这位德国总理将可能获得最新欧元挽救计划的批准---但它将不会是最后的方案

Jul 30th 2011 | BERLIN | from the print edition

当安吉拉·默克尔准备好度假时【参加拜罗伊特音乐节（译者注：拜罗伊特以每年一度在拜罗伊特节日剧院为瓦格纳的乐剧举行的拜罗伊特音乐节而闻名于世），在阿尔卑斯山徒步旅行】，她那种刚刚挽救了欧元的领导的感觉竟然比清理完自己写字台的主管的神气还要微弱。7月22日，在欧元区领导的一次危机峰会后，这位德国总理说道，人们渴望“出奇制胜的妙计”来稳定这种单一的货币，这点可以理解。然而，真正的解决方案应该是受人控制的一个过程。在此过程中，应采纳对问题核心取得进步的持续而协商的措施。

这种语言是典型的默克尔风格。评论者谴责她缺乏欧洲人的热情，而且金融市场严重恐慌之际仍迟疑不决。据报道，峰会之前，法国的总统尼古拉·萨科齐指责她“道德错误的”自私自利主义。但是，默克尔夫人认为，凭一腔放任的激情和过度草率的态度或许也可以解决欧元区的问题，但其政治代价却十分高昂。当能安全让巨龙法夫纳【译者注：(北欧神话中的)法夫纳（为Nibelung护宝的龙形巨人；被Sigurd所杀）】睡觉时，为什么试图杀戮他呢？

7月21日，这项由17个欧元区国家的领导人汇集而成的计划严格坚持这一哲理。这项计划十分大胆，其程度足以稳定市场，至少暂时可以。峰会前夕，欧元已经掩饰了德国选民最为关注的失业问题。但这项计划并没有大胆到激起纳税人公开的反抗。这些纳税人反对一个没完没了的补助给地中海国家“转帐联盟”。默克尔夫人认为，她会劝说联合政府的三个政党---她自己的基督教民主联盟（基民盟），其巴伐利亚人的姐妹党基督教社会联盟（基社盟）和自由民主党（自民党）接受这项计划。她应该能够不需要在野党的支持而获得德国联邦议院通过这项计划。

然而，德国对此鲜有热情。这项协议进一步脱离德国的主张。那就是妥善管理的经济体不应该为难以控制的经济体的错误付出代价。除了希腊的双倍计划的帮助外，德国对主要的紧急救助基金提供了新的职权并给予借贷这些紧急救助基金的那些人更低的利率以及更优厚的偿还债务条件。“面对公共风险”，欧元区“已经跨出了一大步，” 德国联邦银行主席延•魏德曼（Jens Weidmann）抱怨道，“这项计划削弱了财政职责为中心的货币联盟基础。” 德国金融稳定性首席监护人这样的警告不能被掉以轻心地处理---至少不是因为，在5月份去法兰克福之前，魏德曼先生是默克尔夫人总理府的主要经济顾问。

然而，为了避免柏林的叛乱，默克尔夫人在布鲁塞尔很可能如愿以偿了。她的主要成功之处在于获得私人投资者对希腊债务削减的“自愿的” 370亿欧元（相当于530亿美元）的捐助，尽管萨科齐和欧洲中央银行（简称欧洲央行）的顽强的反对。“他们终于迈出了重组的第一步，” 政府路线坚持不懈的批评者---《青年企业家协会》欢呼道。

这使得令人不快且不可接受的计划尚可忍受。这次紧急救助基金将被允许用以购买二手市场的债券，以保护这些国家受到金融危机的蔓延。德国联邦议院基督教民主联盟成员诺伯特•巴尔思尔（Norbert Barthle）承认，这次计划打破了只作为最后一招才应该干涉的原则。然而，如果没有欧洲中央银行和所有欧元区国家的批准，这项计划不可能生效。而且，虽然紧急救助基金现在有很多事情要做，给德国的另一个抚慰品就是它的规模没有增加。巴尔思尔先生（Mr. Barthle）说，新安排并不等同于一个转帐联盟，因为这项援助并不自动。只有那些削减了赤字并提高了竞争力的国家将有资格享有这项资助。他认为，“大部分我的同事们能确信这项折中办法的可靠性。”

并不是每个人都可被说服的。叛逆的自由民主党议会成员弗兰克•斯奇乐（Frank Schäffler）抱怨道，紧急救助基金在二级市场介入的新权力 “剥夺了议会决定预算的权利”。他预测，政府将召集不了大多数。社会民主党的议会领袖弗兰克•瓦尔特•施泰因迈尔（Frank-Walter Steinmeier）表示，联合政府可能会因欧元的问题而解体。

表面看起来，这项计划似乎可行。联盟党派只获得了三分之一多一点的选票；如果现在举行选举，自由民主党甚至可能得不到联邦议院超过5%的选票门槛。人们对欧元的焦虑说明了很多的不满。峰会前，接近90%的选民认为货币的稳定性面临危险；民意测验的选举研究小组（Forschungsgruppe Wahlen）表示，58%的选民反对给希腊提供更多帮助。不难想象，政治恐慌和欧洲人的责任意识间的紧张关系可能将联和政府毁坏。

直到现在，由于欧元的过度紧张对国内政治影响很小，然而，这次紧急救助可能不受欢迎。另一民意测验福沙（Forsa）的曼弗里德•格尤尔纳（Manfred Güllner）表示，因为欧元“你可能不会赢得或失去选举”。部分原因在于主要在野党对欧元比对联合政府更友好。不像其邻国，德国已没有值得一提的欧元怀疑党。可以想象到的是，摇摇欲坠的自由民主党可能被诱惑进那个方向以便拼命地回到联邦议院。但是，联邦议院主席菲利普•罗斯勒（Philipp Rösler）已经非正式表示对峰会一揽子计划的支持。

假如还有另外一轮的边缘政策和谈判，反对民粹主义的堡垒可能会被压碎。这也可能容易发生。希腊的债务补助看起来并不够（而且私人债权人的参与可能也未能达到预期的状况）。假如危机再一次威胁西班牙或，更糟糕的是，意大利，欧元区仍然还没有足够的火力。欧洲的领导人“仅仅为了推迟危机的时间，” 杜伊斯堡 - 埃森大学的经济学家安斯加尔•贝尔克（Ansgar Belke）如是说道。当时间用完了之时，现在一些不令人愉快且不易让人接受的想法---诸如所有欧元国家支持的“欧元债券”的发行---可能迫使他们接受而提上日程。

默克尔夫人启程前往巴伐利亚州，希望参加峰会者做得已足够打动市场并置欧元于一个更加稳定的基础之上。根据巴尔思尔先生（Mr Barthle）的说法，未完成的主要项目就是赢得市民的支持。他们需要确信他们自己的和欧洲的繁荣“从根本上取决于克服这次危机与否。”他是对的，无论巨龙法夫纳再次唤醒与否。

It is sometimes referred to as "Buba" for Bundesbank.[1]

The Bundesbank was established in 1957 and succeeded the Bank deutscher Länder, which introduced the Deutsche Mark on 20 June 1948. Until the euro was physically introduced in 2002, the Deutsche Bundesbank was the central bank of the former Deutsche Mark ("German Mark", sometimes known in English as the "Deutschmark").

The Deutsche Bundesbank was the first central bank to be given full independence, leading this form of central bank to be referred to as the Bundesbank model, as opposed, for instance, to the New Zealand model, which has a goal (i.e. inflation target) set by the government.

The Bundesbank was greatly respected for its control of inflation through the second half of the 20th century. This made the German Mark one of the most respected currencies, and the Bundesbank gained substantial indirect influence in many European countries.

人们“渴望印象非常深刻且很难获得的客观现实” 来稳定单一货币
"渴望印象非常深刻且很难获得的客观现实" 这个岂能将英文解释直译啊?!太怪异了!无论如何要斟酌出一个词换掉才好啊!

翻成：人们渴望“难以获得的引人注目的客观现实”来稳定这种单一的货币，这点可以理解。

当时正在修改其它地方，一下子没有办法腾出时间修改这句话；而且这句话确实感觉比较难以一下子修改好。多谢你指出这句话。现在这句译文应该改进了很多。多谢你！

引用 contrary 2011-8-4 09:08: 人们渴望“难以获得的引人注目的客观现实”来稳定这种单一的货币
这个版本我仍然觉得不好，一是太长，二是费解，
首先，我认为这里可不必拘泥于“客观现实”四个字，其实原文的意思我觉得是人们渴望实行某种措施或政策，从而出现这种“客观现实”。
其次，“难以获得的引人注目的”可以试着用一个词来代替，比如“无与伦比”（或者其他）其实就含有难得、惊人的意思，既然杰出那就自然会引人注目了。反正我的意思是不必拘泥原来那两个成语。

参考：人们渴望会有某种“无与伦比的良方妙计”来稳定欧元这种单一货币
个人意见~~不同意就再讨论~~

1. coup不是客观事实，看mw 的解释更好理解 a brilliant, sudden, and usually highly successful stroke or act 出奇制胜？得找一个合适的词。
多谢你的解释！这个“出奇制胜”不错。

2. it will not be the last such scheme 也就是说，这不是最后一次，以后还会有这样的scheme，中文没有把这个意思翻出来。
这里的意思当然不会是最后一次，应该原来的译文也表达了。问题是，如果译成“但它将不是最后一次这样的方案”，为了中文表达，将“一次这样的”去掉，变成“但它将不是最后的方案”，意味着还会有其它方案。翻译中有些增增减减词语也是非常正常的方法。
如果一定要翻译出来，请提供一个合适的译文。如果很好，当然我会采用。
