了解真实的美国：美国农业州对农业依赖程度有多高？（中英双语阅读）

The U.S. is an agriculture powerhouse, but the U.S. economy overall is highly diversified, such that agriculture accounts for only 0.83 percent of GDP. Farm states, though, live on in political consciousness as vital economic interests that must be accommodated in policymaking.

美国是一个农业强国，但其整体经济高度多元化，农业仅占GDP的0.83%。然而，农业州在政治意识中始终被视为至关重要的经济利益，在政策制定中必须予以关照。

Some states do have higher shares of their economic output in the agricultural sector, but even there, the percentages are low.

确实有一些州的经济产出中农业部门占比更高，但即便在这些州，该百分比也很低。

The state with the most agriculture-dependent economy is South Dakota, where agriculture’s share of GDP is 5.98 percent. That’s far higher than the second-highest, Arkansas, at 3.85 percent.

经济对农业依赖程度最高的州是南达科他州，其农业占GDP的份额为5.98%。这远高于排名第二的阿肯色州（3.85%）。

Iowa, the quintessential farm state that features in politicians’ minds because of its spot on the primary calendar, gets only 1.98 percent of its GDP from agriculture.

爱荷华州是典型的农业州，因其在总统初选时间表中的重要地位而备受政治家关注，但其农业仅贡献了GDP的1.98%。

The BEA’s Plains region (which consists of Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota) gets only 1.66 percent of its total GDP from agriculture.

美国经济分析局划分的平原地区（包括爱荷华州、堪萨斯州、明尼苏达州、密苏里州、内布拉斯加州、北达科他州和南达科他州），其农业总产值仅占该地区GDP的1.66%。

Iowa’s finance and insurance sector, which is seven times larger than its agriculture sector, is the fourth-largest of any state as a share of GDP, trailing only Delaware, New York, and … South Dakota.

爱荷华州的金融和保险部门规模是其农业部门的七倍，占GDP的份额在各州中排名第四，仅次于特拉华州、纽约州和……南达科他州。

Because agriculture takes up so much physical space and political space, people assume it must take up a lot of economic space as well. But even in the farm states, the U.S. economy is highly diversified and not dependent on any one industry, which is great for the people who live there.

由于农业占据了如此多的物理空间和政治空间，人们便想当然地认为它也必然占据很大的经济空间。但即使在这些农业州，美国经济也是高度多元化的，并不依赖于任何一个单一产业，这对于当地居民而言是件好事。
