Moreover, the new EU member states in Eastern Europe, which have neither the economic strength nor the political stability of long-term members, are now beginning to take a nosedive. Given the exposure of some euro-zone states such as Austria, this crisis will also affect the euro area directly.
此外，欧盟的东欧新成员国既没有经济实力也没有长期成员国那样的政治上的稳定，它们现在的情况开始急剧恶化。鉴于一些欧元区国家如奥地利也不能幸免，这场危机也将直接影响到欧元区。因此，等待和观望是个错误的战略。
