Particularly, I want to talk about the factors leading to declines in domestic demand.Equity markets in developing countries around the world have suffered large decreases in value since mid-September 2008, reflecting a global credit crunch and a worldwide flight to safety among investors.These declines are expected to cause a number of effects that will dampen domestic demand, especially personal consumption and corporate investments. Although equity market investments only constitute a small percentage of overall household wealth and equity financing consists of relatively a small portion of corporate investment in Asia-Pacific as compared with developed countries, the declines will affect the more advanced economies of the region, such as the republic of Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong of ChinaSecondly, declines in property markets will further dampen domestic demand. The reduction in housing prices will have an effect on real estate investments, which have played a particularly important role in the growth of domestic demand in a number of countries--most notably in China, where the property sector accounts for about one quarter of all investment.Private consumption will also be affected by the fall in property prices, particularly in the more advanced economies in the region, where property assets account for a more significant portion of household wealth.Thirdly, reduced bank lending is the most significant factor curtailing corporate activity and domestic demand.The concern here is that an increase in non-performing loans will result in greater restraints on and a reduction in new lending, leading to possible higher costs for new borrowers. Increased borrowing costs may in turn add further pressures resulting in a greater number of corporate defaults参考译文：今天，我主要谈一下这次亚太地区金融危机带来的主要影响，即内需下降。
我特别想谈论导致内需下滑的主要原因。
自2008年九月中旬以来，世界范围内的发展中国家股票市场的市值都大幅缩水，这反映出全球性的信贷紧张，投资人纷纷撤离资金，以求自保。
证券市场的预计会对内需产生不少影响，抑制内需，特别是个人消费和企业投资方面。
虽然在发展中国家，个人和机构在证券市场的投资比重比在发达国家小，但该市场的不景气会影响到改地区内一些较发达的经济体，例如韩国、新加坡以及中国香港。
其次，房地产市场的低迷会进一步减少内需，房价下跌将影响房地产业的投资，而在该领域的投资对于一些发展中国家内部需求的增长具有重要的拉动意义。
尤其是在中国，其房地产的投资占国内总投资的1/4.（译文1：由于房价的下跌，个人特别是在房屋上投资较多的个人将减少消费。
）（译文2：个人的消费也将受房价下跌的影响，特别是在那些较发达的个人在房产上投资较多的区域。
）第三，银行信贷收紧会直接影响企业投资以及内需。
需要注意的是不良贷款的增加会使银行收紧信贷，会使贷款成本上升，进而增加公司的压力，甚至导致更多的不良贷款。
四、英汉互译（文章汉译英60分）我今天的发言题目是：“基督教在西方民主政治发展中的作用。
”我认为：西方民主是在自身文化的历史进程中形成和发展的，其中宗教，特别是基督教始终起着独特的复杂作用。
作为官方意识形态的基督教教义，整体上并不是革命的，但这并不排斥其关于平等和法治的一些教义曾经起到的积极作用。
它在经过民主革命者改造和利用以后，有利于鼓舞人们推翻封建专制的暴政，捍卫人民的自由权利。
而且，在现代推进民主事业的过程中，基督教的不同派别，包括天主教，东正教和新教所起的作用并不相同。
西方国家在宗教和政治文化上的差别，对于其民主进程也有相当的关联作用。
The topic of my speech today is “The role of Christianity in the Development of western Democracy and Politics”.I hold the view that western democracy and politics come into being and develop within a context of its own culture.Religion, especially Christianity, has been playing a unique and complicated role.Generally speaking, official doctrines in Christianity do not emphasize on revolution. However, its preach for equality and rule by law played a positive role in history. Being reformed and utilized by democratic revolutionists, it inspires people to fight against feudal tyranny and in turn safeguards their freedom. In addition, different branches of Christianity, namely Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox and Protestantism play different roles in the advancement of modern democracy. Different cultures also lead to different types of democracies among western countries.。
