If the IMF fireman remains idle, it is not because of a lack of fires, but because neighbors, rather than relying on the fire brigade, are protecting themselves. This undermines the IMF’s relevance and is at the root of the early repayments that have left the Fund with almost no income.
如果国际货币基金组织这个消防员继续无所事事，这不是因为没有火灾，而是因为邻居们在自己保护自己，而不是依靠消防员。这削弱了国际货币基金组织的在这类问题上的相关性，并且是使国际货币基金组织几乎没有收入的提前还款的基础。
