正是在上述想法的基础上我与若干欧洲同仁携手 — — 我们每个人都是以个人名义 — — 最近联合撰写了一份为未来10到20年的欧洲提出理念的论文：那就是建设新型大陆伙伴关系，为继续与英国开展经济、外交及安全合作奠定新的基础。
It is with these ideas in mind that I, together with several European colleagues – all of us acting in an individual capacity – recently co-authored a paper proposing a concept for Europe in 10-20 years: a continental partnership that would create a new basis for continued economic, foreign policy, and security cooperation with the UK.
