But the emphasis on Germany, though justified, should not lead to an underestimation of France’s critical role. France not only accounts for roughly 22% of eurozone GDP and 20% of its population – behind only Germany – but also has the healthiest demography in the eurozone, whereas the German population is projected to decline over the next decade.
但强调德国尽管不无道理，却不能因此低估法国的关键作用。法国不但占有欧元区GDP的22%和人口的20%——仅次于德国——还拥有欧元区最健康的人口结构，而德国人口数量预计将在下一个十年中有所下降。
