二、Translate the following English passage into Chinese.（15 分） The European debt problems that have disturbed global financial markets for the last 18 months are showing signs of turning into a far deeper challenge: Europe’s second recession in three years. Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain are already in downturns economically, or struggling hard to avoid them, as high unemployment, rising inflation, and low economic growth are predicted. Even prosperous Germany and France have started to be dragged down gradually. Goldman Sachs boldly predicted that both Germany and France would slip into recession, although other forecasts are less pessimistic. The International Monetary Fund is a little more optimistic, predicting growth of 1.3 percent next year in Germany. Hopefully, we have the means to manage the global crisis.
