A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
需求
Demand
My hope is that flexible working and varying shift patterns will give workers a taste for idling and that they will gradually demand greater reductions in the length of the working week.

The arts, as a reflection of human existence at its highest, have always and spontaneously lived up to this demand of plenitude. No mature style of art in any culture has ever been simple.
艺术作为人类存在的最高反映,总是自发地满足着这种丰富性的要求。在任何文化中,没有一种成熟的艺术风格是简单的。
A strong economy causes an increase in the demand for housing; the increased demand for housing drives real-estate prices and rentals through the roof. And then affordable housing becomes completely inaccessible.

As the great grandchildren of the industrial revolution, we have learned, at last, that the heedless pursuit of more is unsustainable and, ultimately, unfulfilling. Our planet, our security, our sense of equanimity and our very souls demand something better, something different.
作为工业革命的曾孙,我们终于认识到,盲目追求更多是不可持续的,最终是无法实现的。我们的星球,我们的安全,我们的平静,我们的灵魂需要更好的,不同的东西。
