新加坡：作为美国的判断典范 (做企业网站就到网站自选超市)
Singapore: A Model of Judgment for the United States?
In fact, I'd argue that in many ways Singapore is a great example for the United States. Why? Here are a few reasons:
1. Singapore is a hardworking, disciplined country. It decides what it needs to do, and then does it. Every year for National Day, for example, the government publishes a list of challenges it needs to overcome. The list of challenges is enormously appealing in its clarity(n.清晰) and directness.
2. Singapore is obsessed with(v.占据、充满) education — not just for children, but throughout life. The country tops the ranks of educational achievement regularly. While it was once justifiably(adv.有理由的) criticized for emphasizing rote(n.死记硬背) learning, it has introduced programs that encourage creativity.
3. Singapore is a highly capitalist society, but its government plays a strong guiding role. The government creates industrial policy and actively facilitates growth and capability-building(n.能力建设) in those areas. It did a masterful（adj.有权威的）job emphasizing IT and building up that industry, and now it's actively pushing biotech and services.
4. Like the US, Singapore is a highly diverse society, with lots of citizens with Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Arab backgrounds. Yet they all seem to get along pretty well, and the country's culture is greatly enriched by the diversity.
5. Singapore invests heavily in infrastructure — housing, roads, IT, airport. 83% of its citizens live in public housing, but it's clean and well-maintained(维护良好). Buses and subways are clean and run on time.
6. Singapore's economy is doing pretty well. It does anticipate a decline in GDP of about 5% this year, but there are signs of a strong recovery. Its stock market is booming. Its banks didn't go crazy with subprime(adj.次一级的) lending or bizarre derivatives([金融]衍生产品).
我认为，在许多方面，新加坡可以作为美国的好榜样。为什么呢？这里有几个原因。
1．新加坡是一个勤劳，有纪律的国家。它决定了自己要去做的事，然后执行。例如, 每年国庆节，政府公布需要克服的挑战清单。这个清单清晰且直接，具有很强的关注度。
2. 新加坡注重教育 --- 不单是为儿童，而且贯穿终身。这个国家的教育成就经常名列榜首。 虽然其死记硬背的教育体制曾被无可非议地批评过，但它也有引进鼓励创新的课程。
3. 新加坡是个高度的资本家社会，但其政府扮演了强大的引导角色。 政府制定工业政策， 并积极促进这方面的增长和才能培训。 它注重信息技术，在扶植该产业的建立上也发挥了精湛的控制力。现在新加坡还在积极推动生物技术和服务业。
4．像美国、新加坡是多元民族社会。许多市民有中国，印度，马来西亚，阿拉伯国家的背景。他们似乎相处得很好，使这个国家有丰富的多元民族文化。
5．新加坡投入大量的基础设施---住房，道路，信息技术，机场。83%的市民住在公共住房，很干净而且维护得很好。公共汽车和地铁也很干净和准时。
6。新加坡的经济状况很好。它预计今年国民生产总值有约5%的下跌， 但是有强复苏的迹象。 它的股票市场也蒸蒸日上。银行也没有因为次级抵押贷款和不常规的衍生金融产品而失去理智。
