Yifei Li is a sociologist at New York University Shanghai. She told Reuters that most families did not hold back on having children in recent years because of the government’s two-child policy. Instead, she said they held off because of "the incredibly high costs of raising children in today’s China."

李逸飞是上海纽约大学的一名社会学家。她对路透社表示，近年来大多数家庭并不是因为政府的二孩政策而抑制生育。相反，她说他们之所以迟迟不敢生育，是因为如今在中国养育孩子的成本非常高。

1:Besides, he said, all the enquiries and science in the world could not begin to explain the other things that He, as an avatar of God, could will to happen.2:He could raise people from the dead, even when ants were already crawling over them.[...]113:He could hold back the rains.4:He could leave His own body, letting it slump stiff and lifeless in His chair for five minutes while He travelled to the Kashmir Front or the seashore at Mumbai.5:Sufferers from duodenal ulcers would find Him operating on them, materialising the instruments from thin air.6:He could change water into petrol or diesel on which cars ran for many miles.

1: This was not sustainable, and indeed the saving rate jumped back to 4% in December. [...]112: Are further increases in store? If so, that would hold back consumption, which accounts for roughly two-thirds of GDP. 3: And indeed that is the main reason recoveries after financial crises are usually sluggish: households and businesses have to hack back the debt they accumulated during the boom years, a process called deleveraging. 4: Households have as expected reduced their debts relative to their incomes; much of that has come by defaulting on their loans. 5: More such defaults are probably in store. 6: The question is, will consumers also divert more of their income from consumption? That would cause the saving rate to rise further.

1:存款利率在十二月降到了4%已是不争的事实，并且让人无法忍受。[...]112:那么物价会进一步增长吗？如果增长，那么大致占GDP2/3比例的消费将回落。3:实际上，主要原因在于金融危机之后的复苏通常是迟缓的：家庭和企业必须归还他们在经济高度增长年份所积累的债务，这过程被称作资金杠杆。4:家庭希望债务相对于收入来说能够得到缩减；到头来他们大多数都拒还贷款。5:或许还有更多的这样的拒绝偿付贷款的行为将要发生。6:问题是，消费者投入到消费性开支的收入会不会变得更少。如果会，那将会导致储蓄率进一步提升。
