今天的這段對話,在討論金融危機,
很多國家時常發(fā)生金融危機,誰該為金融危機負責呢
來聽今天的講解:
A: Hello, this is Aiste from Lithuania and Christophe from Belgium, and our question today is ... who is to blame for the financial crisis? Everybody's talking about that right now, so Christophe what is your opinion?
大家好,我是艾斯蒂,來自立陶宛,這是克里斯托夫,來自比利時,今天要討論的問題是,誰應為金融危機負責?現(xiàn)在所有人都在談論這個,克里斯托夫,你的看法是什么?
B: The Americans of course.
當然是美國人。
A: Americans! OK.
美國人!好。
B: Yes, because they were giving cheap loans to the people and then all of a sudden the cheap loans became very expensive loans. They couldn't pay off their loans anymore, and they had to sell their house: the bank owned their house, but there were so many people who had to sell their house to the bank or give away their house to the bank that all the banks ended up with having thousands of houses, so the price of the house dropped ... and then everybody was poor. What about you Aiste? Who do you think is to blame for the financial crisis?
對,因為他們給民眾提供低息貸款,然后突然低息貸款變成了高息貸款。人們無法再償還貸款,不得不賣掉房子,房子的所有權(quán)到了銀行手里,但是因為被迫將房子賣給銀行或交給銀行的人非常多,所以各家銀行最后有數(shù)千座房子的所有權(quán),然后房價開始下降,所有人都變窮了。你呢,艾斯蒂?你認為金融危機應該歸咎于誰?
A: Well, I don't really have a clear opinion. I think there are so many interrelated factors that are leading to it that I actually really don't know, but I really don't like because it is affecting, and you can feel the prices are going up, the currencies are unstable, and every day you can lose even a small amount of money that you have.
我沒有明確的看法。我認為有許多相關(guān)因素導致了金融危機,我不太清楚具體原因,不過我非常不喜歡,因為金融危機的影響很大,你能感覺到物價持續(xù)上漲,貨幣非常不穩(wěn)定,你手里的錢每天都在縮水。
B: I think you are also responsible for it because you don't buy enough. You always save your money to buy plane tickets.
我認為你也要為此負責,因為你的購買力不夠。你一直攢錢買飛機票。
A: Ok.
好吧。
