今年经过修订的版本 — — 比往年更简短、分析结构更合理、文风条理清晰不夸张 — — 以某种方式反映了非洲自身的转型，因为它或许让我们最终看到了非洲大陆期待已久的经济发展的希望。
This year’s revamped publication – shorter than usual, analytically well-structured, and written in lucid prose, without hyperbole – in some ways mirrors Africa’s own transformation, as it raises hopes that we may at last be witnessing the continent’s long-promised economic arrival.
