Such an outcome is unlikely, but only because Europe’s language problem is well on its way to solving itself. Throughout the EU, as in much of the world, from the Indian subcontinent to large parts of Africa, English increasingly functions as the language of international communication.
这样的结果不太会出现，但这只是因为欧洲的语言问题正在自我解决的过程中。在整个欧洲，就像从印度次大陆到非洲大部分地区的世界许多地方，英语正日渐成为国际交流的功能性语言。
