Likewise, while the European project sought to bring about the “harmony” of people living together in peace, we also must live in harmony with our environment – the scarcest of all of our resources. In this area, too, Europe has taken the lead, especially concerning global warming, showing that petty selfishness can be put aside to achieve a common good.
同样，欧洲联合目的是让人与人之间“和谐”共处，我们还要与我们的环境和谐共处。环境是我们所有资源中最为缺乏的。在这一领域，欧洲也一马当先，特别是在全球气候变暖问题上，这表明人们可以抛弃渺小的自私来实现共同的福祉。
