The Evolution of the British Economy since the War The evolution of the British economy since WWII falls into three periods:二戰(zhàn)后英國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展可分為三個(gè)階段:(1) Steady development in the 50s and 60s: The British economy in this period is characterized by slow but steady growth, low unemployment and great material prosperity with rising standards of consumption.（1）戰(zhàn)后5060年代平穩(wěn)發(fā)展時(shí)期。其主要特點(diǎn)是經(jīng)濟(jì)緩慢而持續(xù)增長(zhǎng)，失業(yè)率低，物質(zhì)豐富，人民消費(fèi)水平不斷增長(zhǎng)。(2) Economic recession in the 70s: In the 1970s among the developed countries, Britain maintained the lowest growth rate and the highest inflation rate, and the high record of trade deficits. （2）70年代經(jīng)濟(jì)滯脹。在70年代，英國(guó)在所有的發(fā)達(dá)資本主義國(guó)家中，始終保持最低經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)率，最高的通貨膨脹率，和最高的貿(mào)易赤字紀(jì)錄。(3) Economic recovery in the 80s: An outstanding feature of the economic recovery in the 80s was its length, lasting seven years. Another was the improved financial position of the government, with stronger current account of the balance of payments.（3）80年代經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇。一個(gè)顯著特點(diǎn)是時(shí)間長(zhǎng)，復(fù)蘇持續(xù)了7年。另一個(gè)特點(diǎn)是國(guó)際收支大大盈余，政府金融地位最高。Measures taken by Mrs. Thatcher39。s government to improve the economyMrs. Thatcher39。s government took numerous measures to improve the efficiency of the economy during the past decade, using both macroeconomic and microeconomic policies.撒切爾政府運(yùn)用宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)政策和微觀經(jīng)濟(jì)政策，采取許多措施提高經(jīng)濟(jì)效益。(1) Macroeconomic measures were directed towards bringing down the rate of inflation and achieving price stability.宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)政策直接針對(duì)降低通貨膨脹率和維持物價(jià)穩(wěn)定。(2) Microeconomic policies were aimed at working with the grain of market forces by encouraging enterprise, efficiency and flexibility.微觀經(jīng)濟(jì)政策旨在通過(guò)鼓勵(lì)實(shí)業(yè)，效率和靈活性共同努力提高市場(chǎng)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力。Reasons for the British coal mining is called a “sick” industry today.

Today Britain is not only selfsufficient in oil but also has a surplus for export. The transport and domestic heating systems mostly depend on oil. So does the food supply, because most agriculture is highly mechanized. Modern farming requires things which are all oilbased.在1965年及1970年在北海發(fā)現(xiàn)天然氣和石油。今天英國(guó)的石油不僅能自給自足，還有盈余供出口。交通和家庭供熱系統(tǒng)主要依靠石油，因?yàn)榇蟛糠洲r(nóng)業(yè)的高度機(jī)械化，食品供應(yīng)也靠石油。Main problems associated with Britain’s iron and steel industry today.The main textile producing regions of Britain are the East Midlands, Yorkshire, Humberside, and Northern Ireland.New IndustriesNew industries include microprocessors and puters, biotechnology and other hightech industries.
