模仿文本： First then relations between Europe's economic powerhouse Germany and the United States have seen better times. Many Germans are still reeling from revelations that America's National Security Agency spied on the German leader Angela Merkel even listening into her mobile phone calls. But any friction between the countries' leaders may have to be put to one side.

 

译文：首先，作为欧洲经济动力的德国曾经跟美国的关系比现在要好些。早前美国国家安全局被曝出监听德国总理默克尔，甚至还监听她的手机，许多德国人现在依然对此感到震惊和反感。不过国家领导人间的摩擦也许得先放一边了。
