Papandreou had to reverse course quickly in response to both internal and external pressure,&#160;but the option that he put on the table will not go away whatever the fate of the present Greek government. As long as the Greek people have to be asked to accept one austerity package after another, they might wonder when they will have a direct say on this matter.
出于国内外的压力，帕潘德里欧被迫收回了成命，但不论希腊现任政府的命运如何，他所抛出的方案始终有实施的可能。只要希腊人民被迫要求接受一个又一个紧缩计划，他们就会考虑是不是应该对这个问题来个快刀斩乱麻。
