Many have questioned whether agonizing reforms are entirely necessary; if the country returned to the drachma, they suggest, it could implement interest-rate cuts and devalue its exchange rate, thereby engineering an export-led recovery. But, given Greece’s small export sector, not to mention the weakness of the global economy, such a recovery may be impossible.
许多人质疑痛苦的改革是否完全必要；他们认为，如果希腊重新启用德拉克马，就能实施降息和汇率贬值，从而提振出口拉动型复苏。但是，希腊出口部门规模很小，全球经济也处于疲软状态，强劲复苏是不可能的任务。希腊的最佳选择还是改革。
