希腊偿债能力遭质疑 全球市场重挫

Greece, Germany, France and 14 other nations share the euro currency, and that ties their economies, strengths and problems all together.

希腊、德国、法国和其它14个国家同属欧元体系。这把他们的经济、实力以及遭遇的困难，都紧紧地绑在一起。

That is one reason Greek problems are raising concern about the financial soundness of the eurozone's third and fourth-largest economies, Italy and Spain.

这就是希腊的问题引起各方关切欧元地区第三和第四大经济体意大利和西班牙的财务结构是否健全的一个原因。

The head of the European Central Bank, Jean-Claude Trichet, urged Greece to meet its obligations and ease the crisis.

欧洲中央银行总裁特里谢呼吁希腊履行它的义务，并缓和这次危机。

He also tried to reassure investors that the global economy is not headed back into recession.

他同时设法向投资人重申保证，全球经济不会再度衰退。

"We do not see a recession, in the cards, not at all. But we see a slowing down in comparison with what had been observed in the recent period," Trichet said.

特里谢说：“我们并不认为会出现衰退，完全不可能。但是我们看到目前的经济与不久前的时期比，有趋于迟缓的现象。”

Trichet spoke Monday, after meeting with central bankers from around the world. He said central banks are ready to take further actions to bolster the economy.

特里谢在与世界各国中央银行负责人会谈之后，发表上述谈话。他说，各国中央银行都准备好以更进一步的行动，来振兴经济。
