Sharp fiscal consolidation has trimmed the budget deficit from 11% of GDP in 2009 to 7% this year.

通过大力财政整顿已将预算赤字由2011年GDP的11%降会了今年的7%。

It is too austere, too insistent on fiscal consolidation even in recession, too prone to put the burden of adjustment on deficit countries, too dominated by lawyers, not economists.

它太过于紧缩，甚至在衰退时期仍太过于坚持财政整顿，太过于倾向将调整的重担让赤字国家去承受，太过于听从法律人士而非经济学家。
