In this case, what is bad for economists is good for the world economy: we may be facing a mere episode of financial distress in the US rather than sky-high long-term interest rates and a depression. The fact that economists can’t explain it is no reason not to be thankful.
在这种情况下，经济学家眼中的坏事对世界经济而言却是件好事：我们面对的也许只是美国的金融衰退，而不是居高不下的长期利率和全球经济萧条。经济学家无法解释这样的现象，但却没有理由不为此感到庆幸。
