Greece's finance minister says his country's financial situation is "terribly urgent" and the crisis could come to a head in a couple of weeks.

　　希腊财政部长表示，国家财政状况“万分紧急”，危机可能在2周后发生。

　　Yanis Varoufakis gave the warning after eurozone finance ministers met in Brussels to discuss the final €7.2bn tranche of Greece's €240bn EU/IMF bailout.

　　欧盟财长们在布鲁塞尔举行会议，就欧盟和国际货币基金组织为希腊提供的2400亿欧元紧急援助中的最后一笔(72亿欧元)展开讨论。会后，希腊财长雅尼斯·瓦鲁法克斯给出以上警告。

　　Ministers said Greece had made "progress" but more work was needed.

　　"The liquidity issue is a terribly urgent issue. It's common knowledge, let's not beat around the bush," Mr Varoufakis told reporters in Brussels.

　　The crisis has raised the prospect that Greece might default on its debts and leave the euro.

　　这一危机增加了希腊无法按时偿还债务并离开欧元区的可能性。

　　The eurozone is insisting on a rigorous regime of reforms, including cuts to pensions, in return for the bailout, but Greece's anti-austerity Syriza-led government is resisting the tough terms.

　　欧元区坚持要进行严格的重组，其中包括作为对紧急援助的回报，削减退休金。但由激进左翼联盟领导的希腊政府反对财政紧缩和这些严格的条款。

　　In a statement, the eurozone finance ministers said they "welcomed the progress that has been achieved so far" in the negotiations, but added: "We acknowledged that more time and effort are needed to bridge the gaps on the remaining open issues."

　　欧盟区的财长们在一项声明中指出，他们“对目前谈判中取得的进展表示欢迎”，但同时表示“我们认为需要更多的时间和努力来克服余下的问题。”

　　Eurogroup chairman Jeroen Dijsselbloem said there had to be a full deal on the bailout before Greece received any further payments.

　　欧洲集团主席戴塞尔布卢姆指出，在关于紧急援助的条款完全达成之前，希腊不会收到任何援款。

　　"There are time constraints and liquidity constraints and hopefully we will reach an agreement before time runs out and before money runs out," he said.

　　他说：“时间和流动性都非常紧迫，希望我们能在时间和金钱耗尽之前达成协议。”
