Don't know your Drachma from your Troika? Here we explain some of the Greek debt crisis jargon you may have read, but not recognised.
搞不清Drachma和Troika的意思？我們?yōu)榇蠹医庾x一些希臘債務危機中的專業(yè)詞匯，你可能見過這些詞，但不見得都認識。

Austerity 緊縮

Europe-wide economic policy of reducing government spending to reduce deficit or borrowing. Austerity measures were implemented in Greece as a condition of bailout loans, but rejected by its new anti-austerity government in January.
歐洲范圍內(nèi)實行的經(jīng)濟政策，主要是通過縮減政府開支減少赤字或借貸。希臘獲得援助貸款的前提就是實施緊縮政策，但是今年1月新組建的政府反對緊縮，拒絕執(zhí)行。

Drachma 德拉克馬

Greek currency before it was replaced by euro in 2001. The word translates as "handful". One of the world's earliest currencies, and the oldest in Europe, the drachma dates back as far as 1,100BC. It could soon make a hasty comeback.
2001年歐元通行之前希臘的貨幣。這個詞的意思是“少量”。德拉克馬是世界上最早出現(xiàn)的貨幣，也是歐洲最古老的貨幣，可以追溯到公元前1100年。或許過不了多久，這個貨幣就要回歸了呢。

Grexit 希臘退出歐元區(qū)

Short for "Greek exit" from the Eurozone. First coined by financial analysts in 2012 and now a real and looming possibility. Not to be confused with "Brexit" - the possibility of Britain leaving the EU.
這個詞是“希臘退出歐元區(qū)”的縮寫形式，2012年由金融分析人士首創(chuàng)，現(xiàn)在倒真真切切近在眼前了。可不要跟Brexit搞混了哦，后者是指英國可能脫離歐盟。

Greferendum 希臘公投

Another handy portmanteau - short for "Greek referendum". The outcome of Greece's debt crisis now rests in the hands of its people after Greece announced it would hold a referendum on 5 July on the terms of its debts.
這是又一個容易看穿的合成詞，是“希臘公投”的縮寫形式。希臘債務危機的最后走向現(xiàn)在掌握在全體希臘人民的手中，希臘政府宣布將于7月5日舉行公投來決定債務解決條款。

ECB(European Central Bank) 歐洲央行

The ECB is the central bank of the eurozone and is responsible for setting the currency's monetary policy. It is owed about 6% of Greece's overall debt.
歐洲央行是歐元區(qū)的中央銀行，負責制定歐元的貨幣政策。希臘的債務總額中有6%是欠歐洲央行的。

ELA(Emergency Liquidity Assistance) 緊急流動性援助

Emergency cash, in effect, loaned to Greece by the ECB to make sure Greek banks stay afloat while the country negotiates with its creditors.
應急資金，目前正在實施，由歐洲央行借給希臘以確保該國政府與債權方商討債務方案時，希臘銀行能夠保持資金流動。
