As a result, English will not so easily marginalize European languages, even after a large majority of the population has learned it. But English and national languages can co-exist only if the state protects the indigenous language and citizens do not allow English to take over all prestigious domains.
其结果是，即便在欧盟大多数人口都学习了英语的情况下，英语也不会轻易地使欧洲的其他语言边缘化。但只有在各国都保护其母语并且公民们不让英语占领所有重要领域的前提下，英语和其他国家的语言才能够共存。
