　　· 次贷危机 subprime mortgage crisis
　　[背景详解：
　　美国次贷危机，全称是美国房地产市场上的次级按揭贷款的危机。顾名思义，次级按揭贷款，是相对于给资信条件较好的按揭贷款而言的。因为相对来说，按揭贷款人没有（或缺乏足够的）收入/还款能力证明，或者其他负债较重，所以他们的资信条件较“次”，这类房地产的按揭贷款，就被称为次级按揭贷款。
　　The subprime mortgage crisis is an ongoing economic problem manifesting itself through liquidity issues in the global banking system owing to foreclosures which accelerated in the United States in late 2006 and triggered a global financial crisis during 2007 and 2008. The crisis began with the bursting of the US housing bubble and high default rates on "subprime" and other adjustable rate mortgages made to higher-risk borrowers with lower income or lesser credit history than "prime" borrowers. Loan incentives and a long-term trend of rising housing prices encouraged borrowers to assume mortgages, believing they would be able to refinance at more favorable terms later.]
