This recognition raised expectations for the G-20 and granted it the prestige that it deserved: it is the only forum in which world powers and emerging countries sit as equals at the same table. The premise is clear: as the crisis made more evident than ever, the interdependence of countries is inescapable.
这种承认使人们对G20的期望大增，并赋予其应有的地位：这是唯一一个世界强国和新兴国家能平等对话的论坛。前提很明确：由于危机的影响比从前都更为显著，各国之间的互相依存已经成为无法回避的事实，况且也没有另外一条道路可供选择。但即便如此，在6月多伦多峰会上达成的协议却如此含糊其辞，令所有与会领导人心里都不是滋味。
