包括克林頓總統(tǒng)，在印尼集會，
and agreed to create a gigantic free-trade zone by 2020.
并同意在公元2020年前建立一個龐大的自由貿(mào)易區(qū)。
Though Washington has avoided taking any position on the matter for now,
雖然華盛頓目前避免對此議題表態(tài)，
the U.S.might eventually prefer to see APEC become a mechanism to bind Pacific Rim nations into a NAFTA-style trade family.

ASEAN
東南亞國家聯(lián)盟
Lee Kuan Yew,the former Prime Minister of Singapore,explains that ASEAN thinks sanctions will not work.
新加坡前總理李光耀解釋說東南亞國家聯(lián)盟認(rèn)為制裁不會奏效。
"The ASEAN view,"he says,"is that if we boycott or condemn the government,we'll lose influence with it."
他說：“東盟的想法是假如我們以杯葛來譴責(zé)這個政府，我們就會失去對它的影響力。”
BIS
國際清算銀行
Every outsider looking at the U.S.economy writes the same prescription:
每個冷眼旁觀美國經(jīng)濟的局外人開的都是相同的藥方：
cut the government deficit,increase the savings rate,and wasteful subsidies of coddled industries
刪減政府赤字，提高儲蓄率，停止浪費錢在補貼保護(hù)產(chǎn)業(yè)——
like agriculture,increase investment in infrastructure.
如農(nóng)業(yè)上——以及增加基礎(chǔ)建設(shè)的投資。
Just last month the Bank for International Settlements-the central bank of the world's central banks-weighed in with precisely this advice.
就在上個月，央行中的央行——國際清算銀行——也做了同樣的忠告。
G-7
七大工業(yè)國集團(tuán)

coordinating economic policies,stabilizing Russia and rescuing free-trade-
協(xié)調(diào)各國經(jīng)濟政策，穩(wěn)定俄羅斯（政局）與拯救自由貿(mào)易，
but the actors seem far from up to their roles.
可是演員們似乎沒有意愿來扮演他們的角色。
The leaders of the world's seven biggest industrial democracies,the so-called G-7,did not mince words when Mikhail arrived to appeal for western assistance.
當(dāng)戈爾巴喬夫前來要求西方援助時，G-7也就是世界最大的七個民主工業(yè)國家的首腦們，坦白直言（他們對俄羅斯改革不滿意之處）。
The U.S.and E.C.will have still another try in time for the G-7 economic summit in July.
美國與歐盟在7月的七大工業(yè)國集團(tuán)經(jīng)濟高峰會前還有一次（解決的）機會。

北美自由貿(mào)易協(xié)定
Perot denounces NAFTA vehemently,
佩羅大力抨擊北美自由貿(mào)易協(xié)定，
even accusing lobbyists for the pact of "economic treason."
甚至指揮游說此一協(xié)定的人是“美國經(jīng)濟的叛徒”。
The country had been priding itself on its stability and relative prosperity,
這個國家一直為它的穩(wěn)定與較高的經(jīng)濟繁榮感到驕傲，
especially since President Salinas pushed through his six-year program of free-market economic reforms and Mexico joined the U.S.and Canada in the North American Free Trade Agreement.
