Just as financial markets seem to have calmed, European leaders have once again raised expectations of a major policy move – only to see yet another summit devolve into squabbling. It is hard to imagine how Europe’s policy differences can be overcome by the leaders’ self-imposed March deadline, when the next summit will take place.
而正如金融市场似乎变得平静那样，欧洲领导人再一次燃起了实现重大政策跨越的期望——却也再一次见证了峰会沦在一片争吵中破裂。很难想象欧洲各国的政策差异能在领袖们自我下达的期限内——他们宣称“到下次峰会召开时就能解决”——得到弥合。
