The financial system may be more stable than it was five years ago, but that is a low bar – back then, it was teetering on the edge of a precipice. Those in government and the financial sector who congratulate themselves on banks’ return to profitability and mild – though hard-won – regulatory improvements should focus on what still needs to be done.
金融系统或许比5年前更加稳固了，但依然还是立在一根低单杠上——当年则是在悬崖边摇摇欲坠了。那些庆祝银行重新盈利以及温和——虽然来之不易——监管状况改善的政界和财经界人士应该把注意力放在那些依然需要完成的事情上。这个杯子最多不过是装了1/4水；而在大多数人眼中，还有3/4是空着的呢。
