Fortunately, America has, at last, a president with some understanding of the nature and severity of the problem, and who has committed himself to a strong stimulus program. This, together with concerted action by governments elsewhere, will mean that the downturn will be less severe than it otherwise would be.
幸运的是，美国终于有了一位对问题的性质和严重性有一些了解的总统，他坚定不移地执行强有力的刺激计划。再加上其他国家的政府的协调一致的行动，这将意味着经济衰退的严重性将比可能出现的情况要低。
