Part 2 Passage Interpretation: English to Chinese

To create and sustain economic growth is the most fundamental challenge of our time. Of course, there are other challenges like health care, environmental protection, racism and terrorism. these challenges seem more complicated, but we can’t solve them until we create sustainable economic growth.

Now, the biggest question is this: How are we going to create economic growth in both developed and developing economies?  Developed countries who suffered the financial crisis are struggling to create economic growth. In a similar vein, the emerging markets, where 90 percent of the world’s population lives, are struggling to reach that seven percent magic mark. What was worse, countries like India, Russia, South Africa, Brazil and even China are falling below that number and are, in many cases, actually regressing. 

As a matter of fact, economic growth really matters. Economic growth helps countries and societies enter into the virtuous cycle of upward mobility. Economic growth also matters powerfully for the individual. If growth stops, the risk to human progress and the risk of political and social instability rise.

Part 2 Passage Interpretation: English to Chinese

创造和保持经济增长，是我们这个时代最基本的一个挑战。当然，我们还有别的挑战，比如 医疗保健、环境保护、种族问题和恐怖主义问题。 这些挑战看起来更复杂，但是我们在达成可持续经济增长之前是不可能解决这些挑战的。

目前，最大的问题就是：我们怎样在发达国家和发展中国家都创造经济增长？发达国家经历了金融危机，争奋力地去创造经济增长。同样，拥有世界90%人口的发展中国家也奋力地去达成7%增长率的魔力数字。更糟的是，类似印度，俄罗斯，南非，巴西甚至中国都没有达到那个数字，而事实上有很多国家是在倒退的。

其实，经济增长至关重要。经济增长能让国家和社会进入一个向上走的良心循环。经济增长对个体的影响也十分巨大。一旦停止增长了，人类发展的风险、政治和社会动荡的风险都会提高。
