Just as global imbalances were not built up overnight, nor will they be solved quickly. The aim of multilateral consultation was not to seek to solve imbalances in one fell swoop, but rather to solidify agreement on a medium-term approach that could reduce imbalances gradually over time.
正如全球的贸易不平衡不是一天内造就的，它也不可能很快得到解决。多边商讨的目的并不是为了一蹴而就地解决贸易不平衡，而是为了达成一个中期的解决方案，慢慢地减少贸易的不平衡。
