Having said that, there is room for a deal: Greece has made clear its willingness to engage in continued reforms, and has welcomed Europe’s help in implementing some of them. A dose of reality on the part of Greece’s creditors – about what is achievable, and about the macroeconomic consequences of different fiscal and structural reforms – could provide the basis of an agreement that would be good not only for Greece, but for all of Europe.
话虽如此，但仍有达成协议的空间：希腊明确表示愿意继续采取改革措施，也欢迎欧洲帮助其实施部分改革计划。希腊债权人方面的某些现实——关于可以实现什么，以及关于不同财政和结构改革的宏观经济结果——可以成为协议基础，不但对希腊有利，对整个欧洲都有利。
