一、Translate the following passage into Chinese.（25 分） The lights have gone out in Detroit. Forty percent of the streetlights don’t work, since there isn’t enough money to keep them on, or up, in a city that some 60 years ago was the richest in the country. By declaring bankruptcy on July 18, it became the largest ever municipal failure in the U.S. Creditors—including big-name investors and pension funds—are already waiting to see who will get paid first, or at all. Public workers are bracing for pension cuts that may leave their retirement plans in ruins. Residents can look for taxes to go up even as services continue to decline. There’s talk of auctioning off prize works from the Detroit Institute of Arts to pay for more ambulances. Downtown businesses are being asked to pay for their own security patrols since so many police have been laid off. Though nearly everyone agrees that Detroit is in particularly bad shape, many of its underlying issues—crushing debt and unfunded and unsustainable retiree benefits—are not unique.
