English英语 term

a far cry

English英语译成Chinese汉语 商务/金融 经济学
To lift consumer demand, the government this week said that it would give everybody shopping vouchers to spend in shops and restaurants.

Such measures are from 1997, when rather than urging households to spend, governments in Asia begged them to hand over their gold jewellery to be melted down to bolster official reserves.

如何理解a far cry,怎么翻译比较好呢? Thanks!
