By contrast, growth prospects in Europe today are rather dim, and interest payments, even for Greece or Italy, account for less than 20% of total revenues. The real problem is the rollover of existing debt in a stagnating economy.
与美国相反，如今欧洲的增长前景十分黯淡，而即使是意大利和希腊，利息支付也只占总岁入的20%。真正的问题是在经济停滞的情况下展期现有债务。比如，从结构上说，意大利很快就会实现平衡预算，但它仍必须面对为每年到期的旧债再融资的问题。
