次贷风暴 cìdài fēngbào subprime storm
金融危机 jīnróngwēijī financial crisis
雷曼兄弟公司 léimàn xiōngdì gōngsī Lehman Brothers
救市 jiùshì to rescue the market
最近不知道这世界怎么了！美国次贷风暴引发金融危机，雷曼兄弟公司倒闭了，政府出巨资救市，我看也是白搭，关键是人们无力偿还贷款，这无底洞美国政府能填得平吗？
zuìjìn bù zhīdào zhè shìjiè zěnme le ！Měiguó cìdài fēngbào yǐnfā jīnróngwēijī ，léimàn xiōngdì gōngsī dǎobì le ，zhèngfǔ chū jù zī jiùshì ，wǒ kàn yě shì báidā ，guānjiàn shì rénmen wúlì chánghuán dàikuǎn ，zhè wúdǐdòng Měiguózhèngfǔ néng tiándepíng ma ？
I don't know what's wrong with the world lately! The American sub-prime loan meltdown led to the financial crisis, Lehman Brothers went bankrupt, the government is laying out a ton of money to save the market-- the way I see it, it's all for naught. The key thing is that people aren't able to pay back their loans. Will the American government be able to fill this bottomless pit?
我看情况不妙。政府现在救市是亡羊补牢，已经晚了。不过美国好多债券都在我们中国人手里，这下可把我们害惨了。
wǒ kàn qíngkuàng bùmiào 。zhèngfǔ xiànzài jiùshì shì wángyángbǔláo ，yǐjīng wǎn le 。bùguò Měiguó hǎo duō zhàiquàn dōu zài wǒmen Zhōngguórén shǒu lǐ ，zhè xià kě bǎ wǒmen hài cǎn le 。
I think the situation is grim. The government's closing the barn door after the horse has left, trying rescue the markets now. It's already too late. But a lot of American debt is in Chinese hands. This could really hurt us badly.
那也可能是机会呢。新闻上说美联储现在积极鼓动中国资金收购美国资产，我们可以借机成为世界经济的龙头。
nà yě kěnéng shì jīhuì ne 。xīnwén shàng shuō měiliánchǔ xiànzài jījí gǔdòng Zhōngguó zījīn shōugòu Měiguó zīchǎn ，wǒmen kěyǐ jièjī chéngwéi shìjièjīngjì de lóngtóu 。
Maybe it's an opportunity. On the news, they're saying that the American Federal Reserve is actively encouraging the use of Chinese funds to buy up American properties. We can use this crisis to become world economic leaders!
我看咱们是泥菩萨过江，自身难保。你看股市从六千点跌到一千多点，都说股市是国家经济的晴雨表，中国经济基本面还是不错的，可股市怎么那么不争气呢？我的血汗钱全打了水漂。哎，我现在连饭都吃不下。
wǒ kàn zánmen shì nípúsàguòjiāng 。nǐ kàn gǔshì cóng liùqiān diǎn diē dào yīqiān duō diǎn ，dōu shuō gǔshì shì guójiā jīngjì de qíngyǔbiǎo ，zhōngguó jīngjì jīběn miàn hái shì bùcuò de ，kě gǔshì zěnme nàme bù zhēngqì ne ？wǒ de xiěhànqián quán dǎ le shuǐpiāo 。ai ，wǒ xiànzài lián fàn dōu chī bu xià 。
I think we're like a clay Buddha crossing a river: hard-pressed to save even ourselves. Look at how the stock market fell from six thousand points to just over a thousand. Everyone says that the stock market is the barometer of a national economy. The Chinese economy is fundamentally alright, but how can the stock market be doing so poorly? All my hard-earned money has been wasted! Agh, I can't even eat!
