Several weeks ago, German President Joachim Gauck’s opening address to the 50th annual Munich Security Conference reflected on the Federal Republic’s evolution over those five decades, a period that gave rise to “a good Germany, the best we have ever known.” And, because Germany benefits more than most countries from the current open, value-based international order, it has, Gauck said, a greater responsibility to defend and extend that order.
几周前，德国总统高克在第50届慕尼黑安全会议上发表开幕词，回顾了德意志联邦共和国在过去五十年中的历史，这个时期崛起了“一个好德国，一个锁门所知的最好的德国”。此外，德国比其他大部分国家更多地得益于当前开放的、基于价值的国际秩序，因此高克说，德国也有更大责任捍卫和扩大这一秩序。
