点评了译文 对全球经济保持乐观吧：都是石油惹的祸

I wouldn’t wonder if the degree of optimism weren’t a direct function of two variables: economic growth and how insulated consumers in a particular country are from the actual price of gasoline.
我认为乐观程度正面影响两个变量: 经济增长和特定国家内消费者对石油价格的封闭性.

Countries whose people are discouraged because the uncertain U. S. economy is dragging their own economies down might consider developing their domestic economies. Economies that are based disproportionately on foreign trade are bound to be disproportionately affected by big importing countries. But if complaining about the U. S. makes them feel better they might stick with that instead.

如果经济发展主要依靠国际贸易发展,受到一些大进口国家的经济影响更大.此次由于美国经济的不稳定性发展而牵引一些国家经济发展,导致国民悲观看待经济前景, 这些国家可能考虑发展本国经济以弥补经济.但如果抱怨可以使经济情况变好,他们会乐于此道.

呵呵,纯属个人观点.有不当之处请指出.谢谢!
