求翻译：This is because most asset gathering subsectors are not balance-sheet intensive, are not exposed to traditional credit risks, and can self-fund their operations from internally generated cash flows. This means most asset gatherers do not depend on short-term borrowings to finance their day-to-day activities. Instead, most of their debt is fixed rate and long term. Indeed, many companies have taken advantage of the historically low interest-rate environment to extend maturities.是什么意思？
