　　Rising Chinese labour costs are changing the economics of global manufacturing and could contribute to the creation of 3m jobs in the US by 2020, according to a study being released on Friday.

　　周五發(fā)布的一份報(bào)告稱，中國勞動(dòng)力成本持續(xù)上漲正在改變?nèi)蛑圃鞓I(yè)的經(jīng)濟(jì)格局，在2020年前可能為美國創(chuàng)造300萬個(gè)就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)。

　　The Boston Consulting Group analysis says the new jobs will be generated by a “re-shoring” of manufacturing activity lost to China over the past decade.

　　波士頓咨詢集團(tuán)(Boston Consulting Group)的這份報(bào)告稱，過去十年間流向中國的制造業(yè)活動(dòng)將開始“回流”，從而增加美國的就業(yè)。

　　“Re-shoring is part of a broad trend that will emerge as ... production gradually swings back to the US,” Hal Sirkin, a senior partner at the consultancy, told the Financial Times.

　　該咨詢機(jī)構(gòu)高級(jí)合伙人哈爾?西爾金(Hal Sirkin)向英國《金融時(shí)報(bào)》表示：“隨著生產(chǎn)逐漸轉(zhuǎn)移回美國，回流將成為未來一個(gè)廣泛趨勢的組成部分。”

　　The Boston Consulting Group estimates that the trend could cut the US’s merchandise trade deficit with the rest of the world, excluding oil, from $360bn in 2010 to about $260bn by the end of the decade. The shift would also reduce its soaring deficit with China, which reached $273bn in 2010 and has triggered an intense political controversy over China’s exchange rate policies.

　　波士頓咨詢集團(tuán)估計(jì)，在2020年之前，這一趨勢將導(dǎo)致美國商品貿(mào)易逆差從2010年的3600億美元，收窄至2600億美元左右。美中之間持續(xù)擴(kuò)大的逆差也將隨之收窄。2010年，美中貿(mào)易逆差達(dá)2730億美元，引發(fā)了一場圍繞中國匯率政策的激烈政治爭議。

　　“While Chinese labour costs are rising, US competitiveness has been improving,” says Mei Xu, the Chinese-born co-owner of Chesapeake Bay Candle, which makes candles and other home fragrance products. “We can invest in automation to make our candles in a factory near Baltimore for a similar cost to doing the same job in China.”

　　千詩碧可(Chesapeake Bay Candle)是一家生產(chǎn)蠟燭及其他家用香薰產(chǎn)品的公司，在中國出生的徐梅是該公司的老板之一。徐梅表示：“中國勞動(dòng)力成本正在上漲，而美國的競爭力則在不斷改善。在巴爾的摩附近進(jìn)行蠟燭自動(dòng)化生產(chǎn)，成本與在中國大致相當(dāng)。”
