters have started to slow down. Last week China reported its slowest growth in three years. India recently recorded its weakest performance since 2004. Only Russia was spared. Some investors darkly recall the developing world"s crisis-prone history and wonder whether the worst is yet to come. No crisis looms, but serious concern is justified, for the emerging world faces two distinct risks: a cyclical slowdown and a longer-tern erosion of potential growth. The first should be reasonably easy to deal with. The second will not.
【正确答案】
【答案解析】在过去的十年中,新兴市场已经成为世界上经济崛起最快的经济体。但最近这些国家的发展势头开始有所减缓。上周,中国出现了近三年来的最低增长,印度也出现了自2004年以来的低谷,唯有俄罗斯幸免于难。一些投资者悲观地回顾了发展中国家危机四伏的发展史,并怀疑最坏的时候尚未到来。说危机在即略嫌不妥,但深表忧虑应不为过。新兴市场目前正面临两大不同危机,即周期性的下跌,以及对潜在增长可能的长期削弱。前者应该不难解决,后者则可能颇为棘手。
