As more time passes with neither the value of the dollar declining sharply nor market forces beginning to shrink America’s current-account deficit – which may well reach $1 trillion this year – two diametrically opposed reactions are emerging.

美元价值不会急剧下跌，市场力量也无法缩小美国经常账户赤字，该赤字今年很可能达到10,000亿美元。随着时间的推移，出现了两种截然对立的反应。大多数国际金融经济学家越来越担心可能出现重大国际金融危机。确实，他们害怕该潜在危机的规模会越变越大。
