Unfortunately not: progress resulted almost exclusively from the pressure of the much-maligned financial markets. Just as former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi was brought down not by political opponents, but by jittery investors, it was the markets, not European leaders, that opened the door to European fiscal and political union.
不幸的是：我们所取得的进步基本上都来自于那个遭万人唾骂的市场所产生的压力。正如把意大利前总理贝卢斯科尼赶下台的不是政敌，而是神经过敏的投资者，也正是市场而非欧洲领导人开启了构建欧洲财政和政治联盟的大门。
