——————————————————————————————————————一、

San Francisco, open your golden gate, sang the girl in the theatre. She never finished her song. The date was 18th April, 1906. The earth shook and the roof suddenly divided, buildings crashed to the ground and people rushed out into the streets. The dreadful earthquake destroyed the city that had grown up when men discovered gold in the deserts of California. But today the streets of San Francisco stretch over more than forty steep hills, rising like huge cliffs above the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean.

You leave the palm trees in Union Square --- the heart of San Francisco --- and from the shop signs and the faces around you, you will notice that in the city live people from many nations --- Austrians, Italians, Chinese and others --- giving each part a special character. More Chinese live in China Town than in any other part of the world outside China. Here, with Chinese restaurants, Chinese post-boxes, and even odd telephone-boxes that look like pagodas, it is easy to feel you are in China itself.

“旧金山，敞开你的金门吧!”剧院里的那位歌女演唱道。她没有唱完她的歌。这一天是1906年4月18日，大地震动，屋顶突然分裂，高楼大厦轰然坍倒，人们纷纷从屋里逃出，冲上街头。在加利福尼亚州沙漠里发现金矿后成长起来的这座城市，就这样被可怕的地震摧毁了。但时至今日，旧金山的街道四处延伸；遍布四十多座陡峭的小山，那些小山像悬崖峭壁般高耸于太平洋蓝色的海域之上。

联合广场是旧金山的中心，如果你离开广场的棕榈树，你就会根据店铺的招牌和周围人们的脸庞，注意到这座城市里居住着来自许多国家的人——奥地利人、意大利人、中国人和其他国家的人——这就使每一地段呈现出各自的特色。有许多中国人住在唐人街，其人数比中国本土之外世界其他任何地方的华人都多。这里有中国风味的餐馆、中国式的邮筒，甚至还有形如宝塔的奇异的电话亭。这种情况使你很容易感到仿佛是置身于中国境内了。

Every field of study has its own language and its own way of thinking. Mathematicians talk about axioms, integrals, and vector spaces. Psychologists talk about ego, id, and cognitive dissonance. Lawyers talk about venue, torts, and promissory estoppel .

Economics is no different. Supply, demand, elasticity, comparative advantage, consumer surplus, deadweight loss—these terms are part of the economist’s language. In the coming chapters, you will encounter many new terms and some familiar words that economists use in specialized ways. At first, this new language may seem needlessly arcane. But, as you will see, its value lies in its ability to provide you a new and useful way of thinking about the world in which you live.

The single most important purpose of this book is to help you learn the economist’s way of thinking. Of course, just as you cannot become a mathematician, psychologist, or lawyer overnight, learning to think like an economist will take some time. Yet with a combination of theory, case studies, and examples of economics in the news, this book will give you ample opportunity to develop and practice this skill.

每个研究领域都有其自己的语言和思考方式。数学家谈论定理、积分以及向量空间。心理学家谈论自我、本能、以及认知的不一致性。律师谈论犯罪地点、侵权行为以及约定的禁止反言。

经济学家也一样。供给、需求、弹性、比较优势、消费剩余、最低损耗，这些术语是经济学语言的一部分。在接下来的章节里，你会遇到很多新术语以及一些熟悉的词汇，这些术语和词汇被经济学家们用在经济这一领域。起初，这些新的语言可能看起来不必要的神秘，但是，你会看到，他的价值在于他能提供给你一种新的和有用的思考方式，让你思考你生活的世界。

这本书唯一的最重要的目的就是帮助你学习经济学家的思考方式。当然，就像你不能一夜就成为数学家、心理学家或者律师一样，学会像经济学家一样思考会花费一定的时间。然而，在理论、案例研究、以及经济新闻的案例的结合下，这本书将会给你充分的机会来发展和练习这种能力。

希腊违约债务过多地依赖于当局的作为会引发什么事件呢？如果人们对恐慌视而不见，危机蔓延的成本则不会很大。欧洲央行能够抵御住货币市场衰败的势头，举例来说，正如和雷曼破产后美联储采取的办法一样：增加市场的流动性。同时，还可以重启外汇市场的互换业务，这一举措也是在金融危机时期由美联储创立的。人们也在讨论着其他好的做法。其中之一就是着手进行信用压力测试和对那些频临倒闭银行的资产重组。6月17日，国际货币基金组织敦促欧洲金融的监管者加速资本重组的进度，并警告：抓紧完成上述业务的收尾工作。

What might happen if Greece defaults depend largely on how policymakers behave: the costs of contagion need not be big if panic does not take hold. The ECB could counter money-market flight, for instance, by supplying more liquidity, as the Fed did after Lehman crashed. It could also reopen the foreign-exchange swaps set up with the Fed during the crisis.Some good ideas are already being discussed. One is to conduct credible stress tests and recapitalize banks that fail. On June 17th the IMF urged European regulators to speed up recapitalization, warning that there is still a tail of weak banks.

在西餐厅里，通常每个人都点之间的食物或菜，然后吃自己点的东西。中餐厅和西餐厅的最大区别就是吵闹声。大多数西餐厅都很安静，客人们低声说话，尽量避免大喊大叫，尤其是对餐厅工作人员。如果需要服务，你应该尽量用眼睛而不是声音来吸引服务员的注意。最好不要向服务员挥手。

中国人和西方人都喜欢在吃饭时敬酒，尤其是葡萄酒和啤酒。不同之处是西方人在一顿饭中只敬一两次酒。没有必要在每次端起酒杯时都敬酒。饭后买单时，人们大多喜欢账款分摊账单，这就做“AA”制。如果服务和食物都不错的话，还会留下小费。一般来讲，小费是账单的10%。

In a western restaurant, each person generally orders their own food or dishes and eats what they order. One of the biggest differences between Chinese restaurants and western restaurants is the noise. Most western restaurants are quiet and people speak in quiet voices. Avoid shouting, especially to the staff. If you need serviec you should try to attract the waiter’s attention with your eyes not you voice. It’s best not to raise you hand and wave at them either.

Both Chinese and western people love to drink with their food especially wine or beer. The difference is that usually there will only be one or two toasts during the meal. It is not necessary to toast each time you pick up your glass. When the bill at the end of the meal comes most people like to divide the bill equally by the number of people eating. This is called “going Dutch”. If the service and food have been good, you should leave a tip. Usually 10% of the bill is a good tip.

六、

世贸组织

世贸组织的核心是其一系列协议，由世界上的贸易国家谈判并签署。这些文

件，实际上就是协议，构成了国际贸易的法律依据，要求政府保证其贸易政策在协议的范围内。虽然协议是由政府谈判和签署的，但是协议的目标是帮助货物或服务的生产商、出口商和进口商从事商业行为，同时允许政府达到社会的和环境的目标。WTO协议体系最重要的目的是促进贸易自由—只要没有负面影响—因为这对经济发展和社会福利很重要。

World Trade Organization

At its heart are the WTO agreements, negotiated and signed by the bulk of the world’s trading nations. These documents provide the legal ground rules for international commerce. They are essentially contracts, binding governments to keep their trade policies within agreed limits. Although negotiated and signed by governments, the goal is to help producers of goods and services, exporters, and importers conduct their business, while allowing governments to meet social and environmental bojectives. The system’s overriding purpose is to help trade flow as freely as possible-so longas there are no undesirable side effects-because this is important for economic development and social well-being.
