但问题并不是赤字以及债台高筑——那是由经济危机以及经济衰退带来的不可避免的结果造成的——而是缺乏方案来让赤字以及债务降低。
Events such as the financial crisis and climate change are not quirks of the marketplace, or quirks of nature. They are not inevitable events in the up-and-down cycle of human history.金融危机和气候变化等事件并非市场作乱或大自然播弄的结果,它们并不是人类起伏不定的历史中不可避免的事件。
Health had no say in the policies that led to the financial crisis or made climate change inevitable. But the health sector will bear the brunt of the consequences.卫生部门对导致金融危机或使得气候变化变得不可避免的政策并无发言权,但却首当其冲,承受其恶果。
