The Greeks, for their part, have been putting their national identity ahead of their pocketbooks, in ways that economists do not understand and continually fail to predict. It is economically irrational for Greeks to prefer continued membership in the eurozone, when they could remain in the EU with a restored national currency that they could devalue.
希腊一直以经济学家无法理解和预测的方式将民族认同感放在民生问题之前考虑。因为留在欧盟及恢复使用可以贬值的国家货币原本可以兼得，希腊人宁愿保留欧盟成员资格的决策从经济上看并不合理。
