The Greek crisis is liable to come to a climax in the fall, even if the election produces a government that is willing to abide by Greece’s current agreement with its creditors. By that time, the German economy will also be weakening, so that Chancellor Angela Merkel will find it even more difficult than today to persuade the German public to accept additional European responsibilities.
但我们正处在拐点上。希腊危机可能会在秋季达到高潮，即使愿意遵守当前希腊与债权国协议者在大选中胜出也是如此。到了那时，德国经济可能也已经出现颓势，因此首相默克尔比现在更难说服德国公众接受更多的欧洲责任。
