  Don't know your Drachma from your Troika? Here we explain some of the Greek debt crisis jargon you may have read, but not recognised.

  搞不清Drachma和Troika的意思?我们为大家解读一些希腊债务危机中的专业词汇,你可能见过这些词,但不见得都认识。

  Austerity 紧缩

  Europe-wide economic policy of reducing government spending to reduce deficit or borrowing. Austerity measures were implemented in Greece as a condition of bailout loans, but rejected by its new anti-austerity government in January.

  欧洲范围内实行的经济政策,主要是通过缩减政府开支减少赤字或借贷。希腊获得援助贷款的前提就是实施紧缩政策,但是今年1月新组建的政府反对紧缩,拒绝执行。

  Drachma 德拉克马

  Greek currency before it was replaced by euro in 2001. The word translates as "handful". One of the world's earliest currencies, and the oldest in Europe, the drachma dates back as far as 1,100BC. It could soon make a hasty comeback.

  2001年欧元通行之前希腊的货币。这个词的意思是“少量”。德拉克马是世界上最早出现的货币,也是欧洲最古老的货币,可以追溯到公元前1100年。或许过不了多久,这个货币就要回归了呢。

  Grexit 希腊退出欧元区

  Short for "Greek exit" from the Eurozone. First coined by financial analysts in 2012 and now a real and looming possibility. Not to be confused with "Brexit" - the possibility of Britain leaving the EU.

  这个词是“希腊退出欧元区”的缩写形式,2012年由金融分析人士首创,现在倒真真切切近在眼前了。可不要跟Brexit搞混了哦,后者是指英国可能脱离欧盟。

  Greferendum 希腊公投

  Another handy portmanteau - short for "Greek referendum". The outcome of Greece's debt crisis now rests in the hands of its people after Greece announced it would hold a referendum on 5 July on the terms of its debts.

  这是又一个容易看穿的合成词,是“希腊公投”的缩写形式。希腊债务危机的最后走向现在掌握在全体希腊人民的手中,希腊政府宣布将于7月5日举行公投来决定债务解决条款。

  ECB(European Central Bank) 欧洲央行

  The ECB is the central bank of the eurozone and is responsible for setting the currency's monetary policy. It is owed about 6% of Greece's overall debt.

  欧洲央行是欧元区的中央银行,负责制定欧元的货币政策。希腊的债务总额中有6%是欠欧洲央行的。

  ELA(Emergency Liquidity Assistance) 紧急流动性援助

  Emergency cash, in effect, loaned to Greece by the ECB to make sure Greek banks stay afloat while the country negotiates with its creditors.

  应急资金,目前正在实施,由欧洲央行借给希腊以确保该国政府与债权方商讨债务方案时,希腊银行能够保持资金流动。
