It needs to accept that globalization is above all an opportunity, one that must be grasped by confident, innovative, and entrepreneurial people. Germans need to understand again – as they did so well after 1945 – that their future lies in their own hands, as citizens, rather than in the power of some remote State.
其实，德国所需要的东西甚为明确。它必须接受全球化首先是一个机遇，一个必须由自信、富于创新精神和企业家精神的人来把握的机遇。德国人需要再一次明白—正如他们在1945年以后所明白的那样—未来掌握在作为公民的他们自己的，而不是在某个遥远的强国手中。
