Thus far, the quality of our choices has been unimpressive, reflecting little sensitivity to sustainability and the impact of our choices on future generations. As a result, many developed countries have built up dangerously large public debts and even larger non-debt liabilities, owing to unsustainable growth patterns.
迄今未知，我们的选择的质量并不令人信服，并未体现出多少对可持续性和我们的选择对子孙后代所造成的影响的顾忌。结果，许多发达国家囤积了非常危险的巨额债务和比债务还要巨大的非债务负债，而这些都是由不可持续的增长模式造成的。
