Germany is the largest EU member country in terms of population and GDP; so, to some extent, it does make sense for it to take the lead. But Germany still accounts for less than one-fifth of the EU’s population, and less than one-quarter of its economy.
从人口和GDP衡量，德国是欧盟最大的成员国；因此，从某种程度上，确实应该由它担任领导。但德国的人口还不到欧盟的五分之一，经济规模也不到欧盟的四分之一。换句话说，即使是德国也无法处置当今全部欧洲难民。
