Germany would do well to remember that it has benefited from debt write-downs three times in its history. The Dawes Plan of 1924 sought to stagger Germany’s reparations payments for World War I. The Young Plan of 1929 reduced the sum that Germany owed in reparations and gave the country much more time to pay.
德国应该好好想想其历史上三次大大受益于债务减记的经历。1924年的道威斯计划（Dawes Plan）缓解了德国对一战赔款的偿付。1929年杨格计划（Young Plan）减少了德国赔款债务总额，延长了赔付时间。二战后的马歇尔计划（Marshall Plan）也提供了债务纾解。
