But for many of the go-go dealmakers, the future is more grim. They are facing, at best, slow growth and, at worst, the need to strip away at their empires to service their crushing debt loads. Even in once-hot Silicon Valley, where companies such as Cisco Systems, JDS Uniphase (JDSU), and Ariba (ARBA) used their stratospheric stock prices as a convenient currency to buy the revenues of other companies, many are finding they can no longer use mergers to fuel easy growth.

The main idea of the paragraph

Acquisitive companies will have a difficult time, facing at best slow growth and at worst the need to strip away at their empires to service their crushing debt loads.

并购公司的前程艰难，从好的方面说，他们将面临缓慢的增长，而最糟糕的结局则是他们不得不变卖家产去支付巨大的债务。
