浩瀚的太平洋,曾经把亚洲和北美远远隔开,而今在人们眼里它只不过是太平洋海峡了。新信息传递手段和新交通工具问世,大批移民,东亚各国转为世界经济发展中心,这一切把辽阔无边的太平洋缩小为两大陆之间的狭窄海峡。 上个世纪,轮船、电报的出现使大西洋变窄,建立起连接欧洲和北美的所谓大西洋经济体系。今 The vast Pacific Ocean, once separated Asia from North America, is now nothing more than the Pacific Rim. The advent of new means of information transmission and the advent of new means of transport, massive immigration and the transformation of all East Asian countries into a center for world economic development have allotted the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean to a narrow strait between the two continents. In the last century, the emergence of ships and telegraphs narrowed the Atlantic Ocean and established the so-called Atlantic economic system that connects Europe and North America. this
