Africa rising非洲崛起After decades of slow growth, Africa has a real chance to follow in the footsteps of Asia经历数十年缓慢增长之后，非洲真正获得了追随亚洲的发展机会THE shops are stacked six feet high with goods, the streets outside are jammed with customers and salespeople are sweating profusely under the onslaught. But this is not a high street during the Christmas-shopping season in the rich world. It is the Onitsha market in southern Nigeria, every day of the year. Many call it the world’s biggest. Up to 3m people go there daily to buy rice and soap, computers and construction equipment. It is a hub for traders from the Gulf of Guinea, a region blighted by corruption, piracy, poverty and disease but also home to millions of highly motivated entrepreneurs and increasingly prosperous consumers.译文：商店里堆积了六英尺高的商品，外面的大街上顾客接踵摩肩，店员们忙着接待一波又一波的客人，挥汗如雨。然而这并不是富裕国家圣诞节购物季的大街，而是尼日尼亚南部的奥尼查市场，一年中每天如此。许多人称之为世界第一大市场。每天有多达300万人去那里购买大米、肥皂、电脑和建筑设备。来自几内亚湾的商人都云集于此。这里腐败猖獗，海盗横行，穷人遍地，疾病丛生，但是这里同时又汇聚了无数活跃的企业家和愈发富裕的消费者。Over the past decade six of the world’s ten fastest-growing countries were African. In eight of the past ten years, Africa has grown faster than East Asia, including Japan. Even allowing for the knock-on effect of the northern hemisphere’s slowdown, the IMF expects Africa to grow by 6% this year and nearly 6% in 2012, about the same as Asia.过去十年中，全球10个经济增长最快的国家中，非洲占了6席。其中有8年非洲比包含日本在内的东亚增长要快。即便考虑到北半球经济衰退的影响，国际货币基金组织预测今年非洲的增速为6%，2012年将接近6%，与亚洲大致相当。The commodities boom is partly responsible. In 2000-08 around a quarter of Africa’s growth came from higher revenues from natural resources. Favourable demography is another cause. With fertility rates crashing in Asia and Latin America, half of the increase in population over the next 40 years will be in Africa. But the growth also has a lot to do with the manufacturing and service economies that African countries are beginning to develop. The big question is whether Africa can keep that up if demand for commodities drops.非洲国家正在发展的制造业和服务业促进了经济增长商品交易繁荣是部分原
