DREAMED up in the go-getting 1990s, the Port Klang Free Zone was supposed to turn a medium-sized harbour into a regional trans-shipment hub that might one day rival Singapore.

建设巴生港口自贸区的想法诞生于野心勃勃的90年代，按照设想，它将把巴生港这个中型港口发展成一个有朝一日能与新加坡相匹敌的地区转运中心。1999年5月，随着马来西亚逐渐走出经济衰退，该计划得到了政府的许可。10年之后的今天，又是一场经济衰退，这一大片填筑于沼泽之上的土地是空空如也，事实上早已停工倒闭了。

The calculation was on the basis of Excel and Statistica software. The results show that in East China Sea region the 10 main fisheries development have 4 periods: undeveloped, on developing, mature and senescent. It also shows that most of the 10 fisheries are in the periods of senescent, such as hairtail, large yellow croaker, filef...

结果表明：东海区主要种类渔业发展过程符合渔业发展的一般规律，即经历未开发、开发中、成熟和衰退 4个阶段，且主要种类如带鱼、大黄鱼、小黄鱼、马面等渔业大多处于成熟期或衰退期，从而预测其发展趋势，并提出必须加强渔业管理、控制捕捞强度等使渔业实现可持续发展的管理措施。

The overwhelming majority of soil physical, chemical and biological quality indicators increased incipiently and decreased subsequently with the increasing of dam land and terrace use years. They have been degenerate state and degradation will be lasted.

坝地和梯田绝大多数土壤物理、化学和生物学质量指标随着经营时间的延续均经历了先逐渐升高后缓慢降低的演变过程，现已处于衰退并将持续衰退的状态。

Hardest hit was the industrial Midwest; the Pacific Northwest, where the logging industry lagged from construction declines; and some states in the South, where the recession hit late.

以美联储前主席格林斯潘为首的多数人紧紧抓住9月份的住房开工率不放（现在看来只是统计数据的一时偏离），得出错误结论，认为住宅市场衰退的最坏时期已经过去。10月份美国住房开工率猛降15%，不仅证实了这个结论的错误，也反映出住宅市场的衰退还远远没达到最低点。

由于引种或取样的不足，容易导致被保存的物种缺乏足够的遗传代表性；盲目的引种、不合理的定植以及材料的来源不清则会导致稀有濒危植物的遗传混杂、近交衰退或杂交衰退；人为选择和生长环境的改变也容易造成濒危物种对迁地保护的遗传适应。

There were high positive correlations between activity of root and photosynthetic rate of flag leaf, ZRs content and activity in root, ZRs content and photosynthetic rate in flag leaf respectively.

根系活力的下降速度和叶片的叶绿素下降速度相比，根系活力的下降大于叶绿素的下降，根系活力的衰退先于叶片的功能衰退。

On closer examination, though, this is not a vote for multilateralism but just the opposite.

仔细审视后我们发现，这并非是对多边主义投出的赞成票，而是恰好相反。
