'Two Faces of Asia' Test Future of Development Bank (1/2) ( 本次听写约162词 )

Dictation:

The Asian Development Bank was created in 1966, two years after the African Development Bank. Today both of them are talking about needed reforms to better serve their nember countries. Last month, we looked that issues in Africa where there is still wide-spread need for development aid.
The situation is different from the Asia-Pacific area. The Asia Development Bank was created to ratesraise money from rich industriousindustrial nations for loans to support economic growth. Now they are surpluses in Asia, and less and less need for those loans.
Rajat Nag is managing director general of the bank, recordwe called him in Manila 马尼拉(菲律宾首都) , he says the bank is debating how to deal with the two faces of Asia.
Economic growth in many countries has been great. 10% a year in China, for example. The bank's menbers have about 2 trillion dollars in savings that could be invested. Yet more than 600 million people in Asia are still without clean water.

Translation:

亚洲发展行创建于1966年,即非洲发展行建行2年后。目前两行正在商讨改革事宜,使其成员国得到更优质的服务。上月,我们了解到现阶段非洲还需要发达国家广泛的发展援助。这种情况与亚太地区大相径庭,亚洲发展行创建的初衷是通过向富有的工业国贷款来发展其经济,随着亚太地区经济的快速发展,亚行也逐渐减少借贷,相反,资金还有盈余。
我们电话连线了在马尼拉的亚行总裁Rajat Nag,他说亚行目前正在商讨如何应对亚洲的两面性。
许多国家的经济增长持稳,如中国经济的年增长率为10%。亚行成员国平均有2万亿美元的可投资资金。然而在亚洲仍有超过6亿的人口缺少纯净的生活用水。
