Formulated in such terms, the European challenge seems even more formidable than the American one. Nevertheless, it is far from clear that the US will find it easier to reform its health and social security system, and thus alleviate the individual fears of its citizens, than for Europe to inspire its citizens with a sense of collective hope.
由此说来，欧洲比美国所面临的挑战更为艰巨。当然，美国也有自身的老大难问题，例如医疗社会保障系统的改革。相比于如何激发欧洲民众信心来说，如果想要减轻普通美国人的不安全感，可能要付出更大的代价。
