在国家政府的狭隘观念阻碍欧盟采取联合行动的情况下，金融市场利用共产主义者曾经提出的“香肠战术”对欧盟成员国各个击破，并籍此削弱欧盟的势力并不是什么怪事。
It should come as no surprise that, with national governments’ parochialism impeding joint EU action, financial markets are using what the communists used to call “salami tactics” to slice away at the Union by attacking its member countries one by one.
