Other countries, by contrast, face ruinously high borrowing costs, which are simultaneously increasing the scale of their reform challenges and narrowing their political scope to address them. The longer Italian and Spanish borrowing costs remain at such elevated levels, the greater the damage to those economies, and the harder it will become to marshal the necessary political support for further reforms.
与此相反，其他国家面临着畸高的借贷成本，这同时导致了改革挑战的规模、挤压了纠正问题的政治空间。意大利和西班牙借贷成本在如此高水平停留得越久，两国经济受到的伤害就越大，动员必要政治支持进行进一步改革的难度也就越大。
