2024考研英语同源外刊:无力支付对美国经济意味什么?

As President Joe Biden and congressional leaders are in a high-stakes standoff over the debt limit, experts warn it would be catastrophic if leaders do not reach an agreement in time – and launch the economy into chaos. If Congress does not raise or suspend the debt limit, the Treasury Department estimates the United States could run out of money as early as June 1. giving a divided Congress just weeks to reach a deal.

就在美国总统拜登和国会领导人就债务上限问题陷入僵局之际，专家警告说，如果领导人不能及时达成协议，美国经济将陷入混乱，这将是灾难性的。美国财政部估计，如果国会不延缓债务上限，美国较早可能在6月1日耗尽资金，给意见分歧的国会只有几周的时间来达成协议。

"This would be a huge hit to the economy and really an economic catastrophe," Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told CNBC on Monday. She has warned that there is no action Mr. Biden and the Treasury can take to prevent disaster if Congress does not act. "If Congress doesn't raise the debt ceiling, the president will have to make some decisions about what to do with the resources we do have, and there are a variety of different options, but there are no good options. Every option is a bad option," said Yellen. "The only option that really leaves our economy in good shape is — and our financial system — is raising the debt ceiling."

美国财政部长珍妮特·耶伦周一对CNBC表示：“这将是对经济的巨大打击，也是一场真正的经济灾难。”她警告说，如果国会不采取行动，拜登和财政部就无法阻止灾难的发生。耶伦说：“如果国会不改变债务上限，总统将不得不就如何处理我们现有的资源做出一些决定，有各种不同的选择，但没有好的选择。每一个选择都是糟糕的选择。仅有能让我们的经济和金融系统保持良好状态的选择就是改变债务上限。”

Amid escalating rhetoric and little progress, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has also said Americans cannot rely on the central bank to protect them from the fallout if the U.S. defaults for the first time. "We shouldn't even be talking about a world in which the U.S. doesn't pay its bills. It just shouldn't be a thing," Powell said. "No one should assume that the Fed can… really protect the economy and the financial system, and our reputation globally, from the damage such an event might inflict."

在言论不断升级、进展甚微的情况下，美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔也表示，如果美国首次违约，美国人不能指望美联储保护他们免受影响。鲍威尔说：“我们甚至不应该谈论一个美国不支付账单的世界。这根本不应该成为一件事。任何人都不应该认为，美联储能够……真正保护经济和金融体系，以及我们在全球的声誉，使其免受此类事件可能造成的损害。”
