Text

There is, of course, an irony associated with trying to measure globalization on a nation-by-nation basis. Even the least integrated countries are being drawn together by new forces beyond their ability to control, whether it is global warming, the spread of infectious diseases, or the rise of transnational crime. And some of the most significant aspects of globalization — the spread of culture and ideas — cannot be easily quantified. These and other challenges highlight the need for a closer and more refined examination of the forces driving global integration, not to mention further refinement of the tools used to measure it.

The main idea of the paragraph

Some factors drawing countries into globalization are beyond their ability to control, and some of the most significant aspects of globalization like the spread of culture and ideas are difficult to be quantified – these and other challenges underscore the need for a closer examination of the forces driving global integration and the need for further refinement of the tools used to measure it.

许多把各个国家引入全球化的因素是那些国家所无力控制的，另外，全球化的某些方面，如文化和思想也是无法量化的，这些以及一些其它的挑战凸显出需要更密切细致地审视驱动全球一体化的因素，也凸显出需要更进一步完善用于衡量全球化的工具。
