Tesla CEO
特斯拉CEO兼億萬富翁埃隆·馬斯克表示，從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)來看，經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退是“不可避免的”，而且很可能“很快”襲擊美國(guó)。
Musk made the prediction Tuesday, echoing statements he made on Twitter indicating that an economic "rude awakening" is inbound.
馬斯克周二做出了這一預(yù)測(cè)，回應(yīng)了他在推特上表示經(jīng)濟(jì)“猛然覺醒”即將到來的聲明。
"A recession is inevitable at some point. As to whether there is a recession in the near term, that is more likely than not," Musk told Bloomberg in an interview.
“經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退在某種程度上是不可避免的。至于近期是否會(huì)出現(xiàn)衰退，這種可能性更大，”馬斯克在接受彭博社采訪時(shí)說。
"It is not a certainty, but it appears more likely than not," he continued.
“這并不確定，但似乎更有可能，”他繼續(xù)說道。

President Joe Biden has sought to downplay the likelihood of a recession, insisting to reporters during his weekend vacation in Delaware that it is not "inevitable."
喬·拜登總統(tǒng)試圖淡化經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退的可能性，他在特拉華州周末度假時(shí)向記者堅(jiān)稱，這不是“不可避免的”。
"Economists are saying that a recession is more likely than ever," a reporter can be heard saying to Biden on a beach.
“經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家們說，經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退的可能性比以往任何時(shí)候都大，”可以聽到一名記者在海灘上對(duì)拜登說。
"Now you sound like a Republican politician, I"m joking, that was a joke, that was a joke," Biden responded. "But all kidding aside, no I don"t think it is. I was talking to Larry Summers this morning, there"s nothing inevitable about a recession."
“現(xiàn)在你聽起來像一個(gè)共和黨政客，我在開玩笑，那是個(gè)玩笑，那是個(gè)玩笑，”拜登回應(yīng)道?！暗查_開玩笑不談，不，我不認(rèn)為是這樣。今天早上我和拉里·薩默斯談過，經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退沒有什么不可避免的?！?/p>
Summers is among many economists who have stated that a near-term recession is more likely than not.
薩默斯等許多經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家認(rèn)為，近期經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退的可能性更大。
Summers also stated on Monday that the U.S. jobless rate must spike to above 5% and stay there if Americans are to see any relief from inflation.
薩默斯周一還表示，如果美國(guó)人想看到通脹有所緩解，美國(guó)失業(yè)率必須飆升至5%以上，并保持在這一水平。
"We need five years of unemployment above 5% to contain inflation -- in other words, we need two years of 7.5% unemployment or five years of 6% unemployment or one year of 10% unemployment," Summers said in a London speech on Monday. "There are numbers that are remarkably discouraging relative to the Fed Reserve view."
“我們需要五年失業(yè)率超過5%來遏制通脹——換句話說，我們需要兩年7.5%的失業(yè)率或五年6%的失業(yè)率或一年10%的失業(yè)率，”薩默斯周一在倫敦發(fā)表講話時(shí)表示。“與美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)的觀點(diǎn)相比，有些數(shù)字非常令人沮喪?！?/p>
