For example, Germany fares better than other European countries in its resistance to populism, not only because its economy is strong and its history constitutes a form of vaccination. Germans can also thank the mettle and competence of their political leaders, including Chancellor Angela Merkel and her predecessor, Gerhard Schröder.
比如，德国比其他欧洲国家更好地阻止了民粹主义，这不仅是因为德国经济坚挺，德国历史也构成了抵抗力。德国人还应该感谢其政治领袖（包括现任总理默克尔和她的前任施罗德）的勇气和能力。
