撒切尔夫人英国国会辩论经典片段（双语）

Dr. David Owen: Is it not perfectly clear that what was being attempted at Rome was a bounce and a bounce that led only one way, and that was to a single federal united states of Europe? And is it not vital that in this House, across party lines, it is possible for a prime minister to go and make it clear, if necessary, that Britain is prepared to stand alone? We don's relish it, but that if necessary, if we are faced by the imposition, by treaty of an obligation to a single currency and a situation which would prevent enlargement to Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia, Britain would be entitled and right to use the veto?

Dr. David Owen：我们现在还不是很清楚，罗马经济是否在反弹，经济反弹又会给这个联邦制的欧洲合众国造成怎样的影响？并不是至关重要的，在这政府里，跨越党派界线，就有可能靠一个首相去弄清楚，如果有必要，英国正在准备孤军奋战？我们不喜欢它，但是，如果有必要，如果我们面临的实施，通过条约的义务统一的货币和情况来防止欧盟东扩至波兰、匈牙利和捷克斯洛伐克，英国将拥有和有权使用否决权吗？

Mr. Ron Leighton: There is no majority in the House for EMU, but is the Prime Minister aware that I attended a conference in Italy last year at which an Italian Minister spoke to me about EMU? I said, "What if Mrs. Thatcher opposes it?" And ungallantly, he laughed loud and he said, "We have met Mrs. Thatcher many times - she squawks and makes a noise at the beginning but always comes round and gives way in the end." Now what assurances and guarantees can seek of this House today that she will not give way on this issue, as she did give way on the Madrid condition about British inflation before joining the ERM?
