特里谢：欧洲需要团结 ‘There are more reasons now for Europe to unite’ 英国《金融时报》 莱昂内尔?巴贝尔 , 拉尔夫?阿特金斯 伦敦报道 ? For 30 years, whenever economic crises hit the world, Jean-Claude Trichet has been at the centre of the action. As his career draws to a close – his eight-year term as European Central Bank president ends in three weeks – the former French finance official and Banque de France governor is in the midst of his biggest crisis yet. 30年来，无论全球何时爆发经济危机，让-克洛德?特里谢(Jean-Claude Trichet)都是负责应对行动的关键人物之一。在其职业生涯走向终点之际（他担任欧洲央行(ECB)行长的8年任期将在3周后画上句号），这位法国前财政官员、法国央行(Banque de France)前行长正在面对他遭遇过的最严重的危机。 “It is undoubtedly a historical event of the first magnitude, the worst financial crisis since the second world war,” he exclaims. “It could have produced a Great Depression had appropriate decisions not been taken at the appropriate time.” 特里谢大声说道：“毫无疑问，这是一个极其重要的历史性事件，是自二战以来最严重的金融危机。如果我们不是在恰当的时间做出了恰当的决定，它可能已把世界带入大萧条。” At its epicentre is the 17-nation eurozone.

All that I know makes me think that no leader, no individual and no country will take
