||1:But refashioning the banks carries a cost.||2:By making it more expensive to fund assets, both because of higher capital charges and because bondholders will bear more risk in future, the new rules are forcing lenders to be pickier.||3:European banks are under particular pressure.||4:They are huge, accounting for most lending (compared with 25-30% in America’s more diverse system).||5:The Europeans are more reliant on flighty wholesale funding.||6:Before the crisis, they financed a lot of long-term assets such as infrastructure.||7:That has to change: funding such holdings with short-term debt is frowned on, and long-term bank debt is hard to come by.||8:The IMF said in October that European banks could end up shedding assets worth $2.8 trillion.||9:Beyond such enormous numbers, the simple reality is that many borrowers can no longer rely on the banks.

||1:但此般银行改革也会引起成本。||2:在新的监管规则下，资本费用将会增加，债权人的未来风险也将提高，因而抬高基金资产的价格。其结果，银行借贷者在挑选银行时不得不更为挑剔。||3:而欧洲银行面临的压力尤为巨大。||4:这些银行规模庞大，占欧洲借贷业务的多数（相比之下美国借贷体系更为分散，银行借贷仅占全部的25-30%）。||5:欧洲对于变化无常的批发性融资依赖较大。||6:本次金融危机前，融资项目包括大量基础设施等长期资产。||7:而现在这一结构需要改变，含短期债务的资产融资无法通过的话，长期银行债务也难以获得。||8:国际货币基金组织（IMF）在10月份表示，欧洲银行最终将以丧失2.8万亿美元的资产收场。||9:除了这一巨大亏损之外，众多人无法再依靠银行借贷。

||1: After all this the human brain looks less like a model of rationality and more like a giddy teenager: flighty , easily distracted and lacking in self-awareness. ||2: Yet this book is not a counsel of despair. ||3: Its awkward title refers to Mr Kahneman’s two-tier model of cognition: “System 1” is quick, intuitive and responsible for the quirks and mistakes described above (and many others). ||4: “System 2”, by contrast, is slow, deliberative and less prone to error. ||5: System 2 kicks in when we are faced with particularly complex problems, but much of the time it is all too happy to let the impulsive System 1 get its way. (Readers may be reminded of Freud’s “id” and “superego”, though Mr Kahneman never mentions this particular intellectual ancestor.)

||1:最后，作者得出结论，与其说人类的大脑是理性的集合，还不如说它更像一个轻浮的少年：反复无常，容易分神，缺少自觉意识。||2:当然这本书不是人们悲观的忠告。||3:书的标题有些拗口，但它表明了卡内曼’对认知的双层分类模型：“系统一，快速，受直觉引导，易犯上述的错误。||4:相比之下，系统二则缓慢，慎重思考，不易犯错误。||5:只有当我们面临着复杂的问题时，系统二才会启动，更多的时候，是让受直觉影响的系统一来替我们做决定。（读者可能会想到弗洛伊德的“本我”“超我”，但卡内曼在书中压根没有提这位贡献卓著的前人）
