In other words, the US is telling investors to carry their own guns, because, as in the Wild West, there might not be a sheriff around to help. But frankly, as we are reminded by recent events, it is hard to see how at least a small increase in transparency can hurt.
换句话说，美国是在告诉投资者们拿起他们自己的枪，因为在狂野的西部，不会有一位警官在旁边帮你的忙。但是坦率地说，正如最近的事态所提醒我们的那样，我看不出稍微增加一点透明度会造成什么伤害。作为今年八国集团主席国的德国不应该在这个问题让步。没有哪个国家愿意让自己任由埃迪之类的人摆布。
