CAMBRIDGE – The $140 billion support package that the Greek government has finally received from its European Union partners and the International Monetary Fund gives it the breathing space needed to undertake the difficult job of putting its finances in order. The package may or may not prevent Spain and Portugal from becoming undone in a similar fashion, or indeed even head off an eventual Greek default.
坎布里奇——希腊政府最终从欧盟伙伴和国际货币基金组织得到的1400亿美元的一揽子援助款让他们赢得了完成恢复金融秩序这项艰巨任务所必不可少的喘息空间。 这项援助计划或许能、或许不能防止西班牙和葡萄牙同样变得一蹶不振，甚至可能都无法防止希腊债务违约的最终发生。 无论结果怎样，希腊经济的崩溃显然都已经令欧盟鼻青脸肿。
