对法国当前“疲弱症”的看法

Perceptions on the French “Sluggish Syndrome”

当前,法国正陷入经济与安全的双重困境,似患上了某种"疲弱症",屡遭外界质疑。执政的社会党政府虽采取系列应对举措,并起到一定积极作用,但改革推进十分艰难,效果不彰。未来法国不大可能陷入严重衰退,但囿于自身结构性桎梏,难有根本性改观。

France is currently trapped in a dual predicament that involves both economic and security fields. It seems to have suffered a 'sluggish syndrome'and yet found no way out,with its power frequently questioned. Even though the Socialist government has taken a series of measures and has indeed achieved some positive results,it has had little success in pushing ahead with reform programs. Looking forward,France is unlikely to fall into a severe recession. However,due to the structural confinements,fundamental changes are also unlikely to take place. It is probable that France might have to suffer from the 'sluggish syndrome'for quite a long time.
