He said open trade is the best way to help the struggling global economy. Zoellick delivered his blunt assessment at a World Trade Organization meeting in Geneva on Monday. 　　世界银行行长佐利克敦促美国带头推动停滞的多哈回合自由贸易会谈。他说，开放贸易是拯救陷入困境的全球经济的最佳办法。佐利克是在世界贸易组织总部日内瓦发表了上述他对多哈回合会谈的坦率评价。 　　Zoellick said practically everybody in the world is in dire economic straits. He noted Europe is struggling with the eurozone. The United States is bogged down with debt and deficits, and is in desperate need of a growth strategy.

Zoellick has invested a lot of his time and his capital as a trade negotiator in Doha. He helped launch the Doha Round of free-trade talks in 2001, and remains deeply disappointed that 10 years later an agreement remains elusive. 　　这个问题问比答简单。佐利克作为多哈的贸易谈判人员投入了许多的时间和金钱。他协助发起2001年多哈回合自由贸易会谈，他对10年后一项协议都没拍板定案感到非常失望。 　　Agriculture continues to be the main stumbling block to a deal. The developing countries are demanding the United States and European Union cut their farm subsidies. But the United States and European Union are calling on developing countries and e
