The worldeconomy;Mountains to climb 世界经济;任重而道远 August was a nerve-racking month for the worldeconomy. September and October will be no better 对世界经济来说，八月是伤脑筋的一个月，而九月和十月经济形势也不见得好转。 Central bankers are not known for seeking solacein the heavens. But at their annual symposium inJackson Hole, organised by the Federal ReserveBank of Kansas City, the worlds leading monetarymavens could be found, after dinner, peering enthusiastically into telescopes set up by thelocal astronomy club. As he spied the M82 galaxy, 12m light-years away, one centralbanker remarked: That puts our problems into perspective. 央行行长不是因向天空寻求安慰而出名，但是由堪萨斯城美联储组织召开的杰克逊霍尔年度研讨会上，世界首席货币专家们在晚宴后，通过当地天文学俱乐部设置的望远镜满腔热情地凝望着天空。一位央行行长在找到离地球1200万光年的M82星系时说：这让我们全面看到我们的问题。 On the ground, though, those problems are as big as ever. Christine Lagarde, the newmanaging director of the IMF, voiced a collective sentiment when she said the worldeconomy found itself in a dangerous new phase. Things could get riskier still in the comingweeks. |
