Over the past five years, a whopping €344 billion has flowed from official creditors like the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund into the coffers of the Greek government and the country’s commercial banks. But after six months of near-futile negotiations, exhaustion had set in and holidays were beckoning; so the actual conditions for a new Greek rescue were given short shrift.
在过去五年中，令人咋舌的3,440亿欧元从欧洲央行和国际货币基金组织（IMF）等官方债权人手中流向了希腊政府和商业银行的腰包。但在经历了为期六个月的几乎徒劳的谈判后，大家身心俱疲，而假期开始招手；因此，新希腊救援方案的实际条件没有收到重视。尽管欧洲金融稳定基金（European Financial Stability Facility）在7月3日官方宣布希腊破产，但欧元区领导人再一次将希腊资不抵债的帽子摘掉了。
