The fifth option is perhaps the least wise, for it implies the lost decades and EU collapse that Europe is trying to avoid. The fourth option would be wonderful; but, if anyone knew how to bring southern Europe's enterprises up to the productivity levels of the north, it would have happened already.
第五项选择或许最不明智，因为它会带来失去的十年和欧洲竭力避免的经济崩溃。第四项选择也许最为理想；可如果有人知道怎样让南欧企业生产率赶上北欧的水平，这一切就不会发生了。
