通货紧缩发生时，那些资助未来退休金的公司和公共实体的名义收入会减少，这引发了在资产和负债之间的另一个潜在的缺口。

If it occurs, it will cut the nominal incomes of those (companies, public-sector bodies) that have to fund future pensions, creating another potential gap between assets and liabilities.

“否认产出缺口”的一种更谨慎的版本，是认为危机前那种水平的产出是银行放贷的结果，其中大部分已随信贷紧缩而一去不复返。

The more cautious version of "output gap denial" is the view that the pre-crisis level of output was the result of bank-financed debt, and that much of it went for good with the credit crunch.

有什么关系？只要缺口持续存在，通货紧缩就应该加剧。

As long as the gap persisted, deflation should have accelerated.
