Just how much more is a question with ramifications well beyond those empty tracts of iberia .

只是加码多少才能处理好超过伊比利亚半岛的大片空地是一个问题。

When the greek debt crisis threatened to engulf iberia in may , spain went in for the kill , slashing spending and freezing pensions .

当五月希腊债务危机席卷伊比利亚半岛之时，西班牙开始行动：他们大幅削减开支并且冻结养老金计划。

A world cup cannot make the game much more popular in england or iberia than it already is ; neither do these old powers need a tournament to leave a legacy of new stadiums .

一届世界杯不可能给足球极为普及的英格兰或伊比利亚半岛带来更长足的进步；这些拥有悠久足球传统的国家不需要一届杯赛带给他们新球场作为历史财富。

But as a broken ireland seeks help and a shaky portugal puts iberia in the spotlight ( not least because spanish banks are heavily exposed to portugal ) , there are understandable fears that spain will catch the bug next .

但是正当破产的爱尔兰正在寻求帮助，同时摇摇欲坠的葡萄牙也将伊比利亚半岛置于聚光灯之下时（尤其是因为西班牙的银行对葡萄牙的敞口过大），对于西班牙将成为下一个中招的担心也是可以理解的。
