Concerns about the European debt crisis and high unemployment are sapping the Christmas holiday spirit in some of Europe's capitals.

    Along the Gran Via in Madrid, the holiday lights are up but do little to brighten the mood - shoppers and pedestrians are getting used to disappointment.
    在西班牙首都马德里,沿着格兰维亚大道,尽管节庆彩灯已经亮起,却点燃不了热购物者和路人的热情。他们已经习惯了失落的心情。
    One woman complained that the lights were very, very poor this year and will do little to cheer up those with little or nothing.
    一名妇女说,今年的彩灯看来非常黯淡,对于一无所有或贫乏中的人来说,起不了欢欣鼓舞的作用。
    Even as night fell, many of the lights displays remained dark. Those that did come on, got a smattering of applause.
    即使夜幕低垂时分,有些灯泡并没有点亮。有些灯亮起之际,也只获得希希落落的掌声回应。
Cities like Madrid are cutting back on holiday decorations, part of austerity measures during a growing fiscal crunch that has dampened spirits across the continent.
   一些像马德里这样的城市都减少了节庆的装璜。部分原因是出于节约措施。日渐严重的财政的紧缩,伤害了整个欧洲大陆的喜庆氛围。

    The impact on crucial holiday sales remains to be seen.
