Clearly, our creditors’ demand for more austerity has nothing to do with concerns about genuine reform or moving Greece onto a sustainable fiscal path. Their true motivation is a question best left to future historians – who, I have no doubt, will take much of the contemporary media coverage with a grain of salt.
显然，希腊债权人扩大紧缩的要求绝非为真正的改革或让希腊走上可持续财政之路考虑。它们的真正动机最好由未来历史学家来评判——我毫不怀疑，未来史家一定会对现在的许多媒体报道持保留态度。
