In the 1976 movie Network, news anchor Howard Beale tells TV viewers to stick their heads out their windows and yell: “I’m as mad as hell(怒不可遏), and I’m not going to take this any more!” It’s a sentiment that resonate(引起共鸣)s today in Australia and across the world.
在1976年的电影《电视台风云》中，新闻主播霍华德·比尔让电视观众把头伸出窗外大喊：“我已经怒不可遏，我再也受不了了！”这种情绪如今在澳大利亚乃至全世界都引起共鸣。
In October, consumer sentiment at home fell to levels more often associated with recessions, despite the fact that the latest GDP numbers show the economy grew by a real 2% over the year to June (that is, 2% over and above the rate of inflation).(10月，国内消费者信心跌至通常只在衰退时期才会出现的水平，尽管最新GDP数据显示，截至6月的一年里经济实际增长2%（即扣除通胀后仍增长2%）。)

But there are plenty of reasons why Australians are unhappy and even angry. The combination of war-induced(战争引发的) energy shocks, rising tariff(关税)s, ageing populations, increased military spending, more frequent climate shocks and even the datacentre frenzy(狂热、疯狂) are all pushing up inflation and public-sector debt, which in turn(进而、反过来) have led to rising interest rates. These are not short-term trends. Add to that falling house prices, rising unemployment, rising inequality and a general malaise around what AI might or might not do, and you might wonder why sentiment isn’t even lower.(再加上房价下跌、失业率上升、不平等加剧，以及人们对人工智能究竟能做什么、不能做什么普遍感到不安，你或许会奇怪：为什么消费者信心没有更低？)
但澳大利亚人不高兴甚至愤怒的理由有很多。战争引发的能源冲击、不断上升的关税、人口老龄化、军费增加、更频繁的气候灾害，甚至数据中心热潮，这些因素叠加在一起，共同推高通胀和公共部门债务，进而导致利率上升。这些都不是短期趋势。再加上房价下跌、失业率上升、不平等加剧，以及人们对人工智能究竟能做什么、不能做什么普遍感到不安，你或许会奇怪：为什么消费者信心没有更低？
