Then there are those who believe that EU enlargement has prevented greater “deepening,” and who, with scant regard for the past or the future, argue that pursuing the latter requires abandoning the former. But who can reasonably claim to know what shape the EU will need to take to meet the challenges of the next 50 or 100 years?
还有那些认为欧盟的扩大阻止了进一步的“深化”的人以及那些对过去或未来都很少关心、辩解说寻求未来就必须抛弃过去的人。但是谁可以有理由地主张说造就欧盟的那些元素需要被用来迎接未来50年或100年的挑战呢？
