Of course, those who dreamed of a Bretton Woods&nbsp;II were disappointed. But the original Bretton Woods framework was not built in a day; indeed, the 1944 conference was preceded by two and a half years of preparatory negotiations, which is probably the minimum needed to decide such weighty issues.
当然，那些冀望建立“布雷顿森林体系 II”的人就大失所望了。但原来的“布雷顿森林体系”的建立也非一日之功；的确，在1944年的那次会议之前是长达两年半的准备性谈判。这可能是要在这些重量级问题上做出决策的起码前提。而最近的G-20峰会是在几乎没有任何真正意义上的前期准备的情况下召开的。
