財政部長警告 希臘經濟可能在2周內崩潰

Greece's finance minister says his country's financial situation is "terribly urgent" and the crisis could come to a head in a couple of weeks.
希臘財政部長表示，國家財政狀況“萬分緊急”，危機可能在2周後發生。

Yanis Varoufakis gave the warning after eurozone finance ministers met in Brussels to discuss the final €7.2bn tranche of Greece's €240bn EU/IMF bailout.
歐盟財長們在布魯塞爾舉行會議，就歐盟和國際貨幣基金組織爲希臘提供的2400億歐元緊急援助中的最後一筆（72億歐元）展開討論。會後，希臘財長雅尼斯·瓦魯法克斯給出以上警告。

Ministers said Greece had made "progress" but more work was needed.
財長們表示，希臘的情況有所“進展”，但還需要做更多的工作。

The Greek government is struggling to meet its payment obligations.
希臘政府在履行償付義務上遭遇困難。

Earlier, Greece began the transfer of €750m in debt interest to the International Monetary Fund - a day ahead of a payment deadline.
早些時候，希臘提前一天開始向國際貨幣基金組織支付7.5億歐元的債務利息。

"The liquidity issue is a terribly urgent issue. It's common knowledge, let's not beat around the bush," Mr Varoufakis told reporters in Brussels.
在布魯塞爾，瓦魯法克斯向記者指出：“流動性問題萬分緊急。這是常識，我們不要拐彎抹角。”

"From the perspective [of timing], we are talking about the next couple of weeks."
“從時間上看，我們說的是未來2周的事情。”

The crisis has raised the prospect that Greece might default on its debts and leave the euro.
這一危機增加了希臘無法按時償還債務並離開歐元區的可能性。

The eurozone is insisting on a rigorous regime of reforms, including cuts to pensions, in return for the bailout, but Greece's anti-austerity Syriza-led government is resisting the tough terms.
歐元區堅持要進行嚴格的重組，其中包括作爲對緊急援助的回報，削減退休金。但由激進左翼聯盟領導的希臘政府反對財政緊縮和這些嚴格的條款。

In a statement, the eurozone finance ministers said they "welcomed the progress that has been achieved so far" in the negotiations, but added: "We acknowledged that more time and effort are needed to bridge the gaps on the remaining open issues."
歐盟區的財長們在一項聲明中指出，他們“對目前談判中取得的進展表示歡迎”，但同時表示“我們認爲需要更多的時間和努力來克服餘下的問題。”

Eurogroup chairman Jeroen Dijsselbloem said there had to be a full deal on the bailout before Greece received any further payments.
歐洲集團主席戴塞爾布盧姆指出，在關於緊急援助的條款完全達成之前，希臘不會收到任何援款。

"There are time constraints and liquidity constraints and hopefully we will reach an agreement before time runs out and before money runs out," he said.
他說：“時間和流動性都非常緊迫，希望我們能在時間和金錢耗盡之前達成協議。”
