Xenophobia is a sign of education gone wrong - an expression of narrow-mindedness and the inability to put oneself in the position of others. So, rather than embarking on a search for a European identity, we should agree on mutual educational objectives to increase the awareness of all Europeans of the "others" who are their brethren in Europe.
确实，欧洲人只有对外来事物持开放的态度才能够成功地建立一个更为广泛的欧洲。恐外是教育失误的信号-是心胸狭隘和不能设身处地为他人着想的表现。因此，与其寻求一种欧洲同一性，还不如达成共同的教育目标以加强欧洲人对于作为其兄弟姊妹的"他人"的意识。
