听力原文： Now European finance ministers are expected to reprimand the Irish government today after they meet in Brussels. They've been alarmed by December's budget in the Irish Republic which cut taxes and increased government spending. The other European countries fear this will stoke up inflation and undermine the stability of the Euro, the single currency.

B．EU countries fear that Irish Republic's finance plan will cause inflation.
C．Other countries will have to cut taxes.
