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

我们得获得半打其他部门的，有欧共体、华盛顿、库姆兰大使馆。

But this does not mean that we have to bow the knee to every directive from every little bureaucratic Bonaparte in Brussels.

但这不代表我们要屈服于欧共体委员会每个小独裁官僚下达的每条示。

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它辩解。

It's my job to implement EEC regulations.

实施欧共体条例是我的工作。

Perhaps the EEC commissioner is right.

或欧共体委员是对的。

Precursor to the EU in 1973, and then Britain's voting by a large margin to remain in the EEC in 1975. These Eurosceptic feelings never completely went away.

1973年作欧盟的前身，然后在1975年英国以压倒性票数选择留在欧共体内。这些疑欧情绪从未完全消失。

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”！

Take that EEC reception last night.

就比如昨晚的欧共体招待会。

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。
