Greece's financialcrisis flared up again Tuesday as doubts about a rescue plan rattled the euro and sent the country's bonds tumbling to their lowest levels since the problems began.

当地时间周二，希腊金融危机重起。因对一项救助方案有质疑，欧元汇率震荡，而希腊债券跌至问题发生以来的最低水平。

The selloff in the Greek bond market drove interest rates on Greek debt higher, putting more pressure on the embattled nation as it seeks to borrow billions of dollars this year.

希腊债券市场上的抛售进一步推高希腊债券利率，给陷入困境的希腊更添压力，因该国今年计划发债借款达数10亿美元。

It also intensifies pressure on other European Union nations to be more explicit about terms for any bailout of Greece should it be unable to find buyers for its bonds. The other 15 countries that use the euro have pledged to help, but the bloc remains divided over just where the threshold for aid lies.

这也增加了其它欧盟(European Union)成员国的压力，如果希腊无法找到债券买主的话，则欧盟成员国需更明确对希腊紧急救助的条款。使用欧元的其余15个成员国已承诺对希腊提供支持，但对从何处入手开始救助却存在分歧。

The selloff on Tuesday took the yield on 10-year Greek debt to 7.1%.

周二市场的抛售行为使得10年期希腊债收益率升至7.1%。

The renewed focus on Greece's woes also spilled into the currency markets. The euro sank to $1.3360 from $1.3480 before recovering somewhat during New York trading.

希腊问题重受关注也波及到货币市场。纽约市场欧元兑美元由1.3480降至1.3360，而后略有回升。

The jitters were sparked by a news report suggesting Greece wants to change the terms of its bailout deal because it was concerned that the IMF would extract harsh austerity measures in exchange for assistance.

Mr. Papaconstantinou denied the report.

'There was never any action from our country to change the terms,' he said in a statement.

市场再度紧张是由一篇报道引发的。这篇报道暗示，希腊想更改对其进行紧急救助的条件，因其担心国际货币基金组织会提出极其严格的紧缩措施作为对希腊进行援助的条件。

希腊财政部长Papaconstantinou否认了该篇报道的内容。

他在一则声明中称，希腊从未采取变更救助条款的任何举动。

Its total debt is around 300 billion euros -- at 113% of its gross domestic product, well above the euro zone's self-imposed 60% ceiling. Interest alone on that debt will run 13 billion euros this year.

希腊总债务约达3000亿欧元，是其国内生产总值(gross domestic product)的113%，该比例远高于欧元区自愿接受的60%的上线。而这笔债务今年产生的利息就将高达130亿欧元。

A big problem for Greece is that investors who bought its debt in recent months are sitting on losses. As a result, Greece's attempt to go outside its traditional European investor base and raise money in Asia and the U.S. is being viewed cynically.

希腊面临的一个大问题是近几个月来购买希腊债券的投资者正遭受损失。因而，希腊试图突破传统上以欧洲投资者为基础而在亚洲及美国市场筹钱的打算不被看好。
