To see Mr. Rangan’s point, consider the euro itself. It is Europe’s money, but is there as yet a single market in money? A quick look at the banking system or at the broader financial-services industry suggests that this remains a distant goal. The euro has prompted some notable achievements, but there have also been glaring failures, and plenty of gaps remain.

The main idea of the paragraph

Besides the impossibility of comparing prices there is another fact that there are big differences in the banking systems between the member nations, which also prevents the Euro from playing its role.

除了价格无法进行比较之外，还需注意另一个事实，成员国银行体系之间还存在重大差异，这也影响欧元发挥其作用。

词语解释
