Mr. Strauss-Kahn is charged with a sexual attack on a cleaning woman at a New York hotel last Saturday. He said in a resignation letter released Thursday by the IMF that he denies the charges "with the greatest possible firmness."
国际货币基金组织将需要寻找一位新的领导人。多米尼克·斯特劳斯-卡恩（Dominique Strauss-Kahn）已经辞去总裁职务。斯特劳斯-卡恩被指控上周六在纽约一家酒店性侵犯一位女清洁工。他在周四国际货币基金组织发布的辞职信中，态度坚决地否认了这一指控。
His fall has especially shocked Europe. The IMF is currently playing a major part in rescue loans to Greece, Ireland and Portugal. European nations have increasingly depended on the fund to help them in their recent struggles with debt.
他的落马使欧洲尤为震动。国际货币基金组织当前在希腊、爱尔兰和葡萄牙的救援贷款中发挥着重要作用。欧洲国家在解决最近的债务危机中越来越依赖于国际货币基金的帮助。
