For South Korea as a whole, that seems as much a prophecy as an ambition. Like Japan in the 1960s, the country is poised for an assault on the world’s export markets. Its surging $81 billion economy is churning out a flood of increasingly sophisticated products, from shoes, toys and telephones to video recorders and microprocessors. Korea’s mighty conglomerates dominate Middle East construction, and they command key shares of the world’s shipbuilding, textile and steel industries.
【正确答案】：对整个韩国来说,那似乎既表示一种预示,也表示一种雄心。如同20世纪60年代的日本一样,这个国家正准备向世界出口市场发起攻击。该国迅速崛起的拥有810亿美元的经济正在源源不断地生产出大量日趋先进的产品：从鞋类、玩具和电话机到录像机和微信息处理机。韩国实力雄厚的跨行业公司支配着中东的建筑业,并控制着世界的造船业、纺织业和钢铁工业的主要股份。
