The Germans, along with smaller creditor countries, are dead-set against any relaxation of austerity and are adamant that “structural reform" must remain a condition of further financing. They think that offering easier terms would be economically counterproductive, not least because it would give the Greeks an opportunity to go back to their bad old ways.
你也许会认为，希腊人与“三驾马车”（欧盟委员会、欧洲央行和国际货币基金组织）之间的谈判主要是为了达成关于经济形势的一致。但这只是一厢情愿。德国人以及其他较小规模的债权国誓死反对任何紧缩的放松，并坚决要求“结构改革”作为进一步融资的条件。它们认为放松条件不利于经济形势，因为这给了希腊走回恶劣老路的机会。
