MILAN – Italians and other Europeans have serious problems addressing their own national debts, public and private, so it may seem immodest for a European to discuss America’s growing and grave debt problem. But the fiscal realities on both sides of the Atlantic nowadays are very similar, and only lingering trust in the promise of America keeps alive the expectation among some Europeans that some grand American coup de théâtrewill resolve the country’s dire debt situation.
发自米兰——意大利以及其他欧洲国家都在处理本国公/私债务方面面临着严重问题，因此让身为一个欧洲人的我来谈论美国不断加剧的债务问题似乎有点不太厚道。但如今大西洋两岸的财政困境其实异常相似，摇摇欲坠，在许多欧洲人看来，只能寄望于美国能够做出某些惊世之举，戏剧性地解决自身的债务问题了。
