A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

市场

Market

I think the market is always going to be around. The goal is not to say, let's get rid of the market, because the market does render a huge number of services, and I don't want to have a fight about the price of something every time I buy a book or a bottle of water.

我认为市场将永远存在。我们的目标不是说,让我们摆脱市场,因为市场提供了大量的服务,我不想每次买一本书或一瓶水的时候都要为某个东西的价格而争吵。

We don't live with the community of yesteryear. And we don't enjoy the public services Europeans do. So we turn to the market. Once we do, we find that service providers raise the standards of personal life, so that we come to feel we need them to live our 'best' personal lives.

我们与过去的社会格格不入。我们不享受欧洲人享受的公共服务。所以我们转向市场。一旦我们这样做了,我们就会发现服务提供者提高了个人生活的标准,因此我们觉得我们需要他们来过我们“最好的”个人生活。

People who volunteer at the recycling center or soup kitchen through a church or neighborhood group can come to feel part of something 'larger.' Such a sense of belonging calls on a different part of a self than the market calls on. The market calls on our sense of self-interest. It focuses us on what we 'get.'

通过教堂或社区团体在回收中心或施粥所做义工的人,会觉得自己是某个“更大”群体的一部分。这种归属感需要的是一个不同于市场需求的自我。市场需要我们的利己意识。它把我们的注意力集中在我们“得到”的东西上。
