问题     LONDON—The debt crisis in Europe escalated sharply Friday as investors dumped Spanish and Portuguese bonds in panicked selling, substantially heightening the prospect that one or both countries may need to join troubled Ireland and Greece in soliciting international bailouts.
    The draining confidence in Western Europe’s weakest economies threatened to upend bond markets, destabilize the euro and drag out the global economic recovery if it is not quickly contained. It also underscored the mounting problems facing countries that during the past decade have both over-borrowed and overspent, and are now in danger of losing investor faith in their ability to make good on their massive piles of debt.
    The perceived risk of debt defaults in Portugal and Spain drove their borrowing costs to near record highs Friday, with the interest rate demanded on Portuguese bonds at a point where it could effectively cut the Lisbon government off from raising fresh cash to run the country.

选项

答案 伦敦——欧洲债务危机在周五急剧恶化,投资者将西班牙和葡萄牙债券在恐慌中抛售,这实质上加大了这两个国家或者其中一个国家像在困境中的爱尔兰和希腊那样寻求国际救助金的可能性。 西欧最弱经济体的信心下滑可能冲击债券市场,如果不能迅速遏制这一现象,将破坏欧元区的稳定并延缓全球经济复苏。这一现象还强调了近十年来国家面临的越来越多的问题,这些问题在过去十年中被过度借贷和超额利用,现在面临投资者丧失信心的风险,他们不确定是否有能力解决如此大的债务危机。 葡萄牙和西班牙债务违约的风险,使得他们的借款费用(成本)接近星期五的最高纪录,随着葡萄牙债券的需求达到了这样一个点(形势),它可以有效地使里斯本政府免于通过筹集新鲜资本来维持国家运转。
