The euro, which turned out to be the critical tool for defending European interests in this crisis, will now be subjected to an endurance test directed at the soft political heart of its construction. Europe’s leaders – first and foremost Germany and France, which will play the deciding role – must act quickly and put through new, imaginative solutions.
在本轮危机中，欧元成为了捍卫欧洲利益的关键工具，现在，它脆弱的政治心脏不得不经受一次耐力测试。欧洲国家的领导人，首先是德国和法国的领导人，必须迅速行动起来，推出新的、富有想象力的解决方案。这样的方案肯定不便宜，因此也包含着相当大的政治风险。但是，根据全球经济环境预测，未来几年都将是增长乏力，有鉴于此，如果现在不赶紧行动，局面很快会变得更糟糕。
