But it is a turning-point for theworld economy 新兴市场发展速度变慢并不是经济萧条的开始，却是世界经济的转折点。 WHEN a champion sprinterfalls short of his best speeds, it takes a while to determine whether he istemporarily on poor form or has permanently lost his edge. 当短跑冠军在全速冲刺阶段被落下时，他需要考虑自己只是临时被落后，还是将永远地失去夺冠的优势。 The same is true withemerging markets, the world economy’s 21st-century sprinters. 新兴经济体，21世纪的冲刺者，也面临着同样的困境， After a decade of surginggrowth, in which they led a global boom and then helped pull the world economyforwards in the face of the financial crisis, the emerging giants have slowedsharply. 在10多年的突飞猛进发展过程中，他们引领着全球经济的繁荣、推动世界经济解决面临的财政危机，然后这些新兴巨人突然放慢了脚步， China will be lucky if itmanages to hit its official target of 7.5% growth in 2013, a far cry from thedouble-digit rates that the country had come to expect in the 2000s. 如果2013年中国可以成功地完成了政府公布的7.5%的增长目标，就算是万事大吉了，即便这样，这与中国的期望期——在21世纪达到两倍——仍然相差甚远。 Growth in India around 5% ,Brazil and Russia around 2.5% is barely half what it was at the height of theboom. 印度的增长率大约5%，巴西和俄罗斯大约2.5%，这种增长率还达不到经济繁荣期的一半。 Collectively, emergingmarkets may just match last year’s pace of 5%. 粗略统计，新兴经济体经济发展速度仅达到去年的5%。 That sounds fast comparedwith the sluggish rich world, but it is the slowest emerging-economy expansionin a decade, barring 2009 when the rich world slumped. 尽管与富裕国家（发达国家）缓慢增长速度相比，这些增长率已经算快的了，但新兴经济体的经济增长速度已经达到十年来的最慢阶段。甚至落后于2009年，当年，发达国家经济停滞不前。 This marks the end of thedramatic first phase of the emerging-market era, which saw such economies jumpfrom 38% of world output to 50% measured at purchasing-power parity, or PPP over the past decade. 这也标志着新兴经济体的第一个调整发展时期的结束。在过去的十年里，这些经济体的产出占全球比例由38%，提升至50%，（由购买力即PPP的提升来衡量）。 Over the next ten yearsemerging economies will still rise, but more gradually. 接下来的十年内，新兴经济体将持续增长，但会更稳定（更持久）。 The immediate effect of thisdeceleration should be manageable.
