How would I vote in the referendum on the eurozone’s economic programme if I were Greek? The answer, alas, is that I am unsure. If I believed Greece could make a success of going it alone, I would surely vote against the programme. But I could not be certain: if Greece could use monetary sovereignty wisely, it would not be in its current state. If I voted in favour of the programme, I would not know whether it was still on offer: the eurozone says it is not, but it might be bluffing. What I would know is that, if Greece voted Yes, it might face years of retrenchment and depression. But that might still be better than post-exit chaos.
假如我是希臘人，在針對歐元區經濟計劃的公投上我會如何投票呢？唉，可惜我也不確定答案。如果我相信希臘單干會取得成功，那么我肯定會投票反對該計劃。但是我無法確定：如果希臘可以明智地運用貨幣自主權，它就不會處于如今的境地。如果我投票支持該計劃，我不知道歐元區是否仍然提供這個計劃：歐元區說現在不提供，但可能是虛張聲勢。我知道的是，如果希臘投贊成票，它也許將面臨數年緊縮和蕭條。但是這可能還是好過退出歐元區后的混亂。
