||1:Rising German wages would represent the “natural Hume mechanism at work, but with euros instead of gold,” says Michael Burda, an economist at Berlin’s Humboldt University.||2:By this he means the process first described by David Hume in the 18th century, under which countries on the gold standard adjusted to imbalances not by letting currencies appreciate or depreciate but through rising or falling prices and wages.||3:In effect, Mr Burda says, the euro zone has imposed a gold standard on its 18 members.||4:Prices and wages are falling in several crisis countries.||5:Germany could help by letting its wages rise—if it is willing to accommodate this.If not, there is a serious risk that deflation could take hold across the euro zone as a whole.

||1:柏林洪堡大学的经济学者迈克尔·布达说德国提高薪金水平代表“休谟自然体制运转的，是欧元不是黄金”。||2:他的意思是，在休谟体制—由大卫·休谟在18世纪首次提出—下运转的金本位国家调整经济失衡应该通过提高物价和薪酬，而不是货币的升值或贬值。||3:布达先生也表示，欧元区正在向它的18个成员国强加金本体制。||4:物价和薪酬在一些高危国家有所下降。||5:德国可以通过提高薪酬来帮助他们—如果他们愿意接受这个提案；否则，通货紧缩带来的一系列危机将笼罩整个欧元区。

||1:IT WAS almost exactly five years ago that the euro crisis erupted, starting in Greece.||2:Investors who had complacently let all euro-zone countries borrow at uniformly low levels abruptly woke up to the riskiness of an incompetent government borrowing money in a currency which it could not depreciate .||3:There is thus a dismal symmetry in seeing the euro crisis flare up again in the place where it began.

||1:The question then is how much of that amount a prefunded scheme would have to set aside.||2:Economists at Citigroup reckon that a fund ought to start with a baseline of 2% of insured deposits, and then top up that amount with an additional premium to reflect the risk that peripheral countries may leave the euro and that their currencies would then depreciate .||3:Assuming a less-than-10% chance of all the peripheral countries leaving, and that when they did their currencies would fall by 30%, a prefunded scheme would need 154 billion Euro-198 billion.||4:Such a fund should ordinarily be financed by a small insurance premium on deposits, but since the money is needed to restore confidence now, it would have to be backed by the ESM.

||1:问题在于这项预先拨款计划需要拨出多少资金。||2: 花旗银行经济学家认为这笔资金必须以承保存款总额的2%为下限, 再在此基础上加上一个风险溢价, 用以反映边缘国家可能退出欧元区及其货币随之贬值的风险。||3:假定所有边缘国家都退出欧元区的可能性低于10%, 且他们一旦退出, 他们的货币会贬值30%, 那么这项预先拨款计划将需要1540-1980亿资金。||4: 这样一笔资金通常是由小型存款保险费来支付, 但现在正需要钱用来重塑储户信心, 导致这笔资金只能由ESM来提供。
