Put the following passage into English: 1987年的股市大崩潰與 1929年的股市大崩潰雖然有許多相似之處,但也有幾點重大區(qū)別,這其中最主要的是金融機(jī)構(gòu)的反應(yīng)。1929年,美聯(lián)儲做出的反應(yīng)是提高利率、緊縮貸款, 這使許多本來可以健康運作的公司由于資金周轉(zhuǎn)問題而倒閉。如果一家公司倒閉并留下大筆債務(wù),那么許多與之有商業(yè)往來的公司也會遭受同樣的命運。 1987年,金融機(jī)構(gòu)迅速降低了利率,從而保證了足夠的信貸以幫助許多公司渡過難關(guān)。結(jié)果是避免了大面積商業(yè)倒閉的出現(xiàn),更重要的是經(jīng)濟(jì)并沒有因此而陷入蕭條之中。雖然曾出現(xiàn)一段衰退期(比 30年代的蕭條要輕得多),這主要是由于通貨膨脹的緣故。利率的急劇下降以及金融管制撤消的過快使通貨膨脹加劇,從而使政府不得不重新提高利率,以使經(jīng)濟(jì)增長速度放慢。 Unit Three How Bill Gates Invests His Money For all the similarities between the 1929 and 1987 stock market crashes, there are one or two vital differences.

In 1987, the authorities were quick to lower interest rates and to ensure that ample credit was made available to help institutions overe their difficulties. There were no widespread business failures and, more importantly, the economy did not enter another depression. There was a period of recession (milder than a 1930sstyle Unit Three How Bill Gates Invests His Money depression), but this was largely due to a resurgence of inflation.
