对话评估谈判。。。。accession 那个，我想，应该翻译成“入世谈判”吧，因为中国加入WTO,就可以用 chins's accession into WTO

seem to make sense as a response to the global downturn    在应对全球经济下行方面，似乎奏效。----仅供参考哈。。。

In addition to top-down number-crunching, HSBC also looked at expectations from the bottom up. Views it gathered from thousands of small firms involved in imports and exports support the optimistic outlook.

为了弥补自上而下数字处理的不足，汇丰银行也自下而上地绅士了数千家进出口小企业的贸易预期，结果肯定了上述的对未来贸易形势的乐观展望。

其实楼主“为了。。。不足”这样的话似乎有些翻译“过头”

An increasingly popular method nowadays is to strangle traders not with high tariffs, which are easy to spot, but with red tape, which is not.
眼下一种扼死贸易对手的新方法正逐步流行起来，不用高关税，因为这过于显眼，让难以觉察的繁文缛节搞死对手。

而今日益盛行遏制贸易的方法并非明目张胆的高关税，而是采用更为隐蔽的贸易壁垒形式即加重入关手续的繁杂程度。（仅供楼主参考）

曾在。。。繁盛一时
只需改为繁盛一时就可以了~

"making it harder to bring regional blocks together within a cohesive set of global trade rules."
我觉得 regional blocks 应该是“地区贸易区块”的意思。所以本句理解成：这使得用一组有凝聚力的世界贸易规则整合全球的地区贸易变得更难。

“But Mr Lamy’s outfit can do little about the biggest looming threat to free trade”
Mr Lamy's outfit 拉米的机构，应该就是指WTO，换个说法而已。

Until now the European Union’s single market, though far from perfect, has been a shining example of a sustained and determined effort to bring trade barriers down and of the benefits that brings.
但这一市场已俨然成为持续并坚定不移地削弱贸易壁垒并从中获益的璀璨例证。
这么长的定语翻得这儿简洁，真好~学习了~

我 ...

搜了regional block的定义，如下：“In general terms, regional trade blocks are associations of nations at a governmental level to promote trade within the block and defend its members against global competition.  Defense against global competition is obtained through established tariffs on goods produced by member states, import quotas, government subsidies, onerous bureaucratic import processes, and technical and other non-tariff barriers.

Since trade is not an isolated activity, member states within regional blocks also cooperate in economic, political, security, climatic, and other issues affecting the region.”

照此应指的是你说的意思，做了适当调改。谢谢

根据outfit的词义，不应为WTO，另外从语言风格上，没有人会把世界性贸易组织比喻为某个人的。故未采纳

赞成Nevergone89，这里指代WTO。

Governments often justify these steps as short-term remedies for particular problems. Subsidies for a hard-hit export sector, say, seem to make sense as a response to the global downturn. 这里的response用“应对”会不会比“回应”好？
不得不说，LZ把 a watchdog barks翻成“甄心动惧”实在是太赞了~
