原计划周日召开的欧盟28国领导人峰会已经取消，取而代之的是欧元区领导人的单独会面。请看本报昨日的报道：

    The European Union (EU) canceled a full 28-nation summit Sunday to decide whether Greece stays in the European single currency as a divided eurozone struggled to reach a reform-for-bailout deal.

    The summit had been billed as a last chance to stop Greece crashing out, but was scrapped as eurozone finance ministers returned to marathon talks after failing overnight to overcome distrust with Greece’s leftist government.

    报道中的scrap作为动词是“取消、放弃、报废”的意思，名词是“小片、碎屑、废铁”。例如：

    Cutting the deficit would force her to scrap some of the social promises she had made to voters.

    削减赤字将迫使她放弃对选民做出的部分承诺。
