If such growth rates continue, we will see relatively poor countries like India, Indonesia, the Philippines, or Nicaragua reach the average levels currently enjoyed by advanced countries in 50 years. But, of course, they will not have caught up with these countries, for those countries will have moved ahead too.
如果保持这样的增长速度，印度、印尼、菲律宾或 尼加拉瓜等较穷的国家就可以在50年内赶上目前发达国家的水平。不过当然，它们还无法赶上发达国家，因为这些国家也在向前发展。
