A journalist recently expressed the view that France’s special role in Europe was due to its “centrality,” meaning that the French are, in equal measure, both open to the world and attached to their nation. They also participate successfully in a market economy while seeking to preserve an egalitarian social model.
真正的问题更多在于法国的公信力和它继续作为欧洲驱动力的能力。一位记者最近表达观点认为法国在欧洲的特殊作用是源于其“中心性”，即法国人同等地对世界开放而又执著于本国。他们成功地参与了市场经济，同时又试图保持一种平等主义的社会模式。
