NEW YORK – The rising crescendo of bickering and acrimony within Europe might seem to outsiders to be the inevitable result of the bitter endgame playing out between Greece and its creditors. In fact, European leaders are finally beginning to reveal the true nature of the ongoing debt dispute, and the answer is not pleasant: it is about power and democracy much more than money and economics.
纽约—欧洲内部的争吵和讽刺日益升级，对于外部人士来说，这似乎是希腊及其债权人博弈的苦涩终局的必然结果。事实上，欧洲领导人终于开始揭露这场债务纠纷的真正本质，答案并不邻人愉快：这场纠纷的权力和民主性质远大于资金和经济。
