Text A-1 < Back Next > Home Reading A 声音 翻译 International Trade Everytime we walk into a store,restaurant, theater or any other place ofbusiness to buy something, we trade. Basically,international trade does not differ fromtrade with other people in our country. Thekey to understanding trade is to rememberwhy it takes place. The reason people trade,regardless of where they live, is that theybelieve they will be better off by trading.When we consider the alternative—each of usproducing everything for ourselves—tradesimply makes more sense.
Text A-2 < Back Next > Home Reading A 声音 翻译 The process of importing and exportingcreates a greater variety of goods and servicesbecause it permits countries to specialize in what they do best. By specializing in the goodsit can produce most efficiently, a country canincrease production and have the opportunityto make more sales and profits. Profits canturn into increased wages for the workforce and additional investment in plantsand equipment. The process also providesconsumers with more goods at lower prices.
Text A-3 < Back Next > Home Reading A 声音 翻译 The benefits of trade can be explainedusing the economic principles of absolute andcomparative advantage. For example, supposethere are a lawyer and a legal assistant. If ittakes the lawyer less time to prepare briefsor to type letters than it does the assistant,in economic language, the lawyer has an“absolute advantage” both in preparing legalbriefs and in typing letters. If we stopped here,we might be inclined to say that the lawyershould produce both, because the lawyer isbetter at both.
Text A-4 < Back Next > Home Reading A 声音 翻译 According to comparative advantage,the lawyer should specialize in his or herstrongest skill—the law, and the legalassistant—typing letters. If they do, theyactually will produce more than if eachof them had tried to do both tasks alone.Specializing in what they do best and thentrading their products for the other thingsthey need will make both parties better off.
Text A-5 < Back Next > Home Reading A 翻译 声音 Through international trade, countriesexchange goods they produce most efficientlyfor goods other countries produce mostefficiently. The more consumers there arein the market, the greater the ability ofeach country to specialize in what it doesbest. It is important to note that both thelawyer and the legal assistant would benefitfrom specialization and trade. Likewise,international trade is a win-win situation forall countries that participate.
A-Trans-1 < Back Reading A 国际贸易 每当我们走进商店、餐馆、剧院或者任何别的商业场所进行消费的时候,我们就在进行交易。从根本上说,国际贸易同我们在国内进行的贸易并无差别。理解贸易的关键是牢记贸易发生的原因。不管是哪里的人,他们进行贸易的理由是因为他们相信通过贸易可以获益。当我们想想另一种选择,即我们每个人都自给自足,那么贸易的意义就更容易理解了。
A-Trans-2 < Back Reading A 通过进出口可以创造出更加多样化的商品和服务,因为各个国家都可以专注于自己最有优势的产品。一个国家通过专门生产自己生产效率最高的商品,就能提高产量,就有机会来提高销量,并增加利润。更多的利润则可转化为员工更高的工资和对工厂及设备更多的投资。进出口也会为消费者提供更多廉价的商品。
A-Trans-3 < Back Reading A 我们可以用绝对优势和相对优势的经济学原理来解释贸易带来的好处。假设有一名律师和一名法律助理,如果这个律师准备案情摘要或打印信件所花费的时间比法律助理少,那么用经济学术语来说,该律师在准备案情摘要和打印信件方面都拥有“绝对优势”。如果到此为止,我们就有可能会说这个律师两件事都应该做,因为他这两方面都更在行。
A-Trans-4 < Back Reading A 按照相对优势的原理,该律师应专注于发挥其最强项——打官司,而法律助理则应专注于打印信件。如果各取所长,他们实际的工作效率会比各自都做这两项工作要高。通过专门从事各自最擅长的事情,然后以自己的产品去换取所需,双方均可获益。
A-Trans-5 < Back Reading A 通过国际贸易,不同国家得以用自己最高效生产的产品去换取别国最高效生产的产品。市场上的消费者越多,每个国家专营自己优势产品的能力就越强。需要着重强调的是,律师和法律助理都会从专业化分工和贸易中获益。同样,国际贸易对所有参与国来说都是一个双赢的局面。
