A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
债务
Debt
Every professional athlete owes a debt of gratitude to the fans and management, and pays an installment every time he plays. He should never miss a payment.
每一位职业运动员都应该感谢球迷和管理层，并在每次比赛时支付分期付款。他不应该错过付款。
Small debts are like small shot; they are rattling on every side, and can scarcely be escaped without a wound: great debts are like cannon; of loud noise, but little danger.
小债如小弹;他们四面都是战兢，几乎没有不受伤的。噪音很大，但危险很小。
All of the problems we're facing with debt are manmade problems. We created them. It's called fantasy economics. Fantasy economics only works in a fantasy world. It doesn't work in reality.
我们面临的所有债务问题都是人为造成的。我们创造了它们。这叫做幻想经济学。幻想经济学只适用于幻想世界。这在现实中行不通。
We can never fully repay the debt of our proud nation to those who have laid down their lives for our country. The best we can do is honor their memory, ensure that their sacrifice is not in vain, and help provide for their families.
我们永远无法完全偿还我们自豪的国家对那些为我们的国家献出生命的人所欠下的债务。我们能做的最好的事情就是纪念他们，确保他们的牺牲不会白费，并帮助他们养家糊口。
We agree with Simpson and Bowles and others who have looked at this. What's necessary is to stabilize the debt and then work from there. You can't balance the budget in the short term because to do that would be to ratchet down the economy.
我们同意辛普森和鲍尔斯等人的观点。我们需要的是稳定债务，然后从那里开始工作。你不能在短期内平衡预算，因为那样做会使经济减速。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Touch pot, touch penny.
摸壶，摸便士。
A hundred years of fretting will not pay a halfpenny of debt.
一百年的烦恼还不了半便士的债务。
Rather go to bed with out dinner than to rise in debt.
与其负债累累，不如不吃晚饭就上床睡觉。
First our pleasures die - and then our hopes, and then our fears - and when these are dead, the debt is due dust claims dust - and we die too.
首先，我们的快乐消失了——然后是我们的希望，然后是我们的恐惧——当这些都消失了，我们的债务就归于尘土——我们也死了。
It's not long-term debt if the money is immediately paid back.
如果钱能立即偿还，那就不是长期债务。
