I do not ask for these things out of a narrow concern for my country’s health. Just as the US Federal Reserve has engaged in credit and currency swaps with Brazil, Mexico, Singapore, and South Korea and other countries to ease their access to the dollars they need, the European Central Bank must offer such swap arrangements to Europe’s non-euro countries in order for trade and production processes to continue.
我提出上述建议并非只是为了狭隘的国家利益。就像美联储与巴西、墨西哥、新加坡、南韩以及其他国家进行信贷和货币兑换来满足他们对美元的需求一样，欧洲央行也必须为欧洲的非欧元国家提供这样的兑换选择，以确保贸易和生产程序能够继续下去。
