This outcome does not reflect a deliberate plan, but rather a series of policy mistakes. Germany did not seek to occupy a dominant position in Europe, and it is reluctant to accept the obligations and liabilities that such a position entails.
导致如此结果的并不是深思熟虑的计划，而是一系列的政策失误。德国并不想在欧洲占据主导地位，也不愿承担由上述地位所带来的责任和义务。我们可以将这称为欧盟的悲剧。
