With recovery, both may recover to previous levels, and the 6%-of-GDP US external deficit will be back. In fact, there has been no change in relative prices or depreciation of the US dollar of a magnitude that would augur a permanent shift in trade and spending patterns.
随着经济的复苏，美国的出口和进口都有可能恢复到以前的水平，占美国GDP6％的国际收支赤字会再次出现。事实上，美元相对价格的变化，或者是美元的贬值，都没有达到足以预示国际贸易和消费模式会发生永久性转变的程度。
