区域经济学专业英语

WHAT IS REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT?

1

、

A

region

can

be

sub-national,

part

of

a

country

or

it

can

be

supra-national,

a

combination of countries.

An example of the latter is when we talk about the region of South-East Asia.

An example of the former is when we talk about the western provinces of China.

一个区域可分国家，即国家的一部分或是超国家、联合国。

后者的一个例子是，当我们谈论东南亚地区。

前者的一个例子是当我们谈论中国西部省份。

For

this

course,

we

will

be

concerned

with

sub-national

regions,

i.e.,

parts

of

a

country.

More particularly, we will be concerned with economic disparities between regions of

a country.

对于这门课程，我们将关注的是民族地区，即一个国家的部分地区。

更特别的是，我们将关注一个国家地区之间的经济差距。

、

Regional disparities refer to the fact that when a country grows, not all parts of the

country may grow equally.

This means that, over time, a gap may open up between

regions.

This

gap

may

be

in

income,

employment,

social

development,

or

all

of

these.

Income

disparities

are

what

we

will

be

mainly

concerned

with

but

usually,

when

a

region lags behind in income, it will also lag in many, perhaps most, other areas as

well.

地区差异指的是 ，

当一个国家发展起来的时候，

并非所有国家的部分都能平等增

长。

这意味着，

随着时间的推移，

差距可能开辟区域之间。

这种差距可能在收入，

就业，社会发展，所有这些方方面面都有差距。

收入差距 是我们主要关注的问题，

但通常情况下，

当一个地区落后于收入 ，

它也

会滞后于许多，也许大多数其他地区都是这样。
