问题     The emergence of the European Union has been one of the defining events of the twentieth century. It has changed the political, economic, and social landscapes of Western European, changed the balance of power in the world by helping Europe reassert themselves on the world stage, and helped to bring the longest uninterrupted spell of peace in Europe recorded history. Until the beginning of the twentieth century, Europe was a continent of competing powers that repeatedly fought with each other on their own soil and took their mutual hostilities to other continents in their competition to build colonial empires. The tragic costs of nationalism were finally confirmed by two world wars, fought largely on Europe and leaving the Europe powers devastated and drained. If Europe had not learned of the barbarism and futility of war in the trenches of northern France and Belgium in 1914—1918, the horrors of the period 1939~1945 finally brought home the need to cooperate and to build the kind of society that would eliminate the seeds of conflict.

答案 欧盟的出现是20世纪起决定性作用的大事之一,欧洲重申其在世界舞台上的地位和作用,改变了西欧的政治、经济和社会全貌,改变了世界各地的力量均势,有助于带来欧洲有记载的历史上最为漫长的、持久的和平。直到20世纪初,欧洲仍是列强纷争,他们不仅在自己国土上与人再三争斗,而且在他们展开的建立殖民帝国的竞争中,将相互敌视带到其他各洲。主要发生在欧洲领土的两次世界大战使欧洲列强饱受战争的蹂躏和耗竭,最终证实了民族主义的悲惨代价。欧洲如果不能从1914~1918年发生在法国北部和比利时战壕中的一切认识到战争的野蛮和无益,那么,1939~1945年令人惊骇的恐怖战争清楚地说明我们最终需要合作,需要一个根除冲突种子的社会。
