路透社：中国已取代美国成为世界经济“火车头”，网友：意料之中

China has replaced the United States as the engine of the global economy, providing by far the largest contribution to growth in recent years and pulling along the world's smaller economies in its train.

中国已经取代美国成为全球经济的引擎，成为近几年来经济增长的最大贡献者，并拉动了世界上较小经济体的发展。

The Asian country accounted for 28% of all growth worldwide in the five years from 2013 to 2018, more than twice the share of the United States, according to the International Monetary Fund.

根据国际货币基金组织的数据，在2013年至2018年的五年里，这个亚洲国家占全球经济总增长的28%，是美国的两倍多。

The Fund predicts China will account for a similar share of growth over the next five years between 2019 and 2024 (“World economic outlook”, IMF, October 2019).

该机构预测，在2019年至2024年之间的五年中，中国的增长份额还是会占到类似的份额(“世界经济展望”，IMF，2019年10月)。

The United States is still important, and the Federal Reserve remains at the center of global markets, but the U.S. economy is no longer large enough or growing fast enough to act as the sole locomotive for the world economic train.

美国仍然很重要，美联储仍是全球市场的中心，但美国经济体量已经不够大了，增长也不够快，不足以充当世界经济列车的唯一火车头。

China on its own, and the other major emerging markets collectively, are now more important drivers of the global economy.

中国和其他主要新兴市场现在是全球经济更重要的驱动力。

The traditional aphorism should probably be recast as “when China sneezes” or “when emerging markets sneeze”, the world catches a cold.

那句老话或许应该改写为“当中国打喷嚏时”或“当新兴市场打喷嚏时”，世界就会感冒。

China’s cyclical slowdowns in 2014/15 and 2018/19 were major contributory factors in the worldwide economic slowdowns in those years and China will remain central to the global cycle over the next five years.

中国2014/15年度和2018/19年度的周期性经济放缓是这两年全球经济放缓的主要原因，未来五年，中国仍将是全球周期的核心。

Since early 2018, the United States has pursued a deliberate policy of attempting to hurt China’s economy in response to concerns about the shifting balance of economic power and unfair trade practices.

自2018年初以来，美国一直奉行蓄意损害中国经济的政策，以回应对经济实力平衡转移和不公平贸易的担忧。

Tariffs and non-tariff barriers, including tougher restrictions on market access, investment, business ownership, security blacklists, sanctions and criminal prosecutions have been employed in a “whole-of-government” effort.

(美)政府使出全力，建立关税和非关税壁垒，严格限制市场准入、投资、企业所有权，(将中国企业加入)安全黑名单、对其实施制裁，甚至刑事起诉。

The narrow, publicly stated goal has been to force China to change its industrial policies, including subsidies, state-directed lending, intellectual property protection and market access.

从小范围来看，他们想迫使中国改变其产业政策，包括补贴、国家指导性贷款、知识产权保护和市场准入。

The broader strategic aim has been to restrain the country’s growth and shore up the current U.S.-led global balance of power.

实际上他们更广泛的战略目标则是抑制中国的增长，巩固当前以美国为首的全球力量平衡。

Given China’s role as the global economic locomotive, economic warfare was bound to cause a broad slowdown in the world economy, which materialised in 2018/19.

鉴于中国作为全球经济火车头的角色，贸易战势必导致世界经济普遍放缓，这在2018至2019年间已经被现实验证。

There was simply no way to hurt China’s economy without the impact recoiling on the rest of the world, including on the United States, given China’s central role in global growth.

考虑到中国在全球经济增长中的核心作用，要想伤害中国经济，世界其他国家，包括美国，都会受到影响。

China has replaced U.S. as locomotive of global economy: Not surprising at all.

中国已取代美国成为世界经济火车头，这有什么好奇怪的。
