转基因老鼠叫声如小鸟 |

| Prosperity shifting to the east |
繁荣从西方向东方转移 |
A global survey of economic prospects for 2011 suggests the optimists live in emerging countries like China, Brazil and India, the BBC reported. The survey, conducted by Gallup International, suggests the most downcast country is the UK. Pollsters questioned 64,000 people in 53 countries.

英国广播公司消息，一份关于2011年经济前景的全球调查显示，中国、巴西和印度这些经济新兴国家的民众对经济前景的预期最为乐观。这项由盖洛普国际主持的调查询问了世界53个国家的64000位受访者。调查发现民众最为悲观的国家是英国。

| "While wealth is still concentrated in Europe and North America, there is a shift in power and prosperity from the West of the 20th Century to the East," Gallup said. The economies of the BRIC countries-with the exception of Russia-have high growth rates, with GDP expansion of 10 percent not unusual in China. In contrast, the developed economies are struggling to record any growth at all in the wake of the 2008 credit crisis. |
盖洛普的调查揭示：“虽然世界财富将继续集中在欧洲和北美，但是权力和繁荣将从20世纪的西方向东方转移。”金砖四国的经济，除了俄罗斯之外，都在快速增长，国内生产总值增加10%对中国来说稀松平常。然而，发达国家在2008年的信贷危机结束后，仍在重回经济增长的轨道上挣扎。
