"救助不能取代世界上较弱经济体必要的经济改革"
— Angela Merkel
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, when a country's economy is in trouble, other countries or big organizations might give it money to help out temporarily. But just giving money isn’t enough if the country doesn't fix the deeper problems that caused the trouble in the first place. For example, imagine if you keep giving a friend money every time they spend too much and run out, but you never help them learn to save or manage their money better. They will keep having the same problem over and over, and your money won't really help in the long run. In the same way, weaker economies need to make important changes to how they manage their money and resources so they can become stronger and more stable. These changes might be hard and require difficult decisions, but they are necessary for long-term improvement. Simply providing a bailout, or a quick fix, might help for a short time but it won't solve the underlying issues. Applying this to real life, if you're struggling with money, borrowing from friends or family might help you get by immediately, but learning to budget, spending wisely, and saving can help you avoid getting into trouble again. This advice helps ensure that you can build a stronger financial foundation and not just rely on others to bail you out every time you have a problem.
