20年前,香港是东南亚的重要工业城市。现在,它已悄悄地变成一座服务业城市,工业(当地称作制造业)已从本地生产总值中的龙头老大降到第三位;贸易业从20年前的第二位上升到第一位;金融业从过去的第三位上升到第二位。70年代工业一度占本地生产总值的30.9％,1991年降到15.5％,而包括贸易、金融、运输等业的服务业已占到84.2％。 Twenty years ago, Hong Kong was an important industrial city in Southeast Asia. Now that it has quietly become a service city, industry (locally called manufacturing) has dropped from the leader in GDP to third place; trade rose from the second place 20 years ago to the One; the financial industry rose from third place to second place. Industry once accounted for 30.9% of GDP in 1991 and dropped to 15.5% in 1991, while service industries including trade, finance and transportation accounted for 84.2% of the total.
