The following passage is about global economy. Please translate it into Chinese on your Answer Sheet. You may refer to the new words and expressions provided in the box below.

President Clinton realized—as all of us must—that today’s economy is global. We live in an era in which information, goods and capital speed around the globe, every hour of every day. Whether we like it or not, all of our fortunes are tied together. We are truly interdependent.

American supports international trade because we believe fundamentally that trade will enrich those nations who embrace its discipline. The great promise of trade is its potential to promote mutual prosperity—and to strengthen the bonds between sovereign nations.

The U.S. and China both demonstrate the potential of trade to improve the lives of our people. You know better than I the great achievements of the Chinese economy over the past two decades. In 1977, the sum total of Chinese imports and exports was less than $ 15 billion, putting China’s share of world trade at 0.6 percent. The most populous country the world, China ranked a distant 30th among exporting nations. By 1993 China’s exports and imports totaled nearly $ 200 billion. China had become the world’s tenth largest exporter.

答案：正如每个人必须认识到的那样，克林顿总统认识到当今的经济具有全球性质。我们生活在这样一个时代中，信息、货物和资金每时每刻在世界上流动。不管我们喜欢与否，我们所有的命运都是相连的。我们真的需要相互依靠。

美国支持国际贸易，因为我们确信，贸易会使那些遵守行为准则的国家富裕起来。极其光明的贸易前景是促进相互繁荣和加强主权国家之间联系的潜在力量。你们比我更清楚中国经济在过去20年中所取得的伟大成就。在1977年，中国进出口总额还不到150亿美元，仅占世界贸易总额的0.6%，世界上人口最多的中国在出口国家中排名靠后，仅是第30位。到1993年，中国进出口总额接近2,000亿美元，它已成为第10个最大的出口国。 （选自李中正编《国际经贸英汉翻译》附录）
