Speaker:
Considering the stock market and the economy. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board has been unable to reverse the faltering economy despite an unprecedented series of interest rate cuts. Congressional tax cuts haven’t helped either. The economic meltdown at the beginning of the century will now be partially blamed on terrorism, but the global recession was going to happen anyway. Governments are not more powerful than economic cycles. We should have known that from the 1930s.

曲 奇 饼， 嘉 士 伯
Butter cookies, Carlsberg
丹 麦 的 稀 奇 真 叫 多
Denmark has many wonders
哥 们 你 且 戴 好 那 安 全 帽
Brother, put your helmet on
咱 俩 一 起 飞 身 骑 上 自 行 车
And let’s have a bike tour!
前面是黄灯你可千万不要抢——
Be careful, the light turned yellow!
不 留 神 就 撞 上 了 老 部 长
Too late, you have already hit the old minister.

吧唧”摔 了 个 嘴 啃 泥
Pa–!” you fall down on the road
黑 乎 乎 的 柏 油 路 贴 上 肚
A belly-flop onto the dark asphalt
风 驰 电 掣 送 进 医 院
The ambulance is already parked besides you and you are safely taken to the hospital
吃 上 了 不 要 钱 的 每 天 三 顿 饭
And start enjoying the free meals

Speaker:
Global commerce thrives during peacetime. The economic boom in North America during the late 1990s was in large part due to the end of the Cold War and the opening of the formerly communist countries to the world trading system. However, we should also understand the important role that trade and international marketing play in actually producing peace.
