Tsipras might be “impetuous,” as his mainstream adversaries from the center-left Pasok and the center-right New Democracy would say, but he is not irrational. His is a rather sober reading of reality: the austerity plan has become a highway to social hell for his countrymen, and would likely condemn Greece to long years of ruinous depression within a permanent debt trap, and possibly to a breakdown of democracy.
奇普拉斯也许有些“冲动”，其中左翼泛希腊社会运动党（Pasok）和中右翼新民主党的竞争对手会如是说，但绝不是非理性的。他的口号可谓对现实有着清醒的认识：对他的同胞来说，紧缩计划不啻通往社会地狱的高速公路，可能会让希腊陷入多年的破坏性衰退，在甩不掉的债务陷阱中苦苦挣扎，甚至可能导致民主制度崩溃。
