原文： And austerity in a slump doesn’t just inflict vast suffering. There is growing evidence that it is self-defeating even in purely fiscal terms, as the combination of falling revenues due to a depressed economy and worsened long-term prospects actually reduces market confidence and makes the future debt burden harder to handle. You have to wonder how countries that are systematically denying a future to their young people — youth unemployment in Ireland, which used to be lower than in the United States, is now almost 30 percent, while it’s near 50 percent in Greece — are supposed to achieve enough growth to service their debt. 我的翻译： 在经济衰退中采用紧缩政策，不仅造成巨大的痛苦。越来越多的证据显示，即使单从 财政数据来看，紧缩政策也会弄巧成拙。由经济衰退导致的营收下降，加上长期经济展 望恶化，实质上降低了市场信心，并让未来的债务负担更为棘手。你或许会感到困惑： 这些让年轻人看不见未来的国家，像青年失业率比美国稍低的国家爱尔兰，目前逼近 百分之三十，而希腊则接近百分之五十，要如何达成足以支撑他们债务的经济成长。 有几个问题 我不太确定想问大家 fiscal term 这边解读成 财政数据对吗 falling revenue的 revenue可以说是营收吗 systematically denying a future 大家会怎麽翻这句话 systematically 我原本想加「有系统的」 後来觉得中文怪怪的 所以没加 後面从 You have to wonder~~~service their debt这段满长的 碰到这种长句 大家会怎麽调整语序呢？ 让中文看起来比较顺 谢谢~ --
