It's time to stop wallowing in pessimismabout the world's future.
不要再悲观于世界未来了。
Over the past four weeks, we’ve had a runof undeniably good news. A panoply of data has shown that the U.S. economicsystem appears to be on firm ground. More people have jobs, albeit notnecessarily sterling jobs, and the pace of overall activity as measured by GDPis at the highest level in two years, expanding at 4.1 percentannually. On the political front, Congress passed a budget for the first timein more than three years, which suggests a period ahead where Washingtontantrums do not threaten to upend whatever delicate equilibrium currentlyexists.
在过去四周时间里,确实发生了很多好资讯。华丽丽的数据表明美国经济正变得稳健。更多人找到工作,虽然这些工作并非都是非常好的工作,总体的GDP是两年来最好的,每年都增加4.1%。在政治领域,国会三年多来首次通过了预算案,表明在未来一段时期内,不管华盛顿政界风云如何变化,都不可能威胁到目前的大好局势。
And yet, an aura of unease still seems tohover over us. In the year or more that I have written this column, I haveoften emphasized the way in which things may be going at least a bit right.That contrasts with the frequently repeated mantra that we are goingdangerously off the rails. Of course, like anyone, I may be right or wrong orsomewhere in between. What’s been perplexing about responses to this column,however, isn’t whether the analysis is right or wrong, wise or naïve, but thatthe very hint of optimism makes a fair number of people extremely angry.
