The ECB should be preparing Europeans for what many of its own officials admit in private: Europe has not “de-coupled” from the US. On the contrary, America’s current economic difficulties will hit Europe hard, but with a time lag – the best guess being 2009.
ECB应该让欧洲人接受一个其官员在私下里都承认的事实：欧洲并没有和美国“脱钩”。相反，美国目前的经济困境会给欧洲造成强烈冲击，但有一个时间差—最乐观的估计是到2009年。
