Lugovoi进入政界难道不是对普京寻找继任者这一问题的理想解决方案么？毕竟这场选秀有分裂该国精英阶层的危险。

The increasing use of genetically modified mice since their advent 20 years ago amplifies this problem.

By contrast, sky-high US interest rates produced by a general expectation of a massive ongoing dollar decline is a macroeconomic problem without a solution.

而恰恰相反，大规模持续性美元贬值的普遍预期所带来的居高不下的美元利率却是没有办法解决的宏观经济问题。

So, if there is a debt problem, as in the US mortgage crisis, one must also look at private funds’ role in creating it.

The problem is that currently there is a lack of convergence and coherence between national supervisors. And that is because perceived national interests still have the upper hand over the wider interests of an integrated European marketplace.

问题是目前在各国监管机构之间缺乏统一协调的机制，而这是因为眼前的国家利益仍高于统一的欧洲市场的利益。

The problem is that the media have an interest in publishing information that increases their audience, and personal information, especially of a sexual nature, will often do just that.

问题是，媒体发表可以提高其读者量的信息关系到它们的利益，而私人情况、特别是有关性事的私人情况通常正好可以做到这一点。
