口语节目地址：http://bulo.hujiang.com/menu/2120/item/706107/One is a former European commissioner, a professor, an academic, an economist and a technocrat. The other has dominated Italian politics for the past two decades, dodged dozens of indictments, being convicted for tax evasion, as at the centre of a sex trial and owns a huge chunk of Italy's broadcast media. No prizes for guessing which of these two leaders financial markets and much of the leadership of the rest of the eurozone would prefer to have in power in Italy. But with Mario Monti's imminent departure as Italian premier and Silvio Berlusconi's bid to replace him in elections which could take place as soon as this coming February, Italy's economic future is looking increasingly uncertain. What is almost certain, though, is that austerity and Germany's economic domination of Europe are likely to be big election topics in any elections and Mr Berlusconi's campaigning against both. So what do Italians think? Are they tired of Mr Mario Monti's austerity? Does the country need a change? We got the view from the streets of Rome.
"My assessment of the Monti government is mainly negative. This policy of cuts has brought the country to a dramatic situation. People can't make it to the end of the month. If these policies continue, I don't know what would become of this country."
"Monti didn't do anything other than following what had been promised to the European Union by Berlusconi, who now puzzles us by saying he wants to come back. So I have nothing against Monti. The situation was complicated. And in fact maybe it's better if he stays a bit longer."一位是前欧洲委员会委员，教授，学者，经济学家和技术统治论者。另一位是统治意大利政坛长达20年之久的政治家，曾躲过很多控诉，现被指控逃税，并深陷性侵审判的漩涡，同时掌舵大批意大利广播媒体。猜测两者之间谁更受金融市场和欧元区其他领导人青睐执掌意大利完全毫无意义。但是随着马里奥·蒙蒂担任意大利总理的任期将尽，西尔维奥·贝卢斯科尼开始参加竞选并宣称要在来年2月份的选举中取代蒙蒂的位子，意大利的经济前景将更加充满不确定性。
但现在几乎可以确定，经济紧缩政策和德国经济在欧洲的统治地位，很有可能成为任何选举中最大的话题，贝卢斯科尼的竞选纲领对这两个问题都持反对意见。那么意大利人民对此问题怎么看？他们对马里奥·蒙蒂的紧缩政策感到厌倦吗？这个国家需要变革吗？我们在罗马的大街上采访到了一些观点。
“我对蒙蒂政府的评价基本持否定态度。降低财政支出的政策令全国陷入糟糕的境地。百姓的生计可能撑不过这个月底了。如果继续实行这些政策，真不知道这个国家将变成啥样。”
"蒙蒂只是按照贝卢斯科尼对欧盟的承诺接着做下去，他没做什么不对的事，贝卢斯科尼说现在他想重返政坛，真令人们困惑。我完全不反对蒙蒂。情况很复杂，事实上如果他统治久些，情况可能会更好。"
