A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
经济
Economy
That means following a very restrictive fiscal and monetary policy which will squeeze the monopolies and cut their subsidies. On the micro level we will allow other economic agents, both domestic and foreign, to compete with them.
这意味着要遵循非常严格的财政和货币政策,这将挤压垄断企业,削减它们的补贴。在微观层面,我们将允许其他国内外经济主体与之竞争。
My task over the last two years hasn't just been to stop the bleeding. My task has also been to try to figure out how do we address some of the structural problems in the economy that have prevented more Googles from being created.

Not exclusively, but the bulk of our local economy should be covered by local currencies, which is more efficient than having global currencies which lose connection with reality in the markets, shops and communities of the people.

We do not have a budget support. We are now fully independent in terms of requirements, but we still have a need for development assistance separate from the budget. So all the economic aid we receive is for development assistance.
我们没有预算支持。我们现在在需求方面完全独立,但我们仍然需要把发展援助从预算中分离出来。所以我们得到的所有经济援助都是用于发展援助。
We hear of the wealth of nations, of the powers of production, of the demand and supply of markets, and we forget that these words mean no more, if they mean any thing, then the happiness, and the labor, and the necessities of men.

How did the economy produce all these amazing things that we have around us - computers and cell phones and so on? There were a bunch of ideas, and the good ones grew and prospered. And the bad ones were pretty ruthlessly weeded out.
经济是如何产生我们身边所有这些神奇的东西的——电脑和手机等等?有很多想法,好的想法不断发展壮大。坏的被无情地淘汰了。
Now, anybody who thinks that we can move this economy forward with just a few folks at the top doing well, hoping that it's going to trickle down to working people who are running faster and faster just to keep up, you'll never see it.
现在,如果有人认为我们可以让经济向前发展,只需要少数顶层的人做得很好,希望它会慢慢惠及那些跑得越来越快的工薪阶层,只是为了跟上经济的步伐,你永远也看不到这种情况。

We need to recognise that what really matters isn't buying more and more consumer goods, but family, friends, and knowing that we are doing something worthwhile with our lives. Helping to reduce the appalling consequences of world poverty should be part of that reassessment.
