希臘：救助協(xié)議取得重大突破（雙語新聞）

　　Eurozone finance ministers say they have reached a "major breakthrough" in negotiating the latest debt relief deal for Greece after hours of discussion in Brussels Tuesday night.

　　歐元區(qū)成員國的財政部長們表示，星期二晚間在布魯塞爾經(jīng)過連續(xù)幾個小時的討論后，他們就重新安排希臘償還債務(wù)的問題取得了“重大突破”。

　　The International Monetary Fund (IMF) had demanded a reduction in Greece's debt burden as a condition of further IMF bailout funds.

　　國際貨幣基金組織要求減輕希臘的債務(wù)負擔，以此作為繼續(xù)向希臘發(fā)放救助貸款的條件。 　　Greece will receive the first part of an $11.4 billion bailout in June, following EU approval of its recent reform efforts.

　　歐盟對希臘最近采取的改革措施表示認可后，希臘將于6月收到總額為114億美元的救助貸款的第一部分。

　　This is the latest bailout in a six-year saga of economic troubles which have led to Greece's current public debt of about 180 percent of gross domestic product.

　　希臘的經(jīng)濟困境已持續(xù)了6年，目前希臘的國債高達國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值的180%。

　　The difficult political agreement was met with resistance, particularly by Eurozone powerhouse Germany which, having continuously called for more austerity, claims this bailout was not necessary.

　　救助希臘的政治協(xié)議在談判中遇到了阻力，尤其來自歐元區(qū)強國德國。德國一直要求希臘采取更嚴厲的緊縮措施，認為不需要再為希臘提供救助貸款。

　　But Greece urgently needs the first tranche of $8.4 billion to pay off loans to the European Central bank and the IMF by July.

　　但希臘目前亟需84億美元，償還7月到期的歐洲中央銀行和國際貨幣基金組織的債務(wù)。
