PRINCETON – At the recent meeting of G-20 finance ministers in Australia, US Treasury Secretary Jack Lew noted “philosophical differences with some of our friends in Europe,” before urging Europeans to do more to boost their anemic growth rate. The terminology is striking, and underscores the difficulty of Europe’s search for a way out of its current malaise.
普林斯顿—在最近的澳大利亚二十国集团财长会议上，美国财政部长杰克·卢指出“与我们的一些欧洲朋友之间存在哲学差异，”接着敦促欧洲花更大力气提振其长期萎靡不振的增长率。如此用词令人震惊，也凸显出欧洲探寻走出经济萎靡之路的艰难。
