Задание 6. Переведите на русский язык следующий текст, производя необходимые виды трансформаций. При переводе используйте материалы из задания 5.

The dollar’s decline is part of a much larger and more consequential rebalancing in the global economy, the impact of which will differ significantly from country to country. Because the United States are continuing to run a large trade deficit the depreciation of the dollar is largely unavoidable over the nearest future.

The impact of the fall will vary widely. At the moment, it is most acutely felt in Europe, where the Euro has surged to record levels against the dollar. No wonder European exporters complain of competitive pressures while European tourists are flooding the United States.

The phenomenon is less pronounced in Asia. There, ten Asian currencies have appreciated just 16 per cent against the dollar in the last five years. The resulting depreciation of Asian currencies versus the Euro has bolstered already-robust Asian exports.

How will a weaker dollar affect Americans? The most immediate impact of the dollar’s fall is being felt through the related surge in oil prices and other raw materials. These higher costs will result in declining profit margin, price inflation and greater pressure on wages. What explains these striking divergences among currencies and countries? The fact is that currency moves do not simply represent what ought to happen, but what governments allow to happen. For the last few years, Europe has allowed its currency to move freely in response to market forces. In contrast, certain Asian countries, led by China, have been reluctant to allow such flexibility, lest it disrupt the dynamics of a truly historic breakout phase in growth. This combination has meant that the Euro has done the bulk of the work in ensuring the dollar weakness.
