EVEN by the standards of the worst financial crisis for at least a generation, the events of Sunday Spetember14th and the day before were extraordinary. The weekend began with hopes that a deal could be struck, with or without government backing, to save Lehman Brothers, America’s fourth-largest investment bank. It ended with Lehman’s set for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and the bank preparing to wind itself up after those efforts failed. Other vulnerable financial giants scrambled to sell themselves or raise enough capital to stave off a similar fate. Merrill Lynch, the third-biggest investment bank, sold itself to Bank of America (BofA), an erstwhile Lehman suitor, in a $50 billion all-stock deal. American International Group (AIG) brought forward a potentially life-saving overhaul and went cap-in-hand to the Federal Reserve.On Sunday night the situation was still fluid, with bankers and regulators working to limit the fallout. They were girding themselves for a dreadful Monday in the markets. Australia’s stockmarket opened sharply lower on Monday (most other Asian bourses were closed). American stock futures were deep in the red too, and the dollar weaker. Spreads on risky credit, already elevated, widened further.The takeover of Merrill leaves just two large independent investment banks in America, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs.

“防控金融风险”用英文怎么说？ 比较地道的英语说法Fending off（to fend off） financial risks ，也有的用 preventing（to prevent） financial risks ，如果不嫌Chinglish，也可以用 to prevent and control financial risks，不过，这是典型的中国式思维，老外比较喜欢实在，认为prevent 表达防范降低风险足矣，完全控制是不可能的，中文喜欢高调，防控显得自己更有能耐；相近的”化解金融风险“则是to reduce financial risks.

Fear and loathing is spreading as signs mount that the economy is in danger of losing its balance. Industrial production is expected to have dropped in the third quarter, underscoring the plight of troubled auto makers as well as manufacturers of furniture, construction materials and other goods that have been hard hit by the collapse of the housing market. Stabilization of the financial markets is a critical first step, but even if they stabilize as we hope they will, broader economic recovery will not happen right away," Ben Bernanke, Fed Chairman, told the Economic Club of New York.Leaders of the world's top economic powers, the G8, said they would meet "in the near future" for a global summit to tackle the financial crisis. The group comprises the United States, Japan, Germany, France, Britain, Italy, Canada and Russia. The current financial crisis began more than a year ago in the United States when lax lending standards on certain home mortgages came home to roost. Foreclosures skyrocketed, mortgage securities soured and financial companies racked up huge losses.
