摘要：The World Bank¡¯s central mandate and corporate mission is to fight
poverty. Toward this end, the Bank provides finance, knowledge, and
advice to borrowing member countries, while attempting to tailor the
particular mix of these instruments to the challenges facing each country. The
Bank also helps to address global and regional issues, such as environmental
threats and communicable diseases, but its primary focus remains at the
country level¡ªhelping people to lift themselves out of poverty.
