    十赊不如一现。 伊朗领导人应当理会这一古语的智慧。

  2. The big lesson from all of this is captured by the familiar adage, “garbage in, garbage out.” If central banks continue to use the wrong models, they will continue to do the wrong thing.

    所有这些的大教训可以用一句人们耳熟能详的俗语来概括 : “ 垃圾输入,垃圾输出 ” 。 如果央行继续使用错误的模型,也将继续做错误的事。

  3. (As the old adage has it, banks only like to lend to those who do not need money.) Economic activity is thus even more volatile than commodity prices, and much of the gains made in a boom unravels in the bust that follows.

    l 其二,自然资源的价格具有波动性,而对于这种波动性的管理又十分困难。 投资者总是在时局很好的时候投入资金,而当时局不好时,比如说,能源的价格骤跌时,他们又会撤回资金。 (正如老话所说,银行只喜欢借钱给那些不需要钱的人。 )经济活动因此比商品的价格具有更强的波动性,繁荣时期所获得的收益正好可以抵消紧接下来的经济衰退。
