My pension has plummeted and now I have to buy an annuity
我的退休金暴跌，现在必须去买一份年金（annuity）了。

Unless you have reached 75, at which point the rules say you have to use your fund to buy an annuity to provide you with an income, you might want to sit tight in case the market recovers. The sum of money you have with which to buy the annuity will determine how much you have to live on for the rest of your life, so you might want to wait to see if your fund recovers some of its value and you can buy a better income. The government is considering suspending the rules so that those who have reached 75 can also wait.

除非您已经75岁了，处于这种情况下，规定上说您必须用存款买一份年金以提供一份收入，您可以坐等可能出现的市场复苏。您用来买年的资金量将决定您余生赖以为生的收入，所以，也许您想等等看您的基金价值是否能回弹一些，这样您的收入就会有所改善。政府正在考虑延缓这些规定，这样，达到75岁的人群仍可等待一段时间。

However, McPhail warns: "The risk of not cashing in your investment is that there is no certainty that the market will recover soon." And while you wait for it to bounce back, annuity rates could fall. "If you are keeping your money in the market waiting for a recovery, then keep your eye on annuity rates too," he says.

然而，麦克菲尔警告说：“投资不兑现的风险在于，市场复苏的明确信号并不存在。”而在您等待经济反弹的时候，年金收益率可能已经下调了。“如果您把资金放在市场里等待复苏就一定要紧密关注年金收益率。”

If you are concerned, it would be wise to take advice.

如果您理解了这一点，就会知道，采纳建议是一种很聪明的方式。
