China——A Consumer Market Full of Potential

中国——一个潜力巨大的消费者市场

I have nothing but admiration for the progress China has made since I first visited in 1972.

自1972年我第一次来到中国之后，就目睹了中国的巨大发展，对此我钦佩不已。

The Chinese leadership has shown great skill in achieving stunning economic growth

在过去的25年里，中国取得了令人震惊的经济发展，

over the past 25 years while at the same time managing the change and transition that this level of growth inevitably brings.

同时也妥善处理了高速增长往往会引发的过渡问题。

The development of consumer markets is an important party of this process because two-thirds of most economies are driven by consumer spending.

消费者市场的发展是这一进程中的一个重要部分，因为在众多经济体中，有三分之二的经济体是由消费者的消费椎动的。

China has huge potential consumer markets which will underpin economic growth both today and, even more so, tomorrow.

中国具有潜力巨大的消费者市场，这一市场，现在会，将来更会，椎动经济的发展。

Globally, HSBC sees the consumer markets of tomorrow as China, India, Brazil, Mexico;

汇丰认为，未来全球的消费者市场包括中国、印度、巴西和墨西哥；

all countries that have the potential to move very rapidly up the GDP-percapita scale.

也就是所有那些有潜力实现GDP快速增长的国家。

We would put China at the top of the list.

在这些国家中，中国位居首位。

Everywhere I go, I see tangible signs of China's progress: in the hotels, in the airports, the transport systems.

在中国，元论我走到哪里，都会看到中国发展的生动例证:在酒店、在机场、在交通运输方面。

And there is much more to come.

我坚信未来还会有更多。
