At one level, it is entirely understandable that Germany and other eurozone countries should demand assurances that their resources will not be wasted. But this constant need for reassurance, for the limiting of risk and involvement to the minimum necessary, provokes a fear that at some point Germany and others will judge their partners’ assurances insufficient and the risks run in helping them intolerable.
一方面，我们完全可以理解德国和其他欧元区国家应该要求确保它们所提供的资源不被浪费。但这一永恒的保证要求、这一限制风险和最小程度介入的要求引起了人们的担忧：德国和其他国家随时随地都可能认定其伙伴国的保证不够充分，帮助伙伴国得不偿失。如果发生了这一情况，欧元也就离崩溃不远了。
