That is Mario Draghi's self-effacing judgment on the outright monetary transactions (OMT) programme, the promise made by the European Central Bank (ECB) last summer to buy the bonds of struggling euro-area governments.

这是欧洲央行行长德拉吉谦虚的评价。去年夏季，欧洲央行（ECB）许下诺言，要利用直接货币交易政策来购买欧元区经济困难国家的债券。

Yet the existing tool, outright monetary transactions (or OMT)-announced in 2012 when Mario Draghi, the ECB's former president, said he would do " whatever it takes" to preserve the euro-has become politically toxic.

然而，在2012年，欧洲央行前行长马里奥·德拉基称他将“不惜一切代价”保卫欧元时公布的现有工具，即直接货币交易(OMT)，已具有政治破坏性。
