Re: [論譯] 英譯中_than的句型？

※ 引述《oogu (a Who)》之銘言：

: 第一句的意思我懂，但是第二句不懂，有than的句型要怎麼翻譯比較妥當呢？

The rising power of the Chinese worker

相關的兩段前後文：（漏掉這 Furthermore 差很大；後面的 But 也很重要，因為
"normally" 才有解。缺這前後文會強迫想幫忙的人斷章取義）

Higher Chinese wages would also be good for the West. This may seem odd,
given how much the rich world has come to rely on cheap Chinese labour: by
one estimate, trade with China has added $1,000 a year to the pockets of
every American household, thanks to cheaper goods in the country's stores,
cheaper inputs for its businesses and stiffer competition in its markets.
Just as expanding the global labour force by a quarter through the addition
of cheap Chinese workers helped to keep prices down in the West, so higher
Chinese wages might start to export inflation. Furthermore, from the point of
view of the global economy, labour is a resource, like land or oil. It would
not normally benefit from the dwindling of China's reserves of labour any
more than from the drying up of Saudi wells.


Tomorrow’s global consumers

But in the wake of the financial crisis, things are different. Deflation is
now a bigger threat than inflation. And with 47m workers unemployed in the
OECD alone, labour is not holding back the global economy. What the world
lacks is willing customers, not willing workers. Higher Chinese wages will
have a similar effect to the stronger exchange rate that America has been
calling for, shrinking China's trade surplus and boosting its spending. This
will help foreign companies and the workers they have idled. A 20% rise in
Chinese consumption might well lead to an extra $25 billion of American
exports. That could create over 200,000 American jobs.
