In recent days, Abe has raised serious questions about proceeding with the second phase of a previously legislated consumer-tax hike that has long been viewed as the linchpin of Japan’s debt-consolidation strategy. Abe has flinched because the economy remains weak, posing renewed risks of a deflationary relapse.
但其他两支箭射得摇摇摆摆。最近，安倍严重质疑此前已获立法通过的提高消费税措施的第二阶段，提高消费税一直被视为日本债务重组战略的关键。安倍之所以退缩，是因为经济仍然十分疲软，有可能导致通缩卷土重来。与此同时，第三支箭&mdash;&mdash;结构性改革，特别是税收、教育和移民改革&mdash;&mdash;距离目标也还相去甚远。
