This is where political leadership is needed. The leaders of the well established European democracies must explain to their own voters that enlargement has greatly benefited them, and that it will also be to their benefit to share the responsibilities and costs of steering the hardest-hit countries through the crisis.
现在正是需要政治领导的时候。制度稳固的欧洲民主国家的领导人，必须向他们自己的选民说明，欧盟扩大已经使他们受益匪浅，现在，分担带领遭受经济危机最严重打击的国家走出经济危机的责任和费用，也符合他们的利益。
