填空题 Translate the following English passage into Chinese.(对外经济贸易大学2011研,考试科目:基础英语)BANKS have endured a brutal nine months since credit markets froze in August. Losses and write-downs already total $335 billion: many of their best businesses have disappeared. In developed economies, almost all banks are facing economic and regulatory headwinds that will cut revenues and jobs. Yet the biggest danger facing Western finance is not a fall in its earning power but a loss of faith in how it works.Two criticisms assail the industry, one based on fairness and the other on efficiency. The first argues that finance is rigged to enrich bankers, rather than their customers, shareholders or the economy at large. Some worry about the way bonuses are calculated: others about moral hazard. Bankers will take wild bets because they know they will be bailed out by the taxpayer. Look at Bear Stearns or Northern Rock.The second, deeper question is whether a market-based approach to finance is efficient. Some Chinese officials claim the Western system has been shown up by the crisis. This week Germany"s president demanded that the "monster" of financial markets "be put back in its place" : bankers had caused a "massive destruction of assets. " The critics do not lack ammunition. The lapses in credit-underwriting in the subprime-mortgage market hardly reflect a wise allocation of capital. The opacity of the shadow banking system and the mind-boggling complexity of those toxic asset-backed products have raised doubts about the discipline of the market.

【正确答案】 1、正确答案: 自信贷市场八月份冻结以来,银行已经惨淡经营了残酷的九个月了,资产损失和减值累计已达3,350亿美元;其中有许多优秀的企业已经消失。在发达国家经济体中,几乎所有的银行都面临着经济和监管的阻力,这将导致收入和工作岗位的减少。但西方金融所面临的最大的危险并非盈利能力的衰退,而是对其运行机制丧失了信心。 对银行业的批评主要来自两方面,一个基于公平,另一个基于效率。前者认为金融被操纵用来使银行家富有而并非使他们的客户、股东或整体经济受益。一些人担心奖金的计算方式;还有一些人担心的是道德风险。银行家将疯狂下赌,因为他们知道他们能够得到纳税人的纾困。贝尔斯登投资银行或北岩银行就是典型的例子。 对于后者而言,更深入的问题是,基于市场的金融方式是否有效。一些中国官员声称危机已经证明了西方体系的问题。本周,德国总统要求金融市场的“怪物”应该“被放回到原来的地方”:银行家已经造成了“大规模资产破坏。”批评者并不缺乏证据。次贷市场中信用承销的失误表明资本配置并非明智之举。影子银行系统的不透明和有毒的资产抵押产品令人费解的复杂性,均使人们对市场规则提出质疑。
