Throughout the crisis, it has been widely assumed – at least so far – that the eurozone core would remain solid, and would continue to write the checks for the periphery’s distressed governments and banks. That assumption appeared plausible.
在整个危机过程中——至少到目前为止是如此——人们都认为欧元区核心国将保持坚挺，并会不断向外围国受困政府和银行输血。这一观点看起来颇有道理。“两速”欧洲乃是新常态。
