Speaking from the conference, Harvard University Economics Professor Martin Feldstein says the outlook in the United States and across much of Europe is grim, not to mention Spain.
在会议上，哈佛大学经济学教授Martin Feldstein表示，美国和很多欧洲国家的前景都很暗淡，更别说西班牙了。
"The numbers that we've seen recently for the U.S. on manufacturing, on construction, on consumers' sentiment tell me that the odds have gotten much greater, that the U.S. is going to continue to decline, and that we are going to be in a formal recession before the end of the year,"
“我们最近从美国制造业、建筑业和消费者信心方面的数据可以看出，现在我们面临的困难已经越来越大，我们在年底之前将正式进入经济衰退时期。”
Feldstein noted. "In Europe, again I don't think you can talk about a single outlook for Europe. Germany is strong, Greece is in terrible shape, Spain has 20-plus percent unemployment. So some of the countries are already in economic downturn here in Europe."
Feldstein说：“在欧洲，我认为你不能只讨论欧洲这一个地方的前景。德国很强大，希腊很糟糕，西班牙有着20%的失业率。所以，欧洲的一些国家已经
进入经济低迷时期。”
