智课网TOEFL备考资料外国投资看好印度一托福阅读机经背景 India attracted record foreign investment of about $50 billion last year. Despite a slowdown in its economy, India continues to be an attractive global investment hub. 印度2011年吸引的外国投资破记录地高达500亿美元。尽管印度经济本身经历了放缓的过程，但是作为一个国际间的投资选项来说，印度还是相当具有吸引力的。 Much of the economic news in India during the last year was not positive. High inflation persisted. The rupee depreciated. The stock market lost nearly a quarter of its value. Growth rates were revised downwards to seven percent. 去年一年里，印度国内经济方面的消息都不是很令人鼓舞;通货膨胀率一直居高不下，当地的货币卢比也出现相对贬值，印度的股市下跌了四分之一，全国的经济增长率被下调到7%。 But foreign investors are still keeping faith with the potential of Asia’s third largest economy. In the first eleven months of 2011, foreign direct investment totaled $50.81 billion, up 13 percent from the previous year, according to a recent report by global consultancy Ernst Young. 尽管如此，境外的投资人还是相当看好印度这一亚洲地区的第三大经济体。根据全球咨询公司安永(Ernst Young)最近出台的一份报告，2011年的头11个月里，境外直接投资到印度的总额达到508.1亿，比2010年增长了13%。 Analysts say India’s expanding middle class and a large and cheap labor force remain attractive for global businesses. 分析人士说，印度日益扩大的中产阶层和一个规模相当大、并且相对比较廉价的劳动力，对智课企业来说，仍然是非常具有吸引力的。 Chief economist at consultancy Crisil in Mumbai, D.K. Joshi says economic turbulence in Western countries means multinationals will have to explore Asian markets for growth. Among these, India’s huge domestic market is clearly one of the main magnets. 总部位于孟买的一家咨询公司的首席经济学家 D.K. 卓什伊说，西方国家目前的经济风波意味着那些跨国公司为了寻求企业和利润的增长，不得不把目光转向亚洲地区，而在亚洲地区，印度本身具有的巨大的国内市场对企业和投资人来说，显然是具有强大的吸引力的。 Growth slowdown that is taking place in India needs to be looked at in the global context. If you look at the weak growth prospects in advanced countries, especially Europe and Japan, and tepid recovery in U.S., seven percent growth in India looks very good. So, from a growth differential perspective I think we are still very attractive, said Joshi. 这位经济学家说：“印度本身的经济增长虽然放缓了，但是这要放在全球范围内来看。那些发达国家、尤其是欧洲和日本的经济相当疲弱、美国经济复苏也不那么强
