the first is that in the middle of the previous decade the exchequer became unhealthily dependent on buoyant receipts from finance and property markets.
一是在过去十年的中期,依赖于财政和房地产的泡沫带来的高收入,国库变得不再健康。
the rate of decline has doubled to 2.7% per year since 2000, compared to the previous decade (1.3%).

对我来说,上一个十年最好的卫生消息莫过于姗姗来迟的大流行性流感后果极其温和。
