English term or phrase: exercise
This BRICS alliance just added new members to the fold in the form of Egypt, Iran, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.
But looking at the performance of the four original members - Brazil, Russia, India, China - over the last decade is an interesting exercise -

Chinese translation:分析
Explanation:
In this context, where it implies analyzing or considering something carefully, a more suitable translation would be "一项有趣的分析", which literally means "an interesting analysis." This translation better captures the essence of reviewing and evaluating the performance of the BRICS nations over the last decade.

However, I suggest not translating "exercise" here as "But looking at the performance of the four original members - Brazil, Russia, India, China - over the last decade is interesting" is more idiomatic for Chinese translation.

Explanation:
四个创始国过去十年的表现很有意思。
interesting 常常被用作weird,ridiculous 一类贬义词的礼貌代用词。我想作者这里的意思是四个创始国都那样了,还有人上赶着加入,真有意思!
