一、从经济的高速增长到急剧下降 1984年美国增加了进口,许多工业发达国家,包括新兴工业化国家和发展中国家都因此而大受其益。一些观察家认为,美国增大进口致使新兴工业国和西欧国家变成了美国经济升降的“俘虏”。然而,这些国家又无他路可走,因为,很难找到象美国这样的大市场。 I. Rapid growth from economy to sharp decline In 1984, the United States increased its imports. As a result, many industrialized countries, including the newly industrializing and developing countries, greatly benefited from this. Some observers believe that as the United States increases its imports, the newly industrialized countries and western European countries have become “captives” of the U.S. economy. However, these countries have no other way to go because it is hard to find a big market like the United States.
