Passage 3
短文3
The US was founded by successive waves of immigrants, and immigrants are still contributing to America today. Statistics prove it. On two key measures of financial performance, immigrants outperform native-born Americans.
美国是由连续几波移民建立的，而今天，移民仍在为美国做出贡献。统计数据证明了这一点。在衡量财务表现的两个关键指标上，移民的表现优于美国本土出生的人。
First, they're more likely to be entrepreneurs. From 1996 to 2016, the pace at which immigrants started businesses was double that of US-born individuals. Immigrants aren't just becoming entrepreneurs more frequently; they're often succeeding.
首先，他们更可能成为企业家。从1996年到2016年，移民创办企业的速度是美国本土人士的两倍。移民不仅更频繁地成为企业家，而且他们往往能够成功。
Over 40% of Fortune 500 companies had a founder who was either an immigrant or the child of one. Another key measure of financial strength is debt level. Immigrants do better in this area too.
超过40%的《财富》500强公司的创始人要么是移民，要么是移民的后代。衡量财务实力的另一个关键指标是债务水平。移民在这一方面也表现得更好。
Immigrants use credit less often for purchasing cars, homes, or starting businesses. This results in significantly lower levels of debt than native-born Americans. For example, 34% of Americans born in Latin America report no credit card or installment loan debt, compared to just 19% of the general population.
移民在购车、购房或创业时较少使用信贷。这导致他们的债务水平显著低于美国本土出生的人。例如，34%的拉丁美洲裔美国人表示没有信用卡或分期付款贷款债务，而一般人口中这一比例仅为19%。
Why are immigrants doing so well? The values and habits they bring from their own homelands help explain some of the success. Unemployment tends to be higher in developing countries, which means more people must become entrepreneurs. Credit is also scarcer in most developing countries, which means individuals must save more in order to achieve their goals, or they borrow money from friends and family rather than a bank. That means less debt and potentially better credit outcomes when they reach the US.
为什么移民表现得如此出色？他们从自己祖国带来的价值观和习惯有助于解释部分成功原因。发展中国家的失业率往往较高，这意味着更多的人必须成为企业家。此外，大多数发展中国家的信贷也更为稀缺，这意味着个人必须存更多的钱才能实现他们的目标，或者他们向朋友和家人借钱而不是向银行借款。这意味着当他们来到美国时，债务更少，且信用状况可能更好。
