消費,是經濟學中的永恒話題。據悉,我國第十一個五年規劃中特別指出:“要進一步擴大國內需求,調整投資和消費的關系,增強消費對經濟增長的拉動作用?!敝袊洕鲩L再一次向“消費拉動”轉軌。
中國日報的相關報道如下:After more than 25 years of economic growth driven by exports and fixed-asset investment, China is turning towards consumption to sustain the boom.
A survey noted a trend of moderate price drops in major consumer goods such as electrical appliances and automobiles, saying this would prod consumers to look forhigher-end products.
報道中的high-end product指的是“高端產品”。所謂“高端”,顧名思義,就是“高級”、“層次較高”的意思。比如,“高端市場”,high-end market,意思就是針對的消費群體消費層次相對較高。
報道說的是:我國主要消費品的價格出現下跌趨勢,這將刺激消費者去購買一些更為高端的產品。句中的pod值得注意,可解釋為stimulate。
