Unfortunately, $1.5 billion is little better than what charity could do – and still only a drop in the bucket compared to the extent of the damage. Worse yet, even this triple disaster often did not fit the definition of the seismic event defined by the bond indentures.
不幸的是，15亿美元跟国际捐助相比也是半斤八两——相对于地震所造成的破坏来说也只是杯水车薪。更糟糕的是，即便是那三大连环灾害也往往无法符合债券对地震相关灾害所做的定义。可见我们需要更大量且设计更完善的灾难债券。
