Unit 3经济类篇章课上翻译赏析及常用词汇E-CFor decades, young people in the US flocked to New York, Los Angeles and Chicago to build their careers before taking their earnings into the suburbs to raise families. That pattern appears to be fading now, as more young workers are staying put, a Wall Street Journal story reported recently.According to an analysis of census data by the Brookings Institution and The Wall Street Journal, from 2004 to 2007, before the recession, an average of about 50,000 adults aged 25 to 34 left both the New York and Los Angeles metro areas annually. The recession diminished this flow. Fewer than 23,000 young adults left New York annually between 2010 and 2013. Only about 12,000 left Los Angeles a drop of nearly 80 percent from before the recession. Chicagos departures dropped about 60 percent.Big cities offer many of the highest-paying jobs for a generation that was starting or just settling into their careers when the recession hit, an Atlantic article pointed out.But after young people have lived in a big city for a few years, they find it increasingly difficult to get an economic foothold that would allow them to leave.在中国，越来越多的年轻人逃离大城市，移居环境较好的小城镇；与此同时，在美国，却有越来越多的年轻人发现自己被困在了大城市。过去的几十年间，美国的年轻人蜂拥至纽约、洛杉矶和芝加哥立业，然后带着积蓄到城郊安家落户。而据华尔街日报报道，现在这种模式已经没落，更多的年轻人仍留在城里。据布鲁金斯学会与华尔街日报的人口普查分析显示，自2004年至2007年，也就是经济衰退之前，每年平均约5万年龄在25-34岁之间的年轻人离开纽约、洛杉矶等大城市。随着经济衰退，这一数字也开始下降。2010年至2013年间，每年离开纽约的年轻人只有不到2.3万。而离开洛杉矶的人数相比衰退前则几乎缩水了80%，只有1.2万人。离开芝加哥的人数则下降了60%左右。大西洋月刊报道指出，经济衰退来临时，大城市为事业刚刚起步的年轻人提供了很多高薪的就业机会。但是，当这些年轻人在大城市生活几年之后，他们就会发现自己愈来愈难拥有离开大城市的经济基础。C-E支付宝于1月15日发布了个人年度账单，列出了用户的个人开销以及在线支付方式，这随即引起轰动。微博上人们纷纷晒出网购账单以及看到自己消费额后的感想。正如你所料，多数人都被自己的账单雷到了。去年，陈思的淘宝账单约为1万元人民币，超过济南市60%的网购用户，占她日常开销的一多半。并未网购过什么昂贵商品的陈思在看到自己的账单之前根本不知道钱都花到哪里去了，而她也被贴上了“网购新贵”的标签。The annual statement, which shows consumers personal spending and online payment patterns, caused a stir when it was released by Alipay on Jan 15. Many micro-bloggers shared how much money they spend shopping online, and how they felt after discovering the extent of their consumption. As you may have guessed, most of them were shocked by their statement.Last year, Chen Si spent about 10,000 yuan on Taobao more than 60 percent of online shoppers in the city of Jinan and more than half of her living expenses. Chen, who didnt buy any expensive items online, had no idea where her money went before seeing the statement, which labeled her as “an upstart of online shopping”.hot money (国际游资）tax holiday （免税期）行话、俚语：auction house “拍卖行”，非“拍卖屋”commission“佣金”，非“委员会”buy a stock “吃进股票”业内行话baby-kisser “善于笼络人心的政客”，非“亲吻孩子的父母”buck 美元 lowdown 内幕真相 jack up 抬高物价 upscale 高档消费层次1. 出租车起步价 flag-down fare2. 法定准备金率 required reserve ratio3. 实体经济 real economy 虚拟经济 fictitious economy4. 反盗版 anti-piracy 知识产权 intellectual property rights5. 出口退税 tax rebates 人民币升值 the yuans appreciation6. 信贷紧缩 credit crunch 次贷危机 subprime crisis最优惠贷款利率 prime rate7. 翻盖手机 flip/clamshell 滑盖手机 slide phone 直板手机 bar phone8. 经济适用房 economically affordable house9. 安居工程 housing project for low-income urban residents10 .住房保障制度 housing security system11. 大宗交易系统 block trading system 竞价交易系统 bid trading system12. 暴利税 windfall tax13. 整容手术 cosmetic surgery (face lifting)14. 双眼皮手术 double eyelid operation 鼻子手术 nose job15. 从紧的货币政策 tight monetary policy16. 宽松的货币政策 easy monetary policy17. 审慎的财政政策 prudent fiscal policy18. 油价飙升 oil prices surge19. 原油价飙升 crude oil prices surge20. 石油输出国组织 organization of the petroleum exporting countries(OPEC)21. 原油储备 crude oil stockpiles22. 轻质原油 light sweet crude23. 使人均GDP翻两番 to quadruple per capita GDP24. 股权收购、股权投资 stake purchase ; take stakes25. 世界巡演 worldwide tour 复出巡演 comeback tour26. 个体工商户 selfemployed people27. 房屋中介 letting agent 保险经纪人 insurance agent 地产经纪人 estate agent28. 直销 direct selling 传销 pyramid selling29. 漫游费 roaming fee 单向收费 one -way charge 来电免费业务 free incoming calls30. 吃回扣 to take/receive/get kickback31. 洗钱 money laundering32. 透支 overdraft33. 股市牛年 bullish year34. 上市子公司 listed subsidiary35. 海关税收 customs revenue36. 税收减免 tax break37. 二流货的 cutrate38. 高端产品 high end product39. 货币升值 revaluation /currency appreciation 40. 跳槽 jobpopping41. 大片 blockbuster42. 货币经纪人 money broker43. 起征点 cutoff point44. 暴发户；新贵 upstart45. 养老保险 endowment insurance46. 解雇金 severance pay47. 勾销债款 write off48. 高峰期 peak season49. 职员总数 headcount50. 买入股票 buy into51. 出境游 outbound travel52. 逃税 tax evasion53. 公开募款 initial public offering54. 新闻专线 newswire55. 衰退 downturn56. 由推出 bow out57. 便携式游戏机 PSP58. 负有责任的 accountable59. 精炼厂，炼油厂 refinery60. 杀手 hit man61. 官方证明书 clearance62. 家禽流行病 epizonntic63. 辞职；下台 step down64. 门户网站 portal65. 小轿车 sedan66. 战略石油储备 strategic petroleum reserve67. 半导体 semiconductor68. 基准点，衡量标准 benchmark69. 出口补贴 export subsidy70. 对不太重视 play down71. 记账卡，签帐卡 charge card72. 反托拉斯 antitrust73.
