希腊德拉克马

希腊德拉克马、爱尔兰镑、葡萄牙埃斯库多、西班牙比塞塔、意大利里拉，可能还有法国法郎，相对德国马克都已经贬值。

The Greek drachma , the Irish punt , the Portuguese Escudo , the Spanish peseta , the Italian lira and , maybe , the French franc would have devalued against the Deutschmark .

当初欧洲各国采用单一货币欧元时，一纸相对简单的国内法律按照规定汇率把以希腊德拉克马、西班牙比塞塔、芬兰马克和德国马克计价的合约转换为了以欧元计价的合约。

When countries joined the single currency , a relatively simple piece of domestic legislation converted contracts in drachmas , pesetas , markkas and Deutschmarks into contracts in euros at a prescribed exchange rate .

但当各国退出单一货币时，就不能简单地逆转这一过程了，而是必须指明，哪些合约将按希腊德拉克马履行，哪些依然采用欧元，或者转换成德国马克。

But you cannot simply reverse that process when countries leave the single currency . You have to prescribe which contracts are now to be fulfilled in drachmas and which remain in euros or converted into Deutschmarks .

斯莫尔伍德对实行高利率的过渡时期进行了讨论，此举旨在鼓励保持希腊储蓄，作为最后贷款者的希腊央行的德拉克马（希腊本币）信贷将加强这点。

Mr Smallwood discusses an interim period of high interest rates to encourage Greek deposits to stay put , reinforced by lender-of-last-resort drachma credits from the Greek central bank .
