On the face of it, the “voluntary” arrangement with creditors might appear to have been a big success. The volume of Greece’s foreign debt has been reduced by more than €100 billion ($130 billion).
表面上看，对债权人的“自愿”政策，似乎一直是个很大的成功。希腊的外债额已减少了1000多亿欧元（约合1300亿美元）。希腊的欧洲伙伴为其提供了1300亿欧元的新贷款。因此，希腊逃过了大范围的银行倒闭这一浩劫，此外它已经能够继续为其公共部门的雇员发放薪水。
