The news from Greece these days has been dominated by the announcement that the government achieved a primary budget surplus (the fiscal balance minus debt service) in 2013. For the first time in decades, the Greek government has been able to pay for its expenditure with its own revenues.
最近这些天来，来自希腊的最重要的消息是政府宣布实现了2013年初级预算盈余（财政余额减去债务利息）。这是几十年来希腊政府第一次能够依靠自己的收入支付自己的支出。
