What will not work, at least for most eurozone countries, is internal devaluation – that is, forcing down wages and prices – as this would increase the debt burden for households, firms, and governments (which overwhelmingly hold euro-denominated debts). And, with adjustments in different sectors occurring at different speeds, deflation would fuel massive distortions in the economy.
至少对大部分欧元区国家来说不会起作用的是内部贬值——也就是压低工资和物价——因为这会增加家庭、公司和政府（它们持有绝大部分以欧元计价的债务）的债务负担。由于不同领域以不同的速度进行调整，通货紧缩会加剧经济体内部的大规模扭曲失衡。
