As recently as three years ago, many observers thought that the Fund had outlived its usefulness and should be closed down. Since then, it has intervened in Hungary, Latvia, Iceland, and Ukraine, among other crisis-stricken countries – and has received a massive infusion of new resources.
伯克利 —— 许多人说，国际货币基金组织（ IMF ）也曾遭遇过一场危机。仅仅在三年前，颇有一些观察家认为，它已经失去作用，可以关门大吉了。但是后来，它先后介入了匈牙利、拉脱维亚、冰岛和乌克兰以及其他一些爆发危机的国家，并得到了新一轮大规模注资。
