Though Rouhani has made little headway combating rampant inflation, small business and the entrepreneurial middle class seem to be thriving. In early June, I found a recently opened complex of expensive restaurants opposite the new luxury Grand Hotel in Shiraz packed with affluent customers.
尽管鲁哈尼在治理肆虐的通胀方面收效甚微，但小企业和创业中产阶级表现出蒸蒸日上之势。6月初，我看到在设拉子（Shiraz）新开张的豪华的大饭店（Grand Hotel）对面开出几家高尚餐馆，顾客盈门。
