I propose a third, more speculative reason why it may be time to stop worrying about the US current-account deficit. It is possible that, properly measured, the true deficits were smaller than has been reported, and even that, in some years, they were not there at all.
我提出了第三个更具猜测性的原因解释为何或许应该停止担心对美国经常项目赤字的担忧。若以恰当手段测算，美国真实赤字或许比报告的要小，甚至在有的年份中根本没有经常项目赤字。
