美國加州已超越法國成為全球第六大經濟體
California is now the sixth-largest economy in the world, surpassing France, thanks to a robust state economy and strong U.S. dollar.
由於當地經濟增長強勁、美元走強,加利福尼亞州現已超越法國,成為世界第六大經濟體。California was the world's eighth-largest economy in 2014, Irena Asmundson, chief economist of the California Department of Finance, said in a phone interview last Friday. That's slightly larger than France's gross domestic product.
在上週五的一則電話採訪中,加州財政部首席經濟學家伊雷娜·艾斯門德遜表示,該州2015年的地區生產總值達到2.46萬億美元。這一數字略高於法國同期的國內生產總值。France is the world's seventh-largest economy with a growth domestic product of $2.42 trillion, and India is the eighth-largest with $2.09 trillion, according to the latest International Monetary Fund data.
根據國際貨幣基金組織的最新數據,法國是世界上第七大經濟體,國內生產總值達到了2.42萬億美元,印度是第八大經濟體,國內生產總值達到了2.09萬億美元。
The only countries with higher GDP output than California now are the US as a whole, China, Japan, Germany and the UK.
目前,GDP產出高於加州的國家只有美國、中國、日本、德國和英國。California is home to diverse strong economies, including Silicon Valley and Hollywood. Manufacturing and agriculture have performed well despite a severe drought, Asmundson said.
艾斯門德遜表示,加州擁有強勁、多元的經濟,包括硅谷和好萊塢。儘管遭遇嚴重的乾旱,但該州的製造業和農業表現良好。According to Bloomberg, California is home to four of the 10 largest companies in the world, including Facebook and Google parent company, Alphabet Inc.
據彭博社報道,全球最大的10家企業中有4家總部位於加州,其中包括臉書和谷歌的母公司Alphabet。The most populous U.S. state has outpaced the rest of the country on job growth, California's finance department said in its June bulletin. Gross state product was $2.46 trillion in 2015, with 4.1 percent of growth in real terms, it added.
加州財政部門在其6月公報中指出,加州的就業增長為全美最高,並稱加州2015年GDP為2.46萬億美元,實質增長4.1%。U.S. gross domestic product grew by 2.4 percent in 2015. Growth slowed to 0.8 percent in the first quarter of 2016.
