双语新闻：西班牙首相敦促德国提振增长
Spain urges Germany to boost growthMariano Rajoy has called on Germany and other creditorcountries in the eurozone to do more to stimulate growth, arguing that a switch to a more expansionary policy wouldboost economic recovery across the single currency area.
西班牙首相马里亚诺 拉霍伊(Mariano Rajoy)呼吁德国和欧元区其它债权国采取更多行动刺激增长，他辩称，转向更为扩张性的政策将提振整个欧元区的经济复苏。
“I think that in this moment, when there is a need for growth, those who are able to implementgrowth policies should do it,” the Spanish prime minister told the Financial Times in an interview. “What is clear is that you cannot ask Spain to adopt expansionary policies at this time. But thosecountries that can, should.”
“我认为就目前而言，在迫切需要实现增长的情况下，那些有能力实施增长政策的国家应当这么做，”拉霍伊在接受英国《金融时报》采访时表示。“显然，你现在不能要求西班牙采取扩张性的政策。但那些在这方面能够有所作为的国家，应当有所作为。”
Launching a vigorous defence of his own economic crisis management, Mr Rajoy also insisted thatSpain was right not to request aid from the European Central Bank last year – and ruled out anysuch move for the time being.
拉霍伊为自己的经济危机管理进行了强力辩护，他坚称，西班牙去年没有向欧洲央行(ECB)请求援助是正确的，并排除了现阶段采取此举的可能性。
Facing soaring unemployment and a second year of recession, Spain has come under strongpressure from investors to trigger the ECB’s outright monetary transactions programme. Thiswould allow the bank to buy Spanish bonds in the secondary market, driving down the cost ofborrowing for Madrid and, by extension, the country’s private sector.
失业率飙升、经济衰退进入第二年的西班牙，已受到投资者的强大压力，要求其触发欧洲央行的直接货币交易(Outright Monetary Transactions，简称OMT)计划。这将使欧洲央行能够在二级市场购买西班牙债券，压低西班牙政府乃至该国私营部门的举债成本。
The Spanish government has been sharply criticised at home and abroad for its response to thecountry’s economic crisis, and in particular to last year’s turmoil in the banking sector. In June, Madrid was forced to seek a €100bn bailout from the EU for its troubled lenders – despite repeatedassurances from senior Spanish officials that the sector was in good health.
西班牙政府对该国经济危机（尤其是去年的银行业动荡）的回应，在国内外都招致严厉批评。去年6月，西班牙政府被迫为陷入困境的几家国内银行请求欧盟提供1000亿欧元纾困，尽管该国高级官员多次保证说，西班牙银行业处于良好健康状态。
