English term

But it is remarkable how limited it has been

English to Chinese Bus/Financial Finance (general)
Protectionism, inevitably, emerged in the years of crisis. But it is remarkable how limited it has been: look at the vigorous recovery of world trade in 2010. Why, then, has it been possible to resist protectionism? I would suggest five explanations.


But it is remarkable how limited it has been 这句是什么结构,应如何理解?

一直以来多么具有局限性是很明显的?

前面的it是形式主语,后面的how limited it has been 是真正的主语?

出人意外的是,它(贸易保护主义)的规模却十分地有限。

这个必须结合全文才能真正理解。这篇文章很容易搜到,原文中紧跟着“I would suggest five explanations.”的是具体的解释,内容大致如下:
1.自由贸易的发展很深远,各种机构都支持自由贸易
2. 全球货币和财政政策已大大改善
3. 全球范围内,资本已跨国化
4. 市场化和全球化的意识形态还是占主导地位的
5. 社会保障体系,使得失业变得不那么可怕

这5个理由都是削弱贸易保护主义的,所以很显然该怎么翻译就清楚了
