But the real danger – which even Hollande’s sternest critics may be underestimating – is not so much his individual policy failings (serious though they may be) as his approach to the twin challenges posed by France’s economic imbalances and the eurozone crisis. On each front separately, he might manage to muddle through; together, they look likely to cement France’s loss of competitiveness.
但真正的危险——即使是对奥朗德最为严苛的批评者也低估了这一危险——并不完全在于个别政策会因奥朗德追求应对法国经济失衡和欧元区危机双重挑战的计划而失败（尽管这很严重）。单独地看，这两个方面他都可以蒙混过关；但合在一起，它们可能会恶化法国竞争力下降的状况。
