The 1929 crash just does not seem relevant to most people today, probably because we survived the 1987 and 2000 crashes with few ill effects, while 1929 seems not only the distant past, but another world.

1929年股市大跌对于当今的大多数人而言毫不相关，或许是因为我们从1987年后2000年的大跌中脱身而出，仅仅略有影响，而1929年不仅是遥远的过去，而且还 是另一个世界了。

Consider the oil crisis that began in November 1973, resulting in a world stock market crash and a sharp world recession.

看一看1973年11月开始的石油危机。这一危机造成世界性的股票市场大跌以及大幅度全球衰退。

And certainly there was a most extraordinary noise going on within-a constant howling and sneezing, and every now and then a great crash, as if a dish or kettle had been broken to pieces.

确实， 里面传来了很特别的吵闹声：有不断的嚎叫声， 有打喷嚏声， 还不时有打碎东西的声音， 好像是打碎盘子或瓷壶的声音。
