For instance, a substantial share of the loans given to Greece until early 2012 was indeed used to pay off maturing debt. But it is likely that the holders of the debt were no longer French or German banks – who for the most part would have been unable to bear the uncertainty that preceded the 2012 bailout and haircut on Greek debt.
这两种叙事都包含了大量事实，但也根据需要忽视了一些重要真相。比如，2012年初以来向希腊提供的贷款中有很大一部分被用于偿还到期债务。但有可能这些债务的最终持有者已不再是法国或德国银行——否则它们多半无法承受2012年前所存在的不确定性和希腊债务的减记。
