NEW HAVEN – In his First Inaugural Address, during the depths of the Great Depression, US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt famously told Americans that, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Invoking the Book of Exodus, he went on to say that, “We are stricken by no plague of locusts.”
纽黑文—大萧条最严重的时期，美国总统罗斯福发表了他的第一次就职演说，其中有一句名言，他告诉美国人，“我们唯一必须恐慌的是恐慌本身。”接着，他援引《出埃及纪》说：“我们没有遭遇蝗灾。”导致萧条的不是有形的东西；在1933年3月，问题出在人心上。
