One,perilously close to the denouement, is aboutGreece’suncertain place in the family of Europeannations; the other, still unfolding butwith a storylinethat foretells a calamitous final act, is about thefuture notjust of the euro but of Europeanintegration. 希腊总理亚历克西斯•齐普拉斯(AlexisTsipras)此次莫斯科之行讲述了两个悲剧故事。第一个是关于希腊 在欧洲国家大家庭中岌岌可危的地位，这个悲剧眼下正危险地走向结局;第二个悲剧不仅是关于欧元、而 且是关于整个欧洲一体化的未来，尽管这个悲剧尚在慢慢展开，但是故事脉络已经预示了一个灾难性的 结局。 Predictably enough, the Greek prime minister was feted by Vladimir Putin.The Russianpresident’s revanchist aggression in Ukraine has left his regime morevulnerable than anyonein the Kremlin would dare admit. Mr Putin badly needs toweaken the EU sanctions regime.Shared Orthodox Christianity, an air of leftistnostalgia in Athens and, above all, Greece’sdesperate isolation make it an idealtarget for Moscow’s strategy of divide and rule. 不出所料，这位希腊总理受到了弗拉基米尔•普京(VladimirPutin)的盛情款待。这位俄罗斯总统对乌克 兰展开的报复性攻击，致使其政权脆弱到了克里姆林宫所有人都不敢承认的地步。普京迫切需要削弱欧 盟的制裁当局。共同的宗教信仰——东正教(OrthodoxChristianity)，雅典空气中弥漫的左翼怀旧主义 ，以及最重要的——希腊目前绝望的孤立状态，使希腊成了莫斯科分治之策的理想目标。 It is harder to see what Mr Tsipras gains beyond a few warm words to cheerhis supporters athome. The promise of a gas pipeline years hence? Any aid onoffer from Moscow would beminuscule relative to funds from the EU and theInternational Monetary Fund. There is nothingMr Putin could do that would makeleaving the euro any less painful. 除了收到几句温暖的问候外，很难看出齐普拉斯还能得到什么来让国内的支持者高兴起来。对数年后建 设一条天然气管道的承诺?与希腊从欧盟及国际货币基金组织(IMF)获得的资金相比，莫斯科能够提供的 任何援助都会显得微不足道。无论普京做什么，也不可能减轻希腊脱离欧元区的痛苦。 1 / 4
