英语圈实力不减:唱衰英语者醒醒吧

汉语圈势头强劲，排名第二，但GDP只占全球15%多一点。相比之下，印度在全球GDP中所占的比例为5.4%。

The Anglosphere’s per capita GDP is more than 5 times that of the Sinosphere, and 13 times that of India.

英语圈的人均GDP相当于汉语圈的5倍，是印度的13倍。

Although the Sinosphere has experienced explosive growth in the number of companies large enough in revenue terms to make the FORTUNE Global 500 list, it still has a long way to go in terms of having big global companies which are also widely admired for their innovation, their values, governance and management style.

虽然汉语圈按公司收入能跻身《财富》世界500强的大企业在数量上经历了爆炸性的增长，但想要拥有在创新、价值观、公司治理、管理方式等各方面都广受尊重的大型跨国企业，该地区还有很长的路要走。

Due in part to educational and legal infrastructure (e.g. intellectual property protection), the Anglosphere is home to the vast majority of the world’s software, biotech, and aerospace companies – industries where R & D and innovation are crucial elements of success.

考虑到教育和法律基础建设（如：知识产权保护）的缘故，世界主要软件、生物技术和航天企业多选择在英语圈落户，因为这些行业的成功很大程度上取决于研发和创新。

In countries lacking an adequate intellectual property rights protection regime, for example, companies will not invest the huge sums required to develop big new high-tech products. The current estimated average investment in R & D to develop a major new pharmaceutical product is in the range of US$1 billion.
