FRANKFURT – For many European leaders, the eurozone crisis demonstrates the need for “more Europe,” the final aim being to create a full-fledged political union. Given the continent’s history of war and ideological division, and today’s challenges posed by globalization, a peaceful, prosperous, and united Europe that wields influence abroad is surely a desirable goal.
法兰克福—对许多欧洲领导人来说，欧元区危机说明了需要“更欧洲”，最终创造出完整的政治联盟。欧洲大陆的历史充满着战争和意识形态分歧，如今又经受着全球化的挑战，因此和平、繁荣、统一、对外影响力四射欧洲显然是值得追求的目标。但关于如何实现这一目标，仍存在大量分歧。
