把这一句，留给此刻的你

Trade helps bring us products cheaply, but there is no guarantee whatsoever to assume that it will allow us to replace the jobs that have been lost, and there is no mechanism under productivity that says that, either.

贸易为我们带来了廉价的产品，但我们不能保证它会让我们取代失去的工作岗位，生产率下也没有这样的机制。

— Tim Bishop 提姆·毕绍普

The great composer does not set to work because he is inspired, but becomes inspired because he is working. Beethoven, Wagner, Bach and Mozart settled down day after day to the job in hand with as much regularity as an accountant settles down each day to his figures. They didn't waste time waiting for inspiration.

伟大的作曲家不是因为受到启发而开始创作，而是因为工作而变得有灵感。贝多芬、瓦格纳、巴赫和莫扎特日复一日地埋头于手头的工作，就像会计师每天埋头于他的数字一样有条不紊。他们没有浪费时间等待灵感。

Ernest Newman 欧内斯特·纽曼

We need to recognise that what really matters isn't buying more and more consumer goods, but family, friends, and knowing that we are doing something worthwhile with our lives. Helping to reduce the appalling consequences of world poverty should be part of that reassessment.

我们需要认识到，真正重要的不是购买越来越多的消费品，而是家人、朋友，以及知道我们在用生命做一些有价值的事情。帮助减少世界贫困的可怕后果应该是重新评估的一部分。
