   01 经济学人原文  Australia andimmigration G'day, goodbye The country is trying to slashimmigration 【1】AUSTRALIA HAS long claimed to be the world's most successful multicultural country. Immigrants have increased its population by more than a third this century, to over 26m. The promise of sunshine and well-paid work first drew European migrants; now more come from China and India. This has never triggered a major populistbacklash: most Australians have welcomed the newcomers with open arms. But now their tolerance is being tested. 【2】The cause is a massive recent influx. Net migration, a measure of immigrants minus emigrants, passed 500,000 in the year to July 2023. That was double the prepandemic level-and added more than the population of Canberra, Australia's capital, to the national total. The huge increase has coincided with a housing crisis, which is being widely blamed on immigrants. The “social licence” for migration is fraying, admits the centre-left Labor government of Anthony Albanese. In December it pledged to halve the annual immigration rate over the next two years. 【3】The social licence rests on a trade-off. For two decades both major parties have pushed border security as a means to stop asylum-seekers, or "boat people", while letting in ever-more skilled workers and students. Net migration more than doubled between 2ooo and 2019, fuelling some of the fastest rates of population growth in the OECD, a club mainly of rich countries. That fuelled a growth spurt-until a long covid-19lockdowntriggered a recession and left Australia short of workers. 【4】After it threw open its borders in November 2021, the influxresumed. And Australians have started to grumble. They are not throwing up fences, exactly. In a survey last year 78% said immigration made their country stronger. But most of them would prefer less of it: two polls in December found that around 60% think the current intake is too high. The percentage of Australians who rank immigration as their biggest worry more than doubled, to 13%, between September and December, according to Freshwater Strategy, a pollster. 【5】The cost of housing is a big reason. Property prices have soared despite high borrowing costs, and Australia faces a chronic shortage of rentals. A lack of building is the main cause, but both major partiesconcede that high immigration is exacerbating the problem. “We've got a generation of Australians who can't even get into a rental...it is not the time to be running very large migration programmes," said the home-affairs minister, Clare O'Neil. 【6】Mr Albanese pledges to cut immigration to a "sustainable level". His government plans to reduce net migration to a roughly pre-pandemic level of 235,000 by 2027. According to Abul Rizvi, a former deputysecretary of Australia's Department of immigration, this is the first time an Australian government has set such a target in spite of the obvious risk to growth. 【7】The cuts may be less drastic than they sound. immigration was in line to fall anyway, as a backlog of pandemic-era applications is cleared. Still, the government promises a “crackdown”, particularly on visas for students, the biggest migrant cohort. The government says many are gaming the system by enrolling in dud courses. 【8】Is a more populistdebatebrewing? That is unlikely, says Nick Biddle of the Australian National University. Australia's skills-based migration system gives priority to people with the qualifications it needs. That lessens the usual griping about wage competition from low-skilled migrants. Politicians are also wary of alienating the third of Australians who were born outside the country. Both partiesmaintain that Australia is a “beautiful multicultural country”, as Ms O'Neil puts it. For now, this still sets Australia apart. 02 段落大意  【1】目前澳大利亚对移民的忍耐力正在经受考验。 【2】人们将住房危机归咎于移民，政府承诺在未来两年内将年移民率减半。 【3】社会许可制度推动移民井喷式增长，但新冠疫情的长期封锁导致劳动力短缺。 【4】2021年11月开放边境后，移民再次涌入，澳大利亚人已经开始抱怨了。 【5】住房成本是一个重要原因。 【6】阿尔巴内塞承诺将移民减少到“可持续水平”。 【7】随着疫情时期积压的申请被清理掉，移民人数将会下降。 【8】澳大利亚仍然将是一个“美丽的多元文化国家”。 03 短语  1.原文：The promise of sunshine and well-paid work first drew European migrants; now more come from China and India. 词典：well-paid薪金优厚的，高薪的 例句：Kate was well-paid and enjoyed her job. 凯特薪水很高，工作很开心。 2.原文：The huge increase has coincided with a housing crisis, which is being widely blamed on immigrants. 词典：coincide with与……相符，与……一致，同时发生 例句：The strike was timed to coincide with the party conference. 那次罢工选择在召开政党大会的同一时间举行。 词典：blame on归咎于 例句：You can't put all the blame on him.
