LEE KUAN YEW; Senior Minister of Singapore: When the British came here in 1819; they found a fishing village of about 120 people。 When the empire broke up; everybody wanted to do their own trading; and we could easily have withered on the vine。 So we just had to make ourselves relevant to the world。 And the countries that make themselves relevant bee better off; their people bee better off。 Those who opt out; they suffer。
李光耀,新加坡高级部长:1819年英国人到达这里的时候,他们看到的是一个只有120人的小渔村。在英殖民帝国崩溃的时候,每个人都想进行他们自己的贸易,而我们可能会在这种情形下失败。所以,我们必须使自己成为这个世界的一部分。那些使自己相互关联的国家变的更加繁荣,他们的人民也更加富有。那些选择孤立在世界之外的国家则遭受到了痛苦。
NARRATOR: Since the 1970s; the countries of Southeast Asia had bee became worldclass exporters; shipping everything from cars to puters across the globe。

DANIEL YERGIN: They called it the Asian economic miracle because the world had not really seen that kind of economic growth; that many people brought out of poverty; that rapid a creation of a middle class so quickly anywhere in the history of the world。 DANIEL YERGIN:他们称之为亚洲经济奇迹,因为世界经济从来没有经历过如此的增长,许多人民脱离了贫困,中产阶级形成速度之快也是世界历史上从来没有过的。
NARRATOR: By the mid90s; many Asian economies were growing at the astonishing rate of 10 percent or more each year。
旁白:直到90年代中期,许多亚洲经济体都还在以令人吃惊的速度增长——年度增长率达10%甚至更高。
LEE HSIEN LOONG; Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore: There was a tremendous confidence and hope that this was the Asian century; and the place was being transformed; and you just had to put money there and it would grow on trees。
李显龙,新加坡副总理:人们非常自信地认为并希望这将是亚洲的世纪,这个地区正在转型, 你只要把钱放在这儿,接着树上就会长出钱来
DANIEL YERGIN: I remember the CEO of one major pany in about 1995 or so saying; ";If we"re not investing in Asia tomorrow; we"re too late。";
DANIEL YERGIN:我记得在大约在1995年有一位大公司的首席执行官说过:“如果我们明天还没有将钱投资在亚洲地区,我们就太迟了。”

旁白:日本经济曾一度看起来势不可挡,但是,在接纳这个快速移动、互相联系的世界所发生的迅猛变化的时候,日本动作缓慢。
EISUKE SAKAKIBARA; Vice Minister of Finance; Japan; 19971999: Japan is a very sort of parochial and very closed economy; there"s no question about it。 Walk around the Japanese cities; you don"t see many foreigners。
EISUKE SAKAKIBARA; 大藏省次长; 日本,19971999:日本是一个地域狭小的国家,经济非常封闭,这一点毋庸质疑。在日本城市中闲逛的时候,你不会看到很多外国人。
NARRATOR: Japan; the great exporter; protected its domestic industries。 At the heart of the country"s economic problems lay a contradiction。
旁白:最大的出口国——日本——对国内工业实施保护政策。在此国家的经济问题的中心存在着一个矛盾
EISUKE SAKAKIBARA: One sector of the Japanese economy is an exportoriented sector which is highly petitive; consisting of Toyotas and Sonys。 And the other is domestic manufacturing sector which is extremely unpetitive。 We have a marketoriented capitalistic system on the one hand; we have a very socialistic; egalitarian sector on the other。
EISUKE SAKAKIBARA:日本经济的一个部分是以出口为导向的产业部门,竞争非常激烈,包括丰田和索尼等公司。其它部门为国内制造产业,竞争极小。一方面,我们有以市场为导向的资本主义体系,而另一方面,我们也有社会主义的、平均主义的产业部门。
NARRATOR: In Japan; government bureaucrats managed a highly regulated economy。 As Masahisa Naitoh was to learn; ideas about change met with profound skepticism。

NARRATOR: Naitoh was fired without warning。 Japan stuck to its old ways; and the nation"s economic slump continued。 For the first time; an Asian ";economic miracle"; was in trouble。
旁白:Naitoh在没有收到任何预警的情况下就被解雇了,日本仍在墨守成规,其经济衰退仍在继续。亚洲的“经济奇迹”首次陷入困境之中。
