Angela Merkel, German chancellor, declared yesterday that Europe was “in a race with the markets to turn its monetary union into a fully fledged political union, even as she warned her partners not to overburden the German economy in the eurozone crisis.

德国总理安格拉·默克尔(Angela Merkel)昨日表示，欧洲“正在和市场赛跑，以将欧洲货币联盟转变成一个全面的政治联盟。她同时警告德国的伙伴国，不要让德国在欧元区危机中承担过重的负担。

Her intervention coincided with a new surge in borrowing costs for Spain, following a downgrade by Moody’s rating agency, while Italy moved to reassure the markets by promising more cuts in spending.

她做上述表态之际，西班牙继遭评级机构穆迪(Moody's)降级之后借贷成本再度急剧攀升，而意大利则承诺进一步削减开支，试图安抚市常

Germany’s 10-year bond yields, which move inversely to price, have edged up in recent days to 1.49 per cent, partially on expectations that Berlin will eventually be forced to impair its own creditworthiness to rescue the eurozone.

德国10年期债券收益率（债券收益率与价格的波动方向相反）最近几天略微上升至1.49%，部分原因在于，市场预期德国最终将被迫损害本国的信誉度以拯救欧元区。

The yield on Spain’s 10-year bond briefly climbed above 7 per cent.
