(单词翻译)
Anger that the government's plans yield more cuts was directed to the policemen in Athens last night. Two thousand protested to against proposed austerity measures. Some throwing missiles at policemen in riot gear, ten were arrested.
In the later of day, evidence of cuts isn't quite so visible. Prices at this market havn't changed yet.But after the government's request for an emergency bailout of 45 billion Euros from the European Union and the International Monetary1 Fund, shoppers are expecting everyday necessities to get more expensive.
Now prices are good, however the worst thing is that they go higher and higher as days go by and this is something we can not cope with.
The IMF is currently meeting to consider the aid request already agreed in principle by other EU nations. Germany will be the biggest contributor, perhaps the reasons some of their politicians have called for Greece to leave the Eurozone. If Greece defaults on its massive debts, the consequences will be far reaching even touching2 British shores.
Clearly if the Eurozone, our European partners are affected3 by this crisis, if their growth turns out to be weaker, then of course it will have an impact on UK's economy. This is our major trading partner, we are locked into the EU for good reasons and I think that we can't help and see some repercussions4.
The worry knows that Greece's troubles may spread to other EU member countries, but even if the rescue packages is approved, Greece still faces years of painful cutbacks and long-term financial difficulty.
