Gideon Long: 我主持了本次Marketplace晨报节目,报道了国际货币基金组织(IMF)下调全球经济增长预测的消息。IMF将全球经济增长预测从3.3%下调至2.8%,并指出特朗普总统的关税政策是导致这一结果的主要负面因素。 我们还报道了中国为刺激国内消费而推出的‘银色列车’项目,旨在鼓励老年人进行国内旅游。 Mariko Oi: 我在新加坡报道,就IMF下调全球经济增长预测一事发表了评论。我指出,IMF将中国的经济增长预测从4.6%下调至4%,这主要是因为特朗普政府实施的关税政策。这些关税政策对全球经济造成了负面影响,几乎所有国家都受到了影响。中国政府对IMF的预测结果表示了强烈的不满,并表示将采取反制措施。与其他亚洲国家相比,中国采取了更为强硬的立场,而其他国家则更倾向于与美国进行谈判。日本经济也受到了关税政策的严重打击,其经济增长预测被下调。 Stephen Macdonald: 我报道了中国为刺激国内消费而推出的‘银色列车’项目。该项目旨在鼓励老年人进行国内旅游,以促进地方经济发展。‘银色列车’专为老年人设计,提供卡拉OK和鸡尾酒等服务。这项计划的目标是将经济问题转化为经济解决方案,利用老年人的消费能力来刺激地方经济。虽然这项计划有潜力促进经济发展,但它并不能完全解决中国低消费支出问题。 Dr Huang Huang: 我是中国旅游研究院的研究员,就‘银色列车’项目的潜在影响发表了评论。该项目主要服务于经济欠发达的农村和城镇地区。‘银色列车’不仅在车上提供消费,还会带动游客到当地的旅游景点和传统村庄消费,这将对当地经济发展产生巨大的推动作用。

From the BBC World Service: The International Monetary Fund has cut its prediction for global economic growth from 3.3% to 2.8%. In its assessment, it describes President Donald Trump's tariffs as “a major negative shock to growth." Then, China is trying to stimulate its domestic consumption. One idea? "Silver trains." Designed for older people, and offering cocktails and karaoke, these tourism initiatives encourage retirees to travel more inside China.
