The first lesson of European unity is that times of crisis must draw the continent closer together, not divide it through protectionism, competitive devaluations, and expulsions of immigrants. Similarly, the euro must not be allowed to become an Iron Curtain that consigns non-members to a high-risk zone where investors dare not venture.
欧洲团结的首要一课是欧洲大陆必须在危机时期密切合作，而不是被保护主义、竞相贬值和驱逐移民搞得四分五裂。同样，不能允许欧元成为一块铁幕，致使没有加入欧元体系的国家成为投资者不敢涉足的高风险地区。
