Some economic experts say officials will work to reassure investors and make it easier for banks to lend money if British voters decide to push the U.K. out of the European Union.
一些经济专家表示，如果英国人民投票决定让英国退出欧盟，相关部门将会努力安抚投资者，并帮助他们更容易地从银行贷款。
Experts at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the International Monetary Fund and elsewhere say a so-called Brexit could hurt the economy.
来自经济合作与发展组织、国际货币基金组织以及其他相关机构的专家们表示，“Brexit”（英国退出欧盟）会对经济造成损害。
Supporters of the effort to pull the U.K. out of the EU say Britain would thrive outside the bloc and would be liberated from bureaucratic mandates from EU headquarters in Brussels.
支持英国脱离欧盟的人们表示，此举将使英国在欧盟之外重振活力，也会帮助英国从欧盟的那些繁文缛节中脱身。
An OECD study says leaving the EU would tend to raise British interest rates, cut investor and consumer confidence, and damage trade. Together, these effects could cut the growth rate by more than three percentage points and cost the average British household several thousand dollars.
一项经济合作与发展组织的研究表明，英国脱离欧盟，将会提高英国利率、削弱投资者与消费者信心、损害贸易行为。这些后果可导致经济增长降低超过三个百分点，同时为英国普通家庭带来超过数千美元的开支。
European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi said the ECB "stands ready" to act if Brexit causes chaos. U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said Tuesday that a Brexit could have "serious" economic repercussions and is a reason for a cautious economic policy in Washington.
欧洲央行主席Mario Draghi表示，欧洲央行已经为英国退欧可能引发的混乱“做好了准备”。美联储主席Janet Yellen于周二表示，英国退欧可能导致“严重的”经济影响，华盛顿方面因此应当保持谨慎的经济政策。
The IMF says Brexit's economic impact would be "negative" and "substantial," and says officials would need to take steps to support "stability" and "reduce uncertainty." Uncertainty worries investor, who might sell British currency and other assets, which could hurt the value of the pound and stocks in the U.K.
国际货币基金组织表示，英国退欧带来的经济影响将会是“负面的”且“实质性的”；相关部门需要采取措施来维持“稳定性”，并“减少不确定性”。不确定性引发投资者担忧，他们可能会抛售英国货币和其他资产，这将损害英镑及英国股票价值。
Rice University international economist Russell Green said dire economic predictions may be overdone because stock and currency markets have know about a possible Brexit for months and have had time to adjust their holdings. Green was previously a high-ranking official at the U.S. Treasury Department.
莱斯大学国际经济学家Russell Green表示，对经济的消极预期可能言过其实，因为股票与货币市场对于英国可能退欧的情况早有所了解，并且有足够的时间来进行调整。Green先前是美国财政部的一名高级官员。
He said markets may decline, but probably not in a "catastrophic" fashion. If turmoil does break out in markets, Green said the Bank of England (Britain's central bank) might take steps to increase the amount of money available for banks to lend.
Green表示，受英国退欧的影响，市场可能衰退，但是并不是以一种“灾难性”的方式。如果市场确实产生了骚乱，英格兰银行（英国央行）可能采取措施来增加银行放贷的货币量。
This increase in "liquidity" could help bolster the economy by making it cheaper for companies to borrow money. He said if the value of the pound drops sharply, BOE could buy the U.K. currency and sell others, which would tend to strengthen the pound.
资金“流动性”的增长使得企业的借贷成本降低，因此可以帮助振兴经济。Green表示，如果英镑急剧贬值，英国央行可以通过购买英镑、卖出其他货币的方式，来尝试巩固英镑的价值。
In the past, central banks have tried to stimulate faltering economies by cutting interest rates. But Duke University political science professor Time Buthe said that is not an option here because British and EU interest rates are already very low.
过去，央行曾试图降低利率，以刺激疲软的经济。但是，杜克大学政治学教授Tim Buthe表示，降低利率并不是一个可行方案，因为英国和欧盟的利率已经很低了。
Buthe said the overall impact of Brexit could be "stunning" because it increases uncertainty, could greatly complicate trade, and makes London a less attractive place for the financial sector.
Buthe表示，英国退欧的总体影响会是“惊人的”，因为此举将会增加不确定性、造成贸易复杂化，并且降低伦敦在金融领域的吸引力。
According to Buthe, British officials have previously cut bureaucratic obstacles and costs to keep the financial sector, and its highly lucrative jobs in the country. He said the concessions already have attracted political criticisms, making further cuts in red tape difficult.
根据Buthe，英国官方此前已经削减了许多官僚障碍和开支，以维持国家的金融优势及其他高利润职位。他表示，官僚方面的让步已经招致了诸多批评，这使得未来继续削减官僚障碍更加困难。
