Provision
Advice in old age is foolish; for what can be more absurd than to increase our provisions for the road the nearer we approach to our journey's end.
年老时的忠告是愚蠢的;因为，有什么比我们越接近旅程的终点，就为道路增加给养更荒唐的事呢?
We got more provisions for our whiskey than the same money, which we paid for the liquor, would have bought; so after all it proved a very profitable investment.
我们买威士忌的钱比我们买酒的钱还多;毕竟，这是一项非常有利可图的投资。
I would not be opposed to devising a new system of pensions, in which one part was based on collective provision, but which also gave incentives for people to take out an additional, personal plan.
我不反对设计一个新的养恤金制度，其中一个部分是以集体规定为基础的，但也鼓励人们采取额外的个人计划。
