美国加州已超越法国成为全球第六大经济体
California is now the sixth-largest economy in the world, surpassing France, thanks to a robust state economy and strong U.S. dollar.
由于当地经济增长强劲、美元走强,加利福尼亚州现已超越法国,成为世界第六大经济体。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.
在上周五的一则电话采访中,加州财政部首席经济学家伊雷娜·艾斯门德逊表示,该州2015年的地区生产总值达到2.46万亿美元。这一数字略高于法国同期的国内生产总值。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.
根据国际货币基金组织的最新数据,法国是世界上第七大经济体,国内生产总值达到了2.42万亿美元,印度是第八大经济体,国内生产总值达到了2.09万亿美元。
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产出高于加州的国家只有美国、中国、日本、德国和英国。California is home to diverse strong economies, including Silicon Valley and Hollywood. Manufacturing and agriculture have performed well despite a severe drought, Asmundson said.
艾斯门德逊表示,加州拥有强劲、多元的经济,包括硅谷和好莱坞。尽管遭遇严重的干旱,但该州的制造业和农业表现良好。According to Bloomberg, California is home to four of the 10 largest companies in the world, including Facebook and Google parent company, Alphabet Inc.
据彭博社报道,全球最大的10家企业中有4家总部位于加州,其中包括脸书和谷歌的母公司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.
