Avoiding deflation – and thus sustaining economic recovery – would seem to depend on one of two scenarios: either a rapid reversal in the fall of energy prices, or a deliberate policy to raise output and employment by means of public investment (which, as a byproduct, would bring about a rise in prices). But this would mean reversing the priority given to deficit reduction.
避免通缩——以及维持经济复苏——看起来取决于两种情形之一：要么能源价格跌势迅速逆转；要么采取深思熟虑的政策，通过公共投资提高产出和就业（物价也会在此过程中上涨）。但这意味着减少赤字不再是重点。
