To be sure, much more aggressive policy action (massive and unconventional monetary easing, larger fiscal-stimulus packages, bailouts of financial firms, individual mortgage-debt relief, and increased financial support for troubled emerging markets) in many countries in the last few months has reduced the risk of a near depression. That outcome seemed highly likely six months ago, when global financial markets nearly collapsed.
有一点可以肯定，那就是过去几个月内许多国家更为积极的政策行动（超越传统的巨额货币放松和对困难重重的新兴市场增加财政援助）已经减轻了很快陷入经济衰退的压力。这样的结果就在六个月以前似乎还非常可能，当时全球金融市场陷入到近乎崩溃的境地。
