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 .
