2001年考研英语一阅读真题翻译如下：
原文：
The decline in real income and purchasing power over the past few years has been a significant factor in the current economic downturn. The increase in the cost of living has outpaced the rate of wage growth, leading to a decrease in the standard of living for many people. This situation has been exacerbated by the recent economic downturn, which has led to widespread layoffs and unemployment. As a result, consumer spending has decreased, further contributing to the economic slowdown.
翻译：
在过去几年里，实际收入和购买力的下降是当前经济衰退的一个重要因素。生活成本的上涨超过了工资增长率，导致许多人的生活水平下降。这种情况由于最近的经济衰退而加剧，导致大规模裁员和失业。因此，消费支出减少，进一步加剧了经济放缓。
