The latest analysis of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences shows that the introduction of foreign capital has produced a tremendous influence on Shanghai’s development and the livelihood of its citizens. It predicts that Shanghai will witness an upsurge in direct investment from the world’s major economic powers from 2002. The rapid development over the past few years has made many believe that Shanghai is a sound port for international capital.
Statistics of the People’s Bank of China Shanghai Branch showed that， by the end of 2001， the number of overseas financial institutions in Shanghai had reached 65， of which 54 were foreign banks. The total assets， savings deposits and loan balance of foreign banks in Shanghai account for more than half of the total of foreign banks in China.

上海社會科學院①的一項最新分析表明，外資的加入對上海的發展和上海市民的生活產生了巨大影響。這項分析預測，從2002年起，世界主要經濟強國在上海的直接投資將急劇上升。過去幾年來突飛猛進的發展形勢使很多人相信上海是國際投資可靠的港口。
中國人民銀行上海分行的統據資料表明，到2001年年底，上海的海外金融機構達到65家，其中54家是外國銀行。上海的外國銀行的總資產②、儲蓄存款和貸款平衡差額③佔中國所有外國銀行總和的一半以上。到目前為止，世界排名前50位的銀行中有八家已經在上海建立了分行。
第三題：
The economic restructuring is conducive to the development of the poor areas. At this time when there is an increasingly fierce competition in both domestic and foreign markets， China is devoting major efforts to adjusting and optimizing its industrial structure. The developed regions， on the one hand， have quickened the pace of upgrading their industries and energetically developing capital- and technology-intensive industries. On the other hand， in order to improve the competitiveness of their industries， they are transferring some labor- intensive industries to the less-developed areas.
The poor areas， mostly situated in the central and western parts of China， have relatively rich resources and cheap labor. It is fully possible for the western region to import capital and technology， and accept transferred industries， so as to improve the position of poor areas in the division of regional industries and quicken the change of local industrial structure and economic development.

經濟結構調整①有助於貧困地區的發展。在國內外市場競爭日趨激烈的情況下，中國正在大力調整和優化②產業結構。發達地區一方面加快產業升級，大力發展資本技術密集型③產業。另一方面，為了提高產業競爭力，還將一些勞動密集型產業專案向不夠發達地區轉移。
中國的貧困地區大多地處中西部，資源相當豐富，勞動力成本低。西部地區完全有可能引進資本和技術，接受外來產業轉移，提高貧困地區在區域產業分工中的地位，從而加快本地區的產業結構轉換和經濟發展。
