The authorities have been too pusillanimous in merely condemning the violence .

当局对暴行只是进行了谴责，真是太胆小怕事了。

Moderation , cooperation , compromise , and bipartisanship are lame reflections of a pusillanimous past and of a “ pathetic and exhausted leadership ” incapable of winning elections .

中庸、合作、妥协以及两党关系则是昔日优柔寡断和无法赢得大选的“悲凉无望的领导班子”的残缺写照。

It is time the Fund \'s top brass said so publicly and , by refusing to lend more without a deal on debt , pushed Europe \'s pusillanimous politicians into doing the right thing .

是让国际货币基金组织高层对此公开表示，并且通过拒绝借更多钱给尚未处理债务问题的国家，来促使欧洲那些谨小慎微的政治家做正确的事情了的时候。
