希腊激进左翼联盟的说辞依旧更适合一场大学研讨会，而非一项严肃的政府计划。

以此，希腊激进左翼联盟将使希腊回到过去失败了的裙带主义，并鼓舞各地反紧缩的政党。

希腊激进左翼联盟的掌权凸显了当前现实，尽管围绕希腊的辩论都是高度的技术官僚语言，但它本质上完全是政治性的。

Syriza 's ascent to power highlights the reality that although the debate about Greece is couched in highly technocratic language , it is in essence thoroughly political .

希腊激进左翼联盟应该能有更大的作为，因为它尚未与那些将传统政党捆绑在一起的富人利益集团结下深厚的关系。
