But the political response has been too little, too late, to say the least. The most likely scenario is more of the same: austerity, weaker economies, more unemployment, and continuing deficits, with European leaders doing the minimum to fend off crisis for the moment.
但政治反应太平静，来得也太晚。最有可能发生的是更多的重复：紧缩、经济进一步疲软、失业进一步抬头、居高不下的赤字，而欧洲领导人在抵御眼下的危机方面一直不肯动手。简言之，就是更加混乱。
