Now Hold Still

But for now, many of the conditions that got bonds rolling in the first place still hold sway.

不过，目前为止，很多令债券大涨的条件依然发挥著作用。

They still hold gold and right now the Federal Reserve System has about eleven billion dollars of gold.

他们仍然持有金子，并且现在，联邦储备系统拥有价值，一百一十亿美元的金子。

And if we don't fix the system now, there's every reason to believe that the next crisis will be bigger still - and that the Fed won't have enough duct tape to hold things together.

如果我们现在不对金融系统加以修补，就有足够的理由相信下一次危机的规模将会更大。到那时候，美联储恐怕就没那么多胶带纸把那些破东西粘在一起了。
