U.S. readies massive toxic-debt plan

Sep 20, 2008 By Patrick M. Fitzgibbons
NEW YORK (Reuters)
[1]The U.S. government is preparing to mop up hundreds of billions of dollars in bad mortgage debt, after curbing short-selling and guaranteeing mutual funds in an effort to stabilize financial markets.
美国政府正准备祭出大手笔，为总额数千亿美元的抵押贷款坏账埋单。此前，政府对市场卖空行为进行限制，并出台措施支持货币市场基金行业，旨在稳定金融市场。
[2]The moves cap a week in which financial markets faced their most serious confluence of crises since the Great Depression in the 1930s and threatened national economies and the worldwide banking system.
[2]在过去的一周，金融市场遭遇了自上世纪30年代“大萧条”以来最严重的多重危机，并危及国民经济和全球银行系统。
[3]"It's like having a heart attack, and you go and get your chest cracked open and get it fixed, but the next morning you're still hurting," said Warren Simpson, managing director at Stephens Capital Management in Little Rock, Arkansas. "This has been a beast of biblical proportions. Nobody has seen anything like it."
[3]位于阿肯色州小石城的斯蒂芬斯资本管理公司的总经理沃伦•辛普森说：“这就像犯了一次心脏病。你去医院做了开胸手术，治好了病，但第二天早上你还是会感到疼。”“这就像是圣经里才能见到的大猛兽一样。任何人此前都没见过。”
[4]Lawmakers promised fast action on the toxic-debt plan, which two banking industry sources put in the $500 billion to $800 billion range. A Treasury spokeswoman declined comment.
[4]国会议员承诺要迅速采取行动解决抵押贷款坏账问题，两名银行业消息人士称这将耗资5000亿到8000亿美元。财政部的一位女发言人拒绝对此置评。
[5]The government brought out the big guns to tackle the financial crisis.

[6]The U.S. government has pledged more than $1 trillion to prop up the financial system and housing market.
[6]美国政府曾承诺会对金融系统和楼市注资1万亿美元。
[7]"The problems were critical, both in the credit markets and with banks," said Blake Howells, director of equity research at Becker Capital Management in Portland, Oregon. "The government is trying to stop a domino effect of more institutions failing, and taking others down."
[7]位于俄勒冈州波特兰的贝克尔资本管理公司的股票研究负责人布莱克•豪厄尔斯说：“信贷市场和银行的问题都很严重。政府正试图阻止会导致更多机构倒闭的多米诺骨牌效应。”
