Stock markets rallied after German Chancellor Angela Merkel called Friday for stricter fiscal rules for the 17-nation eurozone. In a speech before the German parliament, Merkel warned it will take years before the struggling currency union gets back on its feet -- echoing similar remarks aired the day before by her French counterpart, Nicolas Sarkozy.
在德国总理默克尔12月2日(星期五)呼吁欧元区17国实行更加严格的金融规章后，股市随之反弹。默克尔在德国议会发表讲话时警告说，在竭力挣扎的欧元区需要很多年才能恢复元气。法国总统萨科奇一天前也表达了同样的看法。
Speaking before the German parliament, Merkel said there are no simple or fast solutions for Europe's spreading sovereign debt and banking woes. But she also dismissed suggestions that Europe's leaders only have one last shot to fix the problems when they meet at a summit next week.
默克尔在德国议会讲话时说，对在欧洲蔓延的主权债务和银行灾难没有简单或迅速的解决方案。不过，她也驳斥了另一种说法，认为欧洲领导人只有最后一次机会，在下周召开的峰会上解决问题。
Merkel said the eurozone crisis was not just a state crisis but a crisis of trust, as investors shun the eurozone bond market, banks dump government debt, and doubts grow about the survival of the euro union.
默克尔说，欧元区危机不仅是一场国家危机，而且也是一场信任危机，因为投资者已开始躲避欧洲的债券市场，银行不要政府的债务，人们对欧元区能否存在下去的疑问越来越多。
Germany is the eurozone's most powerful member, and Merkel's speech was closely followed at home and abroad. The German chancellor holds talks Monday in Paris with President Nicolas Sarkozy of France - Europe's second-largest economy. The two leaders hope to cobble a joint rescue plan before next Thursday's European Union summit.
德国是欧元区最强大的成员国，因此，默克尔的讲话在国内外受到密切的关注。这位德国总理下星期一将在巴黎与法国总统萨科奇会谈，法国是欧元区第二大经济体。这两位领导人希望在下周四欧盟峰会举行之前研究出一套联合救助方案。
The French and German leaders want to amend key European treaties to provide greater fiscal oversight and governance over the ailing, 17-member euro currency union. Following talks in Paris Monday, they outlined a series of measures to resolve the eurozone crisis that they plan to present at a European Union summit this week.
法国和德国的领导人希望修正几项主要的欧盟条约，对17个疲弱不振的欧元国家，作更广泛的财政监督和管理机制。在星期一的巴黎会谈之后，两国提出了一系列欧元地区危机解决方案的大纲，并计划在本星期的欧盟高峰会中提出。
Europe's two biggest economies appear to have resolved major differences on how to save the euro currency union.
这两个欧洲最大的经济体，显然已经在如何解救欧元体系危机的问题上，消除了主要的歧见。
Speaking at a joint news conference with his German counterpart, Angela Merkel, French President Nicolas Sarkozy outlined a series of steps the two leaders have agreed on. Key among them are mandatory limits on budget deficits that eurozone members must adhere to, or risk possible sanctions. Both want eurozone nations to meet monthly to deal with the crisis. And they want the new rules to be part of a renegotated European Union treaty to be completed by March.
萨科齐总统在和德国总理默克尔共同举行的记者会上，列举了两位领导人一致同意的一系列步骤。其中主要部分是，规定欧元国家必须遵守的预算赤字限度，否则将受到制裁。两国都希望欧元国家每月集会一次，共同研商应付财政危机的方法。他们也希望，这项新的规定，纳入重新修订的欧盟条约之中。修订工作，预期于明年三月完成。
Sarkozy said Europe's sovereign debt and banking crisis makes it all the more critical for France and Germany to offer a united front. To disagree, he said, is to risk having Europe and the euro currency explode.
萨科齐又说：欧洲的主权债务和银行危机，使德、法两国更为迫切地须要联手形成共同阵线。他说，歧见的存在，将使欧洲和欧元面临危机爆发的风险。
Angela Merkel said Europe faces a very difficult situation. It is critical to reestablish confidence on the part of investors and the international community.
德国总理默克尔说：欧洲正面临着非常严重的情势。在重建投资人和国际社会的信心上，这项条约修订的内容是非常迫切需要的。 |
