Just as Byrnes’ address was short on detail but long on symbolism, a “Speech of Hope” for Greece does not have to be technical. It should simply mark a sea change, a break with the past five years of adding new loans on top of already unsustainable debt, conditional on further doses of punitive austerity.
这个《希望的演讲》应该包含哪些内容？正如拜恩斯的演讲不纠结于细节而是强调象征意义，希腊的《希望的演讲》也不必具有很强的技术性。它只需要标志一个巨变，一个与在已经不可持续的债务负担头上继续增加新贷款的过去的五年的决裂，并以未来惩罚性紧缩为条件。
