The irony is that the euro has been a hugely successful project, bringing considerable stability to participating countries. Indeed, without the single currency, many of these countries would have succumbed to a downward spiral of devaluation, default, and recourse to the IMF.
而讽刺的是欧元原本是一个对欧元区国家起到极大稳定作用的壮举。事实上如果没有了这个单一货币，区内许多国家早就跌入了一个货币贬值，债务违约，IMF求助，接着又再贬值的螺旋下跌通道之中。
