You have to admit that people in EU have enjoyed a better off life than before.  And as the saying goes that the shortest plank  determines the volume of the barrel. Greece is one member of EU, the life of people there is affecting others to some extent. How to solve this problem has an impact on the future of EU and even the world as a whole. Though the life is a litlle bit bitter now, I think that as long as the people have faith in the government as it try every possible means to tackle. There is hope that every member in Eu will lead a happy life.

But even if ultimate salvation is possible, Greece could fall into plenty of immediate traps. One is the mood at home, with almost daily mass protests outside parliament, interspersed with riots支持一下

The euro zone is not a federal state. Its key decisions are national.
谁也不知道这些国家是不是各怀鬼胎，希腊把他们都处于两难的境地。经济上的统一是否应该以政治上的统一为前提？

If EU is quite successful, maybe we can expect a United Asia. It's not an easy task, when concerning many nationlities with different backgrounds.
I don't quite understand what does it mean to Greece if these sovereign debts are defaulted. Maybe it's also a risk warning to the United States, as it also has huge government debts.

have been urging ministers not to entertain even a modest restructuring of Greek debt, let alone a full-blown default, for fear of disastrous contagion.
这段不太懂，谁能给翻译翻译。谢谢了

力劝那些财政部长们不要有重组希腊国债的想法，更别提让它破产，因为那样会造成灾难性的金融危机。

The point of this sentence is that investors' confidence nowadays is elusive, towards the downside. The EU politicians do not want to see a "Lehman-like" event happen in their continent, which will hit Greece, Portugal, Italy, and Spain, or so called "disastrous contagion".

The bail-out for Greece may work now. But as long as "a single currency and a single interest rate on incompatible economies" doesn't change, the crisis is inevitable.
European countries are different in so many ways that United States of Europe is just a fantasy.
It seems that China will buy more european bonds. In ongoing economic globalization, China US and Europe are in the same boat.
