德國模式有很多令人艷羨的地方。和諧的勞資關(guān)系一直是該國經(jīng)濟表現(xiàn)出眾的主要原因。公司可以放心投資，不必擔(dān)憂工會的要挾。政府則是通過為本國備受推崇的職業(yè)培訓(xùn)體系提供資助而發(fā)揮作用。

我的譯文

There are somewhere enviable in the German model. Harmonious relationship between employers and employees is always behind its outstanding economic performance. Enterprises can make investment? as they want, without worring threats from the Union. Government exert their functions by financing the renowned vocational training system nationwide.

經(jīng)濟學(xué)人原文

There is much to envy in Germany’s model. Harmony between firms and workers has been one of the main reasons for the economy’s outperformance. Firms could invest free from the worry that unions would hold them to ransom. The state played its part by sponsoring a system of vocational training that is rightly admired.
