As if to prove Meade wrong, the Mauritians have increased per capita income from less than $400 around the time of independence to more than $6,700 today. The country has progressed from the sugar-based monoculture of 50 years ago to a diversified economy that includes tourism, finance, textiles, and, if current plans bear fruit, advanced technology.
似乎是为了证明米德是错的，毛里求斯人的年均收入从独立时的不足400美元提升到如今超过6700美元。该国从50年前以制糖为主的单一经济转化成为一个涵盖旅游、金融，纺织以及高科技（如果最近的相关计划成功的话）的多元化经济结构。
