葡萄牙這個(gè)國(guó)家存在自卑情結(jié)嗎

今天的這段對(duì)話，在討論自卑情結(jié)，
 
有很多人都有自卑情結(jié)，國(guó)家之間也會(huì)存在嗎
 
來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:
 
A: So Ana, I was wondering, are you familiar with the term inferiority complex?
 
安娜，我想知道，你熟悉自卑情結(jié)這個(gè)詞嗎？
 
B: Yes. I think I've heard it before.
 
熟悉。我以前聽(tīng)到過(guò)。
 
A: Well, you know, sometimes when a person feels he is not quite as good as other people at something then he can feel inferior or not as good. But this is also true for countries sometimes. For example, if there's a very small country and it's next to a very big country, such as Portugal and Spain, would you say that's the case in your country?
 
你知道，有時(shí)一個(gè)人會(huì)感覺(jué)在某件事上他不如其他人做得好，他就會(huì)感到自卑，或是感覺(jué)自己不是太好。我想對(duì)國(guó)家來(lái)說(shuō)也同樣如此。比如，如果一個(gè)非常小的國(guó)家有一個(gè)非常大的鄰國(guó)，就好像葡萄牙和西班牙的情況，你認(rèn)為你們國(guó)家的情況是這樣的嗎？
 
B: Yeah, that's interesting. I think that's definitely the case in our country. Spain is a big country and in terms of the economy, they have been doing a lot better than Portugal recently. And actually, we're starting to get a lot of products from Spain. So things that used to be produced nationally before, now are being imported from Spain.
 
對(duì)，這很有趣。我認(rèn)為這完全就是我們國(guó)家的情況。西班牙是一個(gè)大國(guó)，從經(jīng)濟(jì)上來(lái)說(shuō)，他們最近的表現(xiàn)比葡萄牙好很多。實(shí)際上，我們已經(jīng)開(kāi)始從西班牙進(jìn)口大量產(chǎn)品。以前國(guó)產(chǎn)的一些產(chǎn)品，現(xiàn)在都要從西班牙進(jìn)口。
 
A: I see.
 
我知道了。
 
B: And also in terms of other things like banks, a lot of our major banks in Portugal are Spanish now. And a lot of Portuguese students are moving to Spanish universities because the education is better there.
 
就銀行來(lái)說(shuō)，現(xiàn)在葡萄牙境內(nèi)的許多主要銀行都是西班牙銀行。還有許多葡萄牙學(xué)生選擇去西班牙大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)，因?yàn)槲靼嘌赖慕逃谩?br />  
A: Really. But you have some very old universities and a very old tradition or academic tradition in Portugal as well then, do you?
 
真的嗎？可是葡萄牙也有歷史悠久的大學(xué)和學(xué)術(shù)傳統(tǒng)，對(duì)吧？
 
B: Yes, we do. And actually, our universities are full but I think the problem is that they're not growing enough, so there aren't enough places for Portuguese students in our universities. So many of them are moving to Spain. It's very interesting but also a little bit sad that we can't provide the education that these students need nowadays.
 
對(duì)，沒(méi)錯(cuò)。實(shí)際上，葡萄牙的大學(xué)人滿為患，我認(rèn)為問(wèn)題是葡萄牙大學(xué)的增長(zhǎng)速度不夠快，導(dǎo)致沒(méi)有太多地方供葡萄牙學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)。所以，許多學(xué)生前往西班牙求學(xué)。這雖然很有趣，但同時(shí)也令人難過(guò)，因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)在我們不能為這些學(xué)生提供他們需要的教育。
 
A: I see. If you look at Portugal on the map, you can see it's much smaller than Spain. What about the population? How many people live in Portugal?
 
我明白了。在地圖上看的話，可以看到葡萄牙比西班牙小很多。葡萄牙有多少人口？有多少人生活在葡萄牙？
 
B: I think we have about eleven million people.
 
我想葡萄牙大概有1100萬(wàn)人。
 
A: Eleven million people.
 
1100萬(wàn)。
 
B: Yeah. So it's not very big. But actually, it might have changed in the last few years because so many Portuguese people are moving to other countries around the world. Since the credit crash and everything that's been happening with the economy, there haven't been a lot of jobs in Portugal.
 
對(duì)。人口不是很多。不過(guò)這是過(guò)去幾年所發(fā)生的改變，因?yàn)橛性S多葡萄牙人搬到世界其他國(guó)家去生活了。在信貸危機(jī)和經(jīng)濟(jì)崩潰以后，葡萄牙的工作機(jī)會(huì)變得非常少。
 
A: All right. I read a story in the newspaper of the – was it the minister of foreign affairs or the minister of the economy in Portugal advised young people, young Portuguese people to leave the country and find jobs elsewhere because there are no jobs for young Portuguese people. Is that true?
 
好。我在報(bào)紙上看過(guò)一篇報(bào)道，好像是葡萄牙的外交部長(zhǎng)還是經(jīng)濟(jì)部長(zhǎng)建議葡萄牙年輕人離開(kāi)葡萄牙，去其他地方找工作，因?yàn)槠咸蜒罌](méi)有工作提供給年輕人。這是真的嗎？
 
B: Yes. That was a big scandal actually because, yeah, the government recommended young Portuguese people to move to other countries when in fact we think that they should be creating jobs in Portugal for new people.
 
對(duì)。這實(shí)際上是一起大丑聞，因?yàn)檎ㄗh葡萄牙年輕人去其他國(guó)家生活，可實(shí)際上我們認(rèn)為葡萄牙應(yīng)該創(chuàng)造新的工作崗位。
 
A: So people were quite angry. So how was that? What were the people's reactions?
 
所以人們非常憤怒。是這樣嗎？人們有何反應(yīng)？
 
B: I think people were quite angry. It's a reality though. So many young people are moving overseas. But we understand that at this point, it's more of a survival instinct and we should go if we want to get a job.
 
我想人們的確非常生氣?？墒沁@就是現(xiàn)實(shí)。所以許多年輕人搬到去國(guó)外生活。現(xiàn)在我們理解了，這是一種生存本能，如果我們想找到工作，那我們就得離開(kāi)。
 
A: And then maybe – do young people who leave the country want to come back and work in Portugal again when the economy is better?
 
那在經(jīng)濟(jì)好轉(zhuǎn)以后，離開(kāi)的年輕人還想回到葡萄牙來(lái)工作嗎？
 
B: Yes, I think so. I think most people want to go back to Portugal but I think we might have to wait a few years before things are back on track.
 
想，我是這樣認(rèn)為的。我認(rèn)為大多數(shù)人都想回到葡萄牙來(lái)，可是讓一切都重回正軌，我們可能還需要幾年的時(shí)間。
