The whole northeastern region of Tohoku accounts for about 8 per cent of the Japanese economy, compared with the 4 per cent generated by Kobe City, said Richard Jerram, chief Asia economist at Macquarie.

麦格理集团（macquarie）亚洲首席经济学家理查德杰拉姆（richard jerram）表示，整个日本东北地区占日本经济的比重约为8%，而神户一个城市就占到了4%。

The lower yen is believed to be behind "record levels of foreign orders for Japanese machinery in the past six months", notes Richard Jerram, economist at Macquarie Securities in Tokyo.

麦格理证券（macquarie securities）驻东京经济学家理查德杰拉姆（richard jerram）指出，相信日元贬值是“过去6个月日本外国机械订单达到创纪录水平”的原因。

I think if they are willing to really commit to it, buying perhaps hundreds of billions of dollars over the next two or three months, then they could have an effect, Mr Jerram says.

他表示：我认为，如果他们真的愿意致力于此、在未来两三个月里买入或许数千亿美元，那么他们有可能收到一定成效。
