中国三公司进入世界500强前十
Fortune Magazine has released its annual list of top global 500 companies. Wal-Mart Stores secures first position, and three Chinese companies broke the top 10.
《财富》杂志公布了2010年世界500强名单(《财富》杂志每年都会对此进行评选)。沃尔玛稳居榜首,3家中国公司也跻身前十。
Under the stress of the financial crisis, Wal-Mart did well to knock Royal Dutch Shell out of the top slot into second place. Three Chinese companies - Sinopec, State Grid and China National Petroleum - all gained spots in the top 10.
沃尔玛顶住了经济危机的重压,把皇家荷兰壳牌石油公司挤到了身后的第二位。3家中国公司-中石化,国家电网和中石油-均在前十争得了一席之地。
China's dominance is thanks to the global financial crisis, which badly affected the U.S. and Europe. Unemployment rose sharply in the U.S., Europe and Japan, and their companies couldn't sustain the high profit gains of 2009. But China boosted their companies with a better business environment, created by economic stimulus plans.
全球经济危机致使美国和欧洲国家的经济受到严重影响,这也是今年中国企业在世界500强中异军突起的原因之一。在美国,欧洲各国和日本,失业率蹿升,本国企业难以维持2009年的高额利润。而中国的经济刺激计划为本国企业创造了相对更好的商业环境,促进它们的发展。
