Since the EU is neither a nation-state nor a democracy, there is no “European people” to see the EU through hard times. Rich Germans and Dutch do not want to pay for the economic mess in which the Greeks, Portuguese, or Spanish now find themselves.
由于欧盟既不是独立的国家又不是民主国家，在艰难时期，没有“欧洲人”能够理解欧盟。富裕的德国人和荷兰人不想为希腊人、葡萄牙人和西班牙人当前深陷的经济困境买单。
