大求助!!!求英语达人帮助!!! 1. Global Financial Instability Expected to Continue A leading expert on economic development and poverty alleviation says the panic that followed the eruption of the financial crisis last year is probably over. But he warns global financial instability is likely to go on for years because nations have only come up with short-term remedies and have not addressed the structural changes needed to reform the economic system. The director of the Earth Institute, Jeffrey Sachs, says the panic phase of the current crisis is probably over, as is the fear that the world economy could fall into a depression. But while nations have managed to avoid the worst, he says the global economy remains on average very bad, with the poorest countries living on the edge of survival. Sachs blames the financial crisis on a disastrously bad monetary policy and disastrously poor financial regulation. "The crisis has its epicenter in Wall Street. If I had to point to one clear trigger of this crisis, it was the emergence of a ... completely failed and inappropriate credit default swap market, which went from zero to $62 trillion in seven years without a single regulator paying attention to it. And, that CDS market, the Credit Default Swap Market, was a kind of fairy dust that was sprinkled over the world financial system to make believe that toxic assets were safes," said Sachs. He says it is unclear whether governments will get a properly regulated system that will be safer for everybody. He also expresses his disdain for the multimillion-dollar bonuses corporate executives receive and fears this practice will continue. Sachs is a strong proponent of environmentally friendly technology. When the financial crisis hit last year, he says many people looked forward to a so-called green recovery. He says they thought increased investment in new technology aimed at climate change mitigation and environmental conservation would salvage the global economy.   "This has not occurred. There has been no green recovery. There has been no significant investment in renewable energy sources. No major increase in sustainable infrastructure. What has happened is that the panic has been broken through very expansionary monetary and fiscal policies, but not through structural change," Sachs said. He says governments have not come up with real structural change that can give a perspective over the course of years and decades. He says there are no coherent policies linking the macroeconomics, the environmental concerns, and the development concerns. Therefore, he says the world economy remains highly unbalanced and highly fragile. 2. Serious Debate Begins on Future of US Health Care System The American health care system has been called one of the best and worst in the world. Many experts say it is certainly the most expensive, costing $2.5 trillion a year or about $7,000 to $8,000 per person. Most Americans pay for their medical care through private insurance, which is partially subsidized by their employers. Elderly Americans receive health care largely paid for by a government trust fund that may eventually run out of money. An estimated 30 million others - a majority of them considered the working poor - have no health insurance at all. Here's our report on some of the causes for a health care system in crisis.Wanting it all
咱在空吧的首次发文:《夏之殇》(娜坦姐说还好)= = 夏之风,伴随着阵阵蝉鸣,飘散在大地之上。 夏风,没有春风的温柔,也不同于秋风般的孤寂和冬风的凛冽。夏风,应该可以说是温馨吧。 然而,并不是夏风所至之处即是温馨。 那是帝国最北端,废弃的村庄。 空旷的土地之上,只能听见夏风拂过树叶的沙沙作响之声。 只有悲伤二字,才能够形容那片土地吧。 村庄尽头,树立着一块石碑。一眼即能看出那是块墓碑。 黑发的少年,就静静的伫立在石碑面前。 少年拥有着俊丽的容貌,只是,在迷人的琥珀色眼眸中,却流露出与少年年龄不符的悲哀。 手中捧着的白花,花瓣的边上,还挂着点点露珠,就如同泪珠,顺着圆滑的边缘,徐徐的滑落,溅起了些许尘土... 夏风吹过纯白的花瓣,阵阵摇曳,白花在此时显得如此艳丽,如此清新——在这荒凉土地的衬托下... 少年抬头仰望天空。 那高耸晴朗的天空。 充满光辉的天空。 明明是这样晴朗,却有大颗的雨滴洒落下来。 那温暖的夏之雨。 像是某人的泪水般的雨滴…… ...................................... 少年从梦中醒了,刚才的一切已不复存在,只能隐约听到窗外风过树梢之声与不时地蝉鸣。“果然,只是梦...”少年低语着,利索地下了床。口琴——她留给自己惟一的东西,还是安静地躺在书桌上。真是毫无实感的梦...,少年这般想着,却紧紧握住了手中的口琴... “约修亚,你怎么了...?”突然,不知何时醒来的少女还在用迷糊的语气说。 少年暗自惊讶,(果然一直让人出乎意料啊,艾丝蒂尔。那么隐秘的行动,竟然能发现...)然后尽量用自然的语气说道:“艾丝蒂尔,抱歉把你吵醒了,我只是有点睡不着。”说着,一边轻轻放下了口琴。 “唉~,你啊...”,少女叹了一口气,同样麻利的下了床,凑到你少年跟前“要我说多少次,我可是观察约修亚的第一人,你的心思我还看不出来么?”少女似乎有点洋洋得意。 还是什么都瞒不过她呢,少年心里苦笑。他转向了窗边,用降低不少的声音说:“刚才,我又梦见哈梅尔了...” “是么...”少女的声音也是如此。 房间里一下子安静了,安静得让人难受。只有蝉鸣,再此时显得分外响亮... “呐,约修亚,吹口琴给我听吧~”少女首先打破了沉默。 “现在?可是现在是半夜...”少年又有些惊讶。 “嗯,老爸现在不再家里,附近又没人,没事啦~走,去外头。”说完少女就拉着少年往外走。 “真拿你没办法...”少年有些无奈,但是顺着少女向外走。 两人来到外面的走廊上,夏夜之风迎面吹过,让人感觉彷佛被飞舞而降的纯白羽毛给抓住一般... “那你要听什么呢?”少年恢复了以往的声音。 “嗯...还是那个吧...”少女稍稍想了一下就回答了。 “是《星之所在》吧,真是的,到现在还是记不住。”少年皱了下眉头,但声音似乎没有什么不悦。 “嘿嘿~”少女只是笑了笑。 “那么,演奏开始了。” 少年闭上双眼,开始静静地吹走奏... 少女在一旁安静地倾听... 此刻,风似乎也停止了流淌,空气中,只有悠扬的旋律在飘荡... 一曲完毕,风再次轻拂过两人。 “现在听了,还是那种悲伤的意境...”少女低声说。 “...”少年沉默着,并没有说话。 少女缓缓地走向前,轻轻地环抱住少年。 “喂,喂,艾丝蒂尔...”少年有些慌乱,轻轻挣扎了下。 “约修亚,就现在一会儿。你能不能依靠我一下...?”少女温柔地说。 “...”少年依然没有回答,只是同样慢慢地环抱住少女。 “呐,约修亚...我,能够帮你消除那份悲伤么...”少女说得很轻。 “...也许吧。”少年再次闭上双眼,这般低语。 ——————这份伤痛,或许谁都无法弥补... 夏夜之风,依然吹过,静谧的月光之下,拥抱的两人显得格外温馨。 只是,也许没有谁知道,那份随风飘散的悲哀...
