The most recent example of this “dialogue of the deaf” occurred in Europe, from January to July 2015. Month after month, the Greek government and its eurozone partners sat at the board, one side thinking the game was checkers and the other thinking it was chess.
这一“鸡同鸭讲”现象的最近一个例子发生在2015年1月—7月的欧洲。月复一月，希腊政府及其欧元区伙伴坐在谈判桌两端，一边认为这是一场西洋跳棋（checkers）博弈，另一边认为这是一场国际象棋（chess）博弈。
