It's interesting to look recently.

我们再来看看最近的数据
This doesn't look very important;

看起来似乎没什么特别的
it shows how important our lifetimes in the broad sweep of history,

这里显示了我们的有生之年相对于整个历史的数据变化
but your lifetimes are from in this region right here.

你们生活的年代大概是显示在这个区域
The thing that's interesting is that we have been recently

比较有意思的是最近一段时间
in a very low volatility period for the stock market.

股票市场波动很小
This is around 2003.

这是2003年左右
We were in a high volatility period in the 1990s--

但90年代时波动很大
nothing like in the Great Depression,

当然不能和大萧条时期相提并论
but high in the '90s and then volatility just collapsed

不过在经历了90年代的高点之后突然暴跌
and the markets were the deadest and dullest

股票市场进而变得非常萧条
place to be in the world--the stock market.

死气沉沉
