三、原文与译文
篇一｜美国房市的“负资产”后遗症（101–105）
原文 / 译文
¶1
The housing market exited the trauma ward in 2021. Prices rose as much as 30 percent in some areas, bidding wars broke out and the foreclosure rate halved from its peak. But the patient is by no means fully recovered. In fact, five years after the housing bubble collapsed, one in five mortgage holders still owe more than their home is worth.
译｜ 房地产市场在 2021 年走出了“急救室”。部分地区房价上涨多达 30%，竞价战频发，止赎率从峰值减半。但这个“病人”远未痊愈。事实上，房地产泡沫破裂五年后，每五个房贷持有人中就有一个欠款超过房屋价值。
¶2
At its worst in early 2020, almost 16 million Americans were underwater on their mortgage. In some of the hardest-hit neighborhoods, such as Las Vegas, Phoenix and Detroit, 70 percent of homeowners owed more than the value of their home. Since then, rising home prices have pushed 5 million homeowners back into the black, but 11 million out of a total of 50 million mortgage holders remain in what financial folks call a negative equity position.
译｜ 2020 年初最糟时，近 1600 万美国人的房贷处于“溺水”状态（欠款高于房价）。在拉斯维加斯、凤凰城、底特律等受创最重的社区，70% 的房主欠款超过房屋价值。此后房价上涨让 500 万房主“回到水面以上”，但 5000 万房贷持有人中仍有 1100 万处于金融界所说的“负资产”状态。
¶3
“This is the new normal in the housing market,” said Svenja Gudell, director of economic research at Zillow, an online real estate database. “We will have high levels of negative equity for some time.” With mortgage rates rising and expected to hit 5 percent late next year, many economists predict a more subdued housing market in 2022. That means price gains should moderate and it could take a while longer for homeowners who are underwater to recover.
译｜ “这是房地产市场的新常态，”在线房地产数据库 Zillow 的经济研究主管斯文娅·古德尔说，“高水平的负资产还会持续一段时间。”随着房贷利率上升并预计明年晚些时候触及 5%，许多经济学家预测 2022 年房市将更低迷。这意味着房价涨幅会放缓，溺水房主翻身所需的时间会更长。
¶4
Out of the 75 million homeowners in America, about one in seven stay trapped in their homes, unable to move or sell. Housing prices have gone up and down over the decades, but until the financial crisis of 2008, it was rare to owe a bank more than a home is worth. For all of the 19th century and even during the Great Depression, this was virtually unheard of. Until all the negative equity disappears, the housing market won't be back to normal. It looks like we still have years to go.
译｜ 美国 7500 万房主中，约七分之一被困在自己家里，既不能搬走也不能出售。几十年来房价有涨有跌，但在 2008 年金融危机之前，欠银行的钱超过房屋价值的情况很罕见。整个 19 世纪，甚至大萧条时期，这几乎闻所未闻。在负资产全部消失之前，房地产市场不会恢复正常。看来我们还得等好几年。

篇三｜FTC 诉 Facebook：两场反垄断战（111–115）
原文 / 译文
¶1
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) jolted the markets on Dec. 9th with filings that seek to force Facebook Inc. to sell Instagram and WhatsApp. The FTC is trying to achieve something that hasn't happened in four decades: the breakup of one of America's biggest companies. What makes the case all the more surprising is that it's the FTC, often criticized for lax enforcement, and not the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), pushing for the breakup. “The Facebook case is a really big deal,” says Sam Weinstein, who teaches at the Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University. “If we imagine the government winning and breaking up Facebook, that's a milestone.”
译｜ 12 月 9 日，美国联邦贸易委员会（FTC）向市场投下震撼弹：提交诉状，要求强制 Facebook 出售 Instagram 和 WhatsApp。FTC 正试图做成四十年未成之事——拆分美国最大的公司之一。更令人意外的是，推动拆分的不是美国司法部（DOJ），而是一向被批评执法宽松的 FTC。“Facebook 案是真正的大事，”叶史瓦大学卡多佐法学院教授萨姆·温斯坦说，“如果想象政府胜诉、拆分 Facebook，那将是一个里程碑。”
¶2
The federal government and states across the U.S. have sued both Facebook and Alphabet's Google in recent weeks for abusing their dominant positions in social media and internet search, respectively. Together, the cases represent a watershed moment in U.S. antitrust enforcement and an escalation of regulatory pressure on the technology sector, which also includes a push to pare back a prized liability shield, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
译｜ 近几周，联邦政府和美国各州分别起诉 Facebook 和 Alphabet 旗下的谷歌，指其滥用社交媒体和互联网搜索领域的主导地位。两案合起来，是美国反垄断执法的一个分水岭，也标志着对科技行业监管压力的升级——其中还包括推动削减一项重要的责任豁免，即《通信规范法》第 230 条。
¶3
But while the Google case sits comfortably within legal precedent, the Facebook case represents a startling offensive. The FTC is staking out new territory in seeking to unwind Facebook's purchases of Instagram and WhatsApp — deals that the agency approved in 2012 and 2014. It's pursuing a unique line of attack. Rather than targeting the Instagram and WhatsApp deals individually as illegal under traditional merger law, the agency argues that they are part of a broader strategy by Facebook to monopolize social media.
译｜ 但谷歌案稳稳落在法律先例之内，Facebook 案却是一次惊人的进攻。FTC 试图撤销 Facebook 对 Instagram 和 WhatsApp 的收购——这两笔交易当年在 2012 年和 2014 年正是该机构批准的。它走的是一条独特的攻击路线：不把两笔交易分别认定为违反传统合并法，而是主张它们构成 Facebook 垄断社交媒体的整体战略的一部分。
¶4
The DOJ's Google suit, by contrast, adheres to the legal framework of the U.S. monopoly case against Microsoft Corp. from 1998. The 1998 Microsoft lawsuit charged that the software giant's agreements with manufacturers to install its Internet Explorer browser on its operating system violated antitrust laws. Similarly, the Google complaint focuses on its exclusive deals to package its search engines into phones and browsers. “The DOJ case is literally a clone of U.S. vs Microsoft and should be somewhat of a slam-dunk,” says Sally Hubbard from the Open Markets Institute.
译｜ 相比之下，司法部对谷歌的诉讼沿用 1998 年美国诉微软垄断案的法律框架。1998 年微软案指控这家软件巨头与制造商达成协议、在其操作系统上安装 IE 浏览器，违反反垄断法。同样，谷歌案聚焦其把搜索引擎打包进手机和浏览器的排他协议。“司法部的案子简直是对美国诉微软案的克隆，应该算十拿九稳，”开放市场研究所的萨莉·哈伯德说。
¶5
The FTC's strategy may be more innovative, but that very feature could handicap it in court. The agency will need to convince a judge that structural relief against Facebook is warranted. The chairman of the FTC, Joe Simons, said in an interview that prying apart consummated deals can get “very messy”. That could be especially true with Facebook, which has worked to integrate Instagram and WhatsApp, using the same servers, networks, and advertising for all three. Facebook, for its part, says it faces robust competition and competes fairly, and has argued that revisiting acquisitions after so long could chill future deals.
译｜ FTC 的策略或许更有新意，但恰恰这一特点可能让它在法庭上受限。该机构需要说服法官：对 Facebook 采取结构性救济是必要的。FTC 主席乔·西蒙斯在采访中说，拆散已经完成的交易会“非常麻烦”。对 Facebook 尤其如此，因为它已着力整合 Instagram 和 WhatsApp，三者共用服务器、网络和广告系统。Facebook 方面则表示自己面临激烈竞争、公平竞争，并主张时隔多年重翻旧收购会抑制未来的交易。
¶6
Together, the two cases could redraw the rules that Silicon Valley has been operating under since the Microsoft case, says Weinstein, the Cardozo professor. “Whatever comes out of these cases,” he says, “is going to set the course of antitrust law for the next 20 years.”
译｜ 温斯坦说，两案合起来可能重划硅谷自微软案以来一直遵循的规则。“无论这些案子结果如何，”他说，“都将决定未来 20 年反垄断法的走向。”

篇四｜“自由市场”是个神话（116–120）
原文 / 译文
¶1
Few ideas have more profoundly poisoned the minds of more people than the notion of a “free market” existing somewhere in the universe, into which government “intrudes”. According to this view, whatever we might do to reduce inequality or economic insecurity — to make the economy work for most of us — runs the risk of distorting the market and causing it to be less efficient, or of unintended consequences that may end up harming us. The “free market” is to be preferred over “government”.
译｜ 很少有观念像“自由市场”那样，更深地毒害了更多人的头脑——仿佛市场存在于宇宙某处，而政府会“闯入”其中。按这种看法，我们为减少不平等或经济不安全感、让经济为多数人服务所做的一切，都有扭曲市场、降低效率的风险，或带来最终伤害我们的意外后果。“自由市场”优于“政府”。
¶2
This prevailing view is utterly false. There can be no “free market” without government. A market — any market — requires government to make and enforce the rules of the game. In most modern democracies, such rules emanate from legislatures, administrative agencies and courts. Government doesn't “intrude” on the “free market”. It creates and maintains the market.
译｜ 这种流行看法完全错误。没有政府，就不可能有“自由市场”。市场——任何市场——都需要政府制定并执行游戏规则。在多数现代民主国家，这类规则来自立法机关、行政机关和法院。政府并不“闯入”自由市场，它创造并维护市场。
¶3
The interminable debate over whether the free market is better than “government” makes it impossible for us to examine who exercises power, how they benefit from doing so and whether such rules need to be altered so that more people benefit from them. The myth of market fundamentalism is therefore highly useful to those who do not wish such an examination to be undertaken. The debate over market vs government serves to distract the public from the underlying realities of how the rules are generated and changed, from the power of the moneyed interests over this process, and the extent to which they gain from the results. In other words, not only do these “free market” advocates want the public to agree with them about the superiority of the market, but also about the central importance of the interminable and distracting debate over whether the market or the government should prevail.
译｜ 关于“自由市场是否优于政府”的无休止争论，使我们无法审视：谁在行使权力、他们如何从中获益、规则是否需要修改以让更多人受益。因此，“市场原教旨主义”的神话，对那些不愿进行这种审视的人极为有用。市场与政府之争，把公众的注意力从规则如何生成与改变、金钱利益集团对这一过程的支配、以及他们从结果中获利多少这些底层现实中引开。换言之，这些“自由市场”鼓吹者不仅要公众认同市场的优越性，还要认同“市场与政府谁应占上风”这场无休止、分散注意力的争论具有核心重要性。
¶4
This is why it's so important to expose the underlying structure of the so-called free market and show how and where power is exercised over it. It's why I write a weekly column for The Guardian — one of the few publications in the world committed to revealing the truth about the economy and exposing the myths that distract the public's attention from what is really going on. The Guardian can do this because it's not financed by commercial sponsors or any party with a financial or other interest in what it reports, but exists solely to serve the public.
译｜ 正因如此，揭露所谓自由市场的底层结构、指明权力如何及在哪里被行使，才如此重要。也正因如此，我为《卫报》写每周专栏——《卫报》是世界上少数致力于揭示经济真相、揭穿那些把公众注意力从现实引开的神话的出版物之一。它能这样做，是因为它不接受商业赞助，也不受任何在其报道内容中有财务或其他利益的党派资助，而只服务于公众。
¶5
Inequalities of income, wealth, and political power continue to widen across all advanced economies. To reverse them we need an informed public capable of seeing the mythologies that protect and preserve today's super-rich no less than did the Divine Right of Kings centuries ago.
译｜ 在所有发达经济体中，收入、财富和政治权力的不平等持续扩大。要扭转这一趋势，我们需要有见识的公众，能够看穿那些保护并维系当今超级富豪的神话——正如几个世纪前“君权神授”所起的作用一样。
