Shanghai 's consumers are spending like there is no financial crisis , buying swanky cars and even swankier handbags , eating in restaurants and doing all those fun things westerners dimly remember from the easy credit age .

上海消费者在花钱的时候，就仿佛金融危机并不存在，他们购买奢华轿车和甚至更奢华的手袋，下馆子，做各种开心的事这一切已成为西方人对宽松信贷时期的模糊记忆。

Although many other big firms resisted the temptation to over-borrow , developers gorged on cheap debt and built bigger and swankier hotels as if the whole world were planning a holiday in las vegas .

尽管其它许多公司经受住了诱惑，没有大举借贷，但房产开发商们大肆借贷，建造时髦的高楼大厦，就好象全世界都准备在拉斯维加斯度假一样。
