represent：代表
significant：顯著的，重大的
Gross Domestic Product（GDP）：國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值
譯文：國(guó)際貿(mào)易是跨越國(guó)家邊界和領(lǐng)土的資本、商品和服務(wù)的交換。在大多數(shù)國(guó)家，國(guó)際貿(mào)易額都占了國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值很大的一個(gè)部分。
2．課本：While international trade has been present throughout much of history, its economic, social, and political importance has been on the rise in recent centuries.
注釋：on the rise：上升
譯文：國(guó)際貿(mào)易幾乎在整個(gè)歷史中都存在，但是在近幾個(gè)世紀(jì)其經(jīng)濟(jì)，社會(huì)和政治上的重要性有所上升。
3．課本：Industrialization, advanced transportation, globalization, multinational corporations, and outsourcing are all having a major impact on the international trade system.

Industrialization：工業(yè)化
advanced transportation：先進(jìn)的運(yùn)輸
globalization：全球化
multinational corporations：跨國(guó)公司
outsourcing：外包
have an impact on ：對(duì)......有影響
譯文：工業(yè)化、先進(jìn)的運(yùn)輸、全球化、跨國(guó)公司和出口外包都對(duì)國(guó)際貿(mào)易體系有重要影響。
4．課本：International trade is a major source of economic revenue for any nation that is considered a world power.
注釋：economic revenue：經(jīng)濟(jì)收入；world power：世界大國(guó)
譯文：對(duì)任何一個(gè)世界大國(guó)來說國(guó)際貿(mào)易都是國(guó)家經(jīng)濟(jì)收入的主要來源。
5．課本：Without international trade, nations would be limited to the goods and services produced within their own borders.
注釋：be limited to：限定在
譯文：如果沒有國(guó)際貿(mào)易，各國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)活動(dòng)將只能限定在在本國(guó)境內(nèi)生產(chǎn)的貨物和服務(wù)。
二、國(guó)際貿(mào)易和國(guó)內(nèi)貿(mào)易的區(qū)別

注釋：costly：昂貴的，成本高的；domestic：國(guó)內(nèi)的
譯文：國(guó)際貿(mào)易比國(guó)內(nèi)貿(mào)易的成本更高。
【例題1.1】International trade is different from domestic trade, please point out which of the following descriptions is not right? （ ?。2009年真題]
A．International trade is more costly
B．International trade is less costly
C．International trade is restricted to trade in goods and services
D．International trade is also a branch of economics
【答案】B
【解析】B項(xiàng)與國(guó)內(nèi)貿(mào)易相比，國(guó)際貿(mào)易承擔(dān)更高地成本。原因在于：相對(duì)于國(guó)內(nèi)貿(mào)易，國(guó)際貿(mào)易涉及到關(guān)稅等稅費(fèi)。另外，由于語言、文化和法律制度等差異，導(dǎo)致國(guó)際貿(mào)易成本較高
