There's no question that the big are getting bigger and more powerful.
无疑，大企业正在变得更大、更强。
Multinational corporations accounted for less than 20% of international trade in 1982.
跨国公司在1982年只占有国际贸易不到20％的份额。
Today the figure is more than 25% and growing rapidly.
而现在，这个数字上升到25％强，并且还在迅速上升。
As a result, California's growth rate dropped during the 1970s, to 18.5 percent — little more than two-thirds the 1960s' growth figure and considerably below that of other Western states.
结果，加利福尼亚的人口增长率在70年代降到了18.5％——略高于60年代增长率的2/3，但大大低于西部其他各州。
Economists have been particularly surprised by favourable inflation figures in Britain and the United States, since conventional measures suggest that both economies, and especially America's, have little productive slack. America's capacity utilisation, for example, hit historically high levels earlier this year, and its jobless rate (5.6% in August) has fallen below most estimates of the natural rate of unemployment — the rate below which inflation has taken off on the past.
经济学家对英美两国有利的通胀率感到特别诧异，因为传统的计量方法表明两国经济，特别是美国经济几乎没有生产萧条的时候。比如，美国的生产力利用率在今年前段时间达到了历史最高水平，失业率（8月份为5.6％）已降到低于对自然失业率的大多数估测——过去，当比率低于自然失业率时，通货膨胀率早已迅速上升。
This year, 50 percent of the 910000 people who suffer from cancer will survice at least five years. In the year 2000, the National Cancer Institute estimates, that figure will be 75 percent. For some skin cancers, the five-year survival rate is as high as 90 percent. But other survival statistics are still discouraging — 13 percent for lung cancer, and 2 percent for cancer of the pancreas.
今年，91万癌症患者中有一半将至少再活5年。国家癌症研究所估计，到2000年存活率将升至75％。现在对于一些皮肤癌来说，5年期存活率高达90％，但其他类型癌症的存活数据却仍令人沮丧——肺癌13％，胰腺癌2％。

"So the government is linked to this. I think the fact that you see Musa Hilal, who is one of the Janjaweed leaders make no mistake about it, running around Khartoum giving interviews to the international press, flying on government helicopters, indicates the degree of collaboration there. And what we have said is that these Janjaweed leaders need to be held accountable."

Washington is pushing for a much tougher approach. The next showdown for Iran is the IAEA meeting in September to review its cooperation on inspections of its facilities. But analysts say Iran probably figures it can buy time before tougher action is taken by assuming there will be no dramatic shift in the international community's strategy before the U.S. presidential elections in November.
他还提到了俄罗斯。俄罗斯开始进一步限制对伊朗核计划提供技术和设备，但它不愿放弃利益丰厚的合同。欧洲国家虽然对伊朗一意孤行的做法感到不满，但还是主张通过对话磋商来说服德黑兰放弃发展核武器。而华盛顿力图采取更加严厉的措施来解决这个问题。伊朗将在9月份面临再次摊牌， 届时，国际原子能机构会对伊朗与其在核设备检查方面的合作情况做出评估。但是分析人士说，伊朗会估计，在11月份美国大选前，国际社会对它发展核武器问题的处理策略不会有太大改变，因此在联合国采取更严厉的行动之前，它还能争取到一些时间。
