【英音模仿秀】爱尔兰退出欧债救援计划

 模仿文本： Now perhaps it's the luck of the Irish. In a month's time the Republic of Ireland will become the first victim of Europe's debt crisis to exit its bailout programme. It's an achievement many thought might not happen for quite some time. The country suffered the indignity¹ of an international financial rescue when its economy was struck by a housing collapse². So the European Union, the International Monetary³ Fund and European Central Bank lent Dublin more than $100 billion. 

 

译文：也许这就是爱尔兰的运气了。再有一个月，爱尔兰共和国就要成为第一个摆脱欧洲援助计划的欧洲债务危机受创国家了。这项成果在如此短的时间内达成，让很多人始料未及。爱尔兰当初由于房市崩溃而被迫接受国际金融援助。都柏林方面从欧盟、国际货币基金组织以及欧洲中央银行那里拿到了1000多亿美金。
