由于受美国经济减速和9·11恐怖袭击事件的影响,世界经济衰退的步伐加快,陷入10多年来的最低谷。发达国家经济增长从2000年的3.8％下降到2001年的1％。 与此相比,3年前还深陷危机、濒临崩溃的俄罗斯,近年来却保持着良好的发展态势,整体经济指标止跌回升,让人刮目相看。 Due to the slowdown of the U.S. economy and the terrorist attacks of September 11, the recession of the world economy accelerated and fell into the lowest level in more than a decade. The economic growth in developed countries dropped from 3.8% in 2000 to 1% in 2001. In contrast, Russia, which was still in crisis and almost collapsed three years ago, has enjoyed a good momentum of development in recent years and the overall economic indicators have been rising and falling steadily.
