Greece has approved a plan to raise taxes, cut spending and sell government-owned assets. This clears the way for seventeen billion dollars in loans from the International Monetary Fund and the European Union. The loans are a share of the one-hundred-fifty-six-billion-dollar rescue deal that Greece secured last year.
希腊批准了一项增加税收、削减支出和出售政府资产的计划。这将为希腊获得国际货币基金组织和欧盟的170亿贷款扫清道路。该贷款是希腊去年促成的1560亿救援协议的一部分。
The money will help the government to operate and pay its debts until the middle of September. But the austerity plan led to a national strike on Tuesday and Wednesday, along with violent demonstrations in Athens.
这笔钱将在9月中旬前，帮助希腊政府运作以及偿付债务。但这项紧缩计划导致了周二和周三的全国性罢工，以及雅典的暴力示威。
