The banking system has just been tested to see if it is adequately capitalized – a “stress” test that involved no stress – and some couldn’t pass muster. But, rather than welcoming the opportunity to recapitalize, perhaps with government help, the banks seem to prefer a Japanese-style response: we will muddle through.
银行系统刚经受了一场资本状况的考验——一场没有压力的“压力”考验——有些银行没有及格。但是，这些银行并不乐意抓住机会，在政府可能给予的帮助下调整资产结构，而是倾向于采取一种日本式的态度：我们能将就。
