最后一句的理解仅靠你提供的这段是不行的。让我们看一下原文:题目是 India's surprising economic miracle ,从 miracle 这个词可以看出作者对印度的态度是肯定的。作者使用了欲扬先抑的手法,第一段先描述印度的劣势,段末转折过渡:许多人可能据此得出一种错误认识。这种错误认识是什么呢?就是第二段中所描述的看法。第三段通过印度经济的高增长率否定了第二段,肯定了印度的灿烂前景,引出文章主题。
India's surprising economic miracle
The country’s state may be weak, but its private companies are strong
Sep 30th 2010
HORRIBLE toilets. Stagnant puddles buzzing with dengue-spreading mosquitoes. Collapsing masonry. Lax security. A terrorist attack. India’s preparations for the 72-nation Commonwealth games, which are scheduled to open in Delhi on October 3rd, have not won favourable reviews. “Commonfilth”, was one of the kinder British tabloid headlines. At best—assuming that the organisers make a last-minute dash to spruce things up—the Delhi games will be remembered as a shambles. The contrast with China’s practically flawless hosting of the Olympic games in 2008 could hardly be starker. Many people will draw the wrong lesson from this.
A big sporting event, some people believe, tells you something important about the nation that hosts it. Efficient countries build tip-top stadiums and make the shuttle buses run on time. That India cannot seem to do any of these things suggests that it will always be a second-rate power.
Or does it? Despite the headlines, India is doing rather well. Its economy is expected to expand by 8.5% this year. It has a long way to go before it is as rich as China—the Chinese economy is four times bigger—but its growth rate could overtake China’s by 2013, if not before (see article). Some economists think India will grow faster than any other large country over the next 25 years. Rapid growth in a country of 1.2 billion people is exciting, to put it mildly. |
