大不況の2008年
2008年 12月 30日
Many countries are struggling with global depression these days. As you know, the American major automobile companies called “Big 3” are on the verge of bankruptcy. As you also know, the Big 3 headquarters are located in the Detroit area. I heard that the jobless rate in Detroit was at least 10% now. Surprisingly, it seems to be reaching about 24% in some areas. The suburb I live in hasn’t increased so much, but the situation here has totally changed. Some Japanese workers who had transferred from Japan have to go back to Japan earlier than their initial period.
政府は先日、BIG3に支援金を出すことを決定したけど、この支援金もほんの一時しのぎのものだと思います。BIG3はこのお金をいかに効果的に使い、いかに早急に復興するかの策を考えないといけない。もし、アメリカという国が破産したら、世界全体が破壊するかもしれない。世界全体の破産って考えられる?
The government made a decision to give relief funds to Big 3 the other day; however, the relief funds are only a band-aid solution. The Big 3 have to consider how to spend this money effectively and how to reconstruct immediately.
If America goes bankrupt, then whole world may be destroyed. Can you believe whole world could be bankrupt?
私たちが今できることって何かしら?各自が限られた資源を効果的に利用する策を考えないといけないと思います。それと、世界各国がその国の資金をより効果的に使う策を考えるべきだと思います。
Is there anything we can do now? Each person has to think about the effective utilization of limited sources. All the world’s governments should discuss the way utilizing their funds more effectively.
私は今からどのぐらいこのアメリカにすむのかよくわからないけど、このとても厳しい状況の中ミシガンに住んでいることは価値があることだと思います。私は働きながら学校も行っていて、いろんな場所でたくさんの経験をすることできていることは、私にとってとても意味がある。時間とお金の無駄遣いにならないようなミシガンでの生活をしないといけないなあ・・・
I am not sure how long I will be in the US from now; however, staying in Michigan during such terrible situation will be of value for me. I am going to school while working, so I can have a lot of experiences at many different places. It is a meaningful experience for me. I should spend my life in Michigan not to waste time and money.
ということで、みなさんブログを読んでくれてありがとう。
来年もよろしく。
Anyway, thank you for reading my blog. See you in 2009.
