Perhaps the EEC commissioner is right.

或许欧共体委员是对的。

Now, the problem is that the EEC is becoming very unpopular over here.

问题就是欧共体在这边越来越不受欢迎了。

I suppose the EEC equivalent would be, " Beware of Greeks bearing an olive oil surplus" !

我想如果是在欧共体，就会说“小心带过剩橄榄油来的希腊人”！

No, we had to get agreement from half a dozen other departments, from the EEC, from Washington, from the Kumrani Embassy.

我们还得获得半打其他部门的许可，还有欧共体、华盛顿、库姆兰大使馆。

And the problem is, that the Minister feels there would be more votes...that he would be better expressing the views of the British people by joining the attack on the EEC than by leaping to its defence.

问题就在于大臣认为更能赢得选票...更能表达英国人民看法的举措是加入对欧共体的攻击而不是急着为它辩解。
