Margaret Thatcher: 'Against European Unity' (3)
Some of the founding fathers of the Community thought that the United States of America might be its model.But the whole history of America is quite different from Europe.People went there to get away from the intolerance and constraints of life in Europe.They sought liberty and opportunity; and their strong sense of purpose has, over two centuries, helped create a new unity and pride in being American - just as our pride lies in being British or Belgian or Dutch or German.I am the first to say that on many great issues the countries of Europe should try to speak with a single voice.I want to see us work more closely on the things we can do better together than alone.Europe is stronger when we do so, whether it be in trade, in defence, or in our relations with the rest of the world.But working more closely together does not require power to be centralized in Brussels or decisions to be taken by an appointed bureaucracy.Indeed,it is ironic that just when those countries such as the Soviet Union, which have tried to run everything from the center, are learning that success depends on dispersing power and decisions away from the center, some in the Community seem to want to move in the opposite direction.We have not successfully rolled back the frontiers of the State in Britain only to see them reimposed at a European level, with a European super-State exercising anew dominance from Brussels.Certainly we want to see Europe more united and with a greater sense of common purpose.But it must be in a way which preserves the different traditions, parliamentary powers and sense of national pride in one's own country; for these have been the source of Europe's vitality through the centuries.

翻译
玛格丽特·撒切尔:“反对欧洲统一”(3)


共同体的一些缔造者认为，美利坚合众国可能是它的典范。
但是，美国的整个历史与欧洲的历史大不相同。
人们去那里是为了摆脱欧洲生活的不宽容和限制。
他们寻求自由和机会;两个多世纪以来，他们强烈的使命感帮助创造了作为美国人的一种新的团结和自豪感——就像我们作为英国人、比利时人、荷兰人或德国人的自豪感一样。
我首先指出，在许多重大问题上，欧洲各国应该努力用一个声音说话。
我希望看到我们在合作比单独做得更好的事情上更紧密地合作。
当我们这样做的时候，欧洲会变得更强大，无论是在贸易、国防，还是在我们与世界其他国家的关系上。
但是，更紧密地合作并不需要权力集中在布鲁塞尔，也不需要由指定的官僚机构做出决定。
的确，具有讽刺意味的是，就在苏联等试图从中央管理一切的国家认识到成功取决于将权力和决策分散到远离中心的地方时，共同体中的一些国家似乎想要走向相反的方向。
我们没有成功地缩小英国的国家边界，只是看到它们在欧洲一级重新被强加，一个欧洲超级国家从布鲁塞尔行使新的统治。
当然，我们希望看到欧洲更加团结，有更强烈的共同目标感。
但必须保留不同的传统，议会权力和国家自豪感;因为它们是几个世纪以来欧洲活力的源泉。

故事六:理查把他美丽的女儿嫁给可怜老人的故事

从前有一个富有的商人，他有一个女儿。
当她15岁时，他想让她嫁给一个可怜的老头。
老人不同意，说:“我既不适合她，也不适合你，我又穷又老。告诉我你为什么选择我，如果我觉得合理，我会同意娶你的女儿。”
于是，商人讲述了他的故事。
他年轻时在中国过得很富裕。
一天晚上，他做了一个梦，他看到了一个非常丑陋的女人，他要娶她。
他从这个对他来说像噩梦一样的梦中醒来。
他对自己说:“我永远不会结婚，除非这个不漂亮的女人真的是我的命运。”
在做了这个梦多年之后，他一边旅行一边卖他的商品。
他最终在一个城市定居下来，在那里建立了自己的生活，结交了朋友。
一天，他在城市里探险，发现了一所优雅的房子。
当他凝视着房子时，他意识到有一位美丽的女人站在窗前。
他发现房子是公证人的。
他把他的朋友们叫来，告诉他们他需要他们做一些与贸易有关的事情，他们都会在公证员的房子里见面。
当商人见到公证人时，他对他说:“我是来求婚者的，我想娶你的女儿。”
公证人回答说:“我没有适合你的女儿。”
商人坚持己见，直到公证人最终同意了四千的婚姻和解金。
婚礼宴会结束后，商人看到了他的新娘，但她并不是他在公证员家窗户里看到的那个美丽的女人。
他认为他爱的女人是在和他开玩笑。
他三天没吃没睡。
他那相貌平平的妻子问他为什么受苦。
她想帮助他。
于是，商人讲述了他真正想娶的女人的故事，以及他如何在窗里看到她。
丑妻对他说:“你不要为这事烦心，她是我的婢女。我父亲把她给了我，我将把她给你，这样你就又可以高兴了。”
美丽的女仆们准备了华丽的衣服和香水，让商人过夜。
商人的妻子对她说:“别惹他生气，让他怎么对你都行。”
这之后，商人说:“我的妻子比我还慷慨!”
他送走了女奴，与妻子同寝。
她怀孕了，生下了他们的女儿。
商人对可怜的老人说:“很多有名的富人都向我的女儿求婚。我在梦中也看到了同样的男女平衡，而你正是我女儿的合适人选。我希望你在我死前娶她，而不是死后。”
听了这个故事，老人同意娶商人的女儿，并得到了她的爱。
