equity cushion

基本解释

And a bigger equity cushion should help to reduce the cost of debt by counteracting fears that debtholders are too exposed to losses.
更多的资金缓冲会有助于通过抵消债权人对于损失过多的担忧来降低举债成本。
Although that exposure was small compared with their portfolios, it could have a big impact because they have so little equity as a cushion.
尽管与它们的投资组合相比，暴露出的只是一小部分，但会造成巨大的冲击，因为它们的缓冲余地很小。
