Ⅴ、Translate the following paragraph into Chinese. 30%
(1) This isn’t the first time Singapore’s leaders have asked citizens to go forth and multiply for the good of the
nation. (2) In the early nineteen-eighties, the then prime minister, Lee Kuan Yew, a man who says what he
means, said it was the duty of every Singaporean to do their bit and it was important the well educated had as
many babies as the less educated to maintain economic standards. (3) Now the current Prime Minister, Goh
Chok Tong (吳作棟), in trying to address Singapore’s declining birthrate, has shied away from similar language
but nonetheless made it clear that the island state’s population was shrinking to unacceptable levels. (4)
Singapore is one of the most prosperous countries in the world and the fear, of course, is that falling birthrates
might lead to a skills shortage. (5) As well as the baby bonus scheme, Prime Minister Goh says his government
is to encourage more immigration as a way of bringing in more talent and he cited America as a country whose
economic strength was based on letting in skilled foreign workers.
