The EU’s economic output and population are larger than that of the US, so the fate of the 27 EU countries is everyone’s business, from New York to New Delhi, São Paulo to Shanghai. Formed originally as a free-trade area, the eurozone comprises 17 of the countries.
欧盟的经济产出和人口数量都要高于美国，因此其17个成员国的命运与我们所有人息息相关，不管你身处纽约还是新德里，圣保罗还是上海。由自由贸易区演变而成的欧元区拥有17个成员国。将17个经济、文化和制度都大相径庭的国家捆绑在一起是一项伟业，需要面临重重危险。
