The dilemma is neatly summed-up by the two clear candidates for the top job as “Mr. Europe.” On the one hand, there’s the safe pair of hands personified by Jean-Claude Juncker, the veteran prime minister of tiny Luxembourg, who knows the ins and outs of the EU’s political machinery and chairs the euro zone’s ministerial set-up.
最高职务“欧洲先生”现在有两个明显的侯选人，这就清楚地体现了这一矛盾。在一方面，小国卢森堡老牌首相容克尔是一个稳妥的侯选人。他对欧盟的政治机器了如指掌，而且主持欧元区的部长会议。他不会引发巨变，但也不会造成新闻。
