What amazes our neighbors and partners – and increasingly causes distrust – is that ever since the beginning of the global meltdown last September, the German government has focused almost exclusively on national crisis management, rebuffing any and all attempts at a European approach. Add to this the palpable tensions in Franco-German relations, the blocking of a common EU gas market, close strategic cooperation with Vladimir Putin’s Russia, etc., and the worries about Germany multiply.
令所有的邻国及伙伴诧异（也日益导致他们的不信任）的，是自从全球经济危机在去年12月发生以来，德国政府几乎仅仅专注于国内危机管理，并断然拒绝任何欧洲层面上的举措。在法德关系明显紧张之外，又加上了德国对欧盟天然气共同市场的抵制和与普京领导下的俄罗斯建立紧密的战略合作关系……如此种种另外界对德国的担心与日俱增。
