A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
财富
Wealth
Economists are coming to acknowledge that measures of national wealth and poverty in terms strictly of average income tell you little that is significant of the health or viability of a society.
经济学家们开始认识到，严格按照平均收入来衡量国家财富和贫困，并不能说明一个社会的健康状况或生存能力有多么重要。
There are about a dozen of these gardens, more or less extensive, according to the business or wealth of the proprietor; but they are generally smaller than the smallest of our London nurseries.
这样的花园大约有十几个，根据业主的生意或财产情况，或多或少有些广阔;但它们一般比我们伦敦最小的托儿所还要小。
Gross and vulgar minds will always pay a higher respect to wealth than to talent; for wealth, although it be a far less efficient source of power than talent, happens to be far more intelligible.
粗俗粗俗的人总是对财富比对才能更尊重;因为，尽管财富是一种远不如人才有效的权力来源，但它碰巧要容易理解得多。
The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend. I have no wealth to bestow on him. If he knows that I am happy in loving him, he will want no other reward. Is not friendship divine in this?
我能为我的朋友做的最多的就是做他的朋友。我没有钱给他。如果他知道我爱他是幸福的，他就不要别的报酬了。难道友谊不是神圣的吗?
I know that a man who shows me his wealth is like the beggar who shows me his poverty; they are both looking for alms from me, the rich man for the alms of my envy, the poor man for the alms of my guilt.
我知道向我炫耀财富的人，就像向我炫耀贫穷的乞丐;他们都在向我乞求施舍，富人向我的嫉妒乞求施舍，穷人向我的罪恶乞求施舍。
Power is not of a man. Wealth does not center in the person of the wealthy. Celebrity is not inherent in any personality. To be celebrated, to be wealthy, to have power requires access to major institutions.
权力不是一个人的。财富并不以富人为中心。名人并不是与生俱来的。要想出名，要有钱，要有权力，就必须有进入大机构的机会。
There's a wealth of literature out there which, hopefully, will be, you know, exploded in the future, and I personally find it very rewarding to be involved with classic storytelling, and sort of legendary characters.

The reason we have poverty is that we have no imagination. There are a great many people accumulating what they think is vast wealth, but it's only money... they don't know how to enjoy it, because they have no imagination.
我们贫穷的原因是我们没有想象力。有很多人在积累他们认为是巨大的财富，但那只是钱……他们不知道如何享受它，因为他们没有想象力。
If it were (Is it not) outrageous that society should treat with such rigid precision those of its members who were most poorly endowed in the distribution or wealth that chance had made, and who were, therefore, most worthy of indulgence.
如果社会如此严格地对待其成员中那些在机遇所创造的分配或财富方面最缺乏天赋、因而最值得纵容的人，这(难道不是)令人愤慨的吗?
The accumulation of personal wealth and the extension of commercial transactions have developed a great and lamentable increase in certain classes of crimes, while the improvements in transport have largely facilitated the escape of fugitive criminals.
