Britain plans to issue ? 169 billion ($277 billion) of bonds this year to cover the deficit, and to pay off ? 49 billion of debt that is coming due.

英国今年计划发行价值1690亿英镑(折合美 元2770亿)的债券来弥补亏空，并付清即将到期的490亿英镑的债务。

But all went otherwise. Old Sivert's accounts had appeared more or less in order after Eleseus had been through them; but the farm and the cow, the fishery and nets were barely enough to cover the deficit.

但一切都不一样了。老西维特的账目在埃利修斯看完之后，或多或少显得井井有条；但农场和奶牛、渔业和渔网几乎不足以弥补赤字。
