||1: Banca Cívica listed in the first place to meet capital targets set by the then Spanish government. ||2: Now it is one of the first casualties of rules set by the new government to get banks to set aside provisions and capital worth 50 billion Euro(66 billion Dollar) to cover losses on dud property loans. ||3: Faced with a capital and provisioning shortfall of 2 billion Euro, Banca Cívica accepted an all-share deal that valued it at a third of its book value. ||4: The combined entity will become Spain’s largest bank by assets, with around 15% of the retail market.

||1: 前任西班牙政府制定的资本充足率目标对银行业影响甚广，首当其冲的便是Banca Cívica银行。 ||2:新届政府成立后，又要求银行业对不良房地产贷款计提价值500亿欧元（660亿美元）资本的坏账准备金。||3: 由于资本不足，Banca Cívica银行的坏账准备金面临着20亿欧元的缺口，只得接受换股收购，以账面价值三分之一的价格将自己出售。 ||4:合并后的企业实体以资产来计将成为西班牙最大的银行，占据大约15%的零售市场

||1:Looming over all of this are the new capital rules.||2:The unspoken goal of almost all firms is quickly to offload the remaining dodgy assets on their balance-sheets, thus releasing capital, to offset the higher overall capital standards being imposed on them.||3:But the rate of natural shrinkage of their bad banks is low and the remaining dud assets are hard to sell at reasonable prices They’re called toxic for a reason.

||1:笼罩在这一切之上的是新的资本规则。||2:虽并未明示，但几乎所有公司的目标都是迅速清除资产负债表上的残留的不良资产，从而释放资金，以抵消加诸于他们的更高的总资本标准所带来的影响。||3:但这些公司的坏账银行自然缩减率很低，且残留的无用资产很难以合理价格出售。这些资产被戏称是有毒的，并非空穴来风。

||1:Some investors reckon 60 billion-80 billion Euro is required to restore confidence.||2:The IMF is coy about giving a number, but it too thinks more capital is needed, perhaps in asset-management companies set up to look after dud loans.||3:But attracting private capital will be tough.||4:That would pass the problem to the Spanish government, whose finances are under scrutiny, or to Europe’s bail-out funds, whose firepower is more limited than advertised.

||1:有些投资者认为重塑信心需要600-800亿英镑。||2:对此谨慎的国际货币基金组织未给出具体数字，但它也认为需要更多的资金，也许正是那些用来监管不良贷款的资产管理公司需要更多的资金。||3:但是吸引私人资本将会很难。||4:这将会把问题转嫁给已接受财政审查的西班牙政府，或是火力比宣传的更为有限的欧洲纾困基金。
