NEW YORK – In the last year, we endured a remarkable experience; after the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in September 2008, financial markets actually collapsed and required artificial life support. Nothing like this had happened since the Great Depression of the 1930’s.
纽约——去年，我们有了一段刻骨铭心的经历，随着2008年9月雷曼兄弟的破产，全球金融系统实际上已经崩盘，仅仅靠着人工输血才勉强维持。这应该是20世纪30年代大萧条以来最为严重的局面。
