Similarly, a clear division between a refugee-friendly west and a closed east would effectively end the Schengen Agreement, because the political disagreement would harden into a physical barrier blocking the free movement of people within the EU. Such a split would be as damaging to Europe’s cohesion as a divided eurozone.
类似地，对难民友好的西部和封闭的东部之间明确分裂将在事实上终结申根协定，因为政治分歧将深化为实体屏障，阻碍人们在欧盟内部的自由迁徙。这一分裂对欧洲凝聚力的伤害不亚于分裂的欧元区。
