A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
经济
Economy
As the era of Internet sector investing comes to a close, it appears that investors are becoming more discerning about companies on an individual level, something we believe will result in a positive impact on the competitive landscape.
随着互联网行业投资时代的结束，投资者似乎在个人层面上对企业越来越有眼光，我们相信这将对竞争格局产生积极影响。
Globalization, as defined by rich people like us, is a very nice thing... you are talking about the Internet, you are talking about cell phones, you are talking about computers. This doesn't affect two-thirds of the people of the world.
像我们这样的富人定义的全球化是一件非常好的事情……你在谈论互联网，你在谈论手机，你在谈论电脑。这不会影响到世界上三分之二的人。
With the sugar market hysteria, the people are obviously worried and expect higher inflation. When this hysteria subsides, which we're probably observing, then I hope that people will also get less worried about the future of inflation.
随着糖市场的歇斯底里，人们显然很担心，并预计通胀将会上升。当这种歇斯底里的情绪平息下来，我们可能正在观察到，那么我希望人们对未来通胀的担忧也会减少。
I'm not sure it's the stimulus money that will necessarily allow the economy to recover. It will help to fortify our budgets, frankly, to ensure that there isn't as much backsliding in the areas of education and healthcare, for example.
我不确定刺激资金是否一定会让经济复苏。坦率地说，这将有助于加强我们的预算，以确保在教育和医疗等领域不会出现那么多倒退。
Classic economic theory, based as it is on an inadequate theory of human motivation, could be revolutionized by accepting the reality of higher human needs, including the impulse to self actualization and the love for the highest values.
经典的经济学理论是建立在一个不充分的人类动机理论的基础上的，它可以通过接受更高的人类需求的现实，包括自我实现的冲动和对最高价值的热爱，来进行革命性的变革。
A society that does not use the intellectual power of its female population fully is not a wise society. Most women are not as tainted by mistakes in the conduct of the economy as the male population, and now they deserve an opportunity.
一个没有充分利用其女性人口的智力力量的社会不是一个明智的社会。大多数女性不像男性那样被经济运行中的错误所玷污，现在她们应该得到一个机会。
I've often said that far more sensible than a 'make poverty history' campaign would be a 'make wealth history' campaign. It is, after all, the wealthy people who do all the damage. The less money you earn, the fewer resources you use up.
我经常说，“创造贫困历史”运动远比“创造财富历史”运动更明智。毕竟，所有的损失都是富人造成的。你赚的钱越少，你消耗的资源就越少。
But as you say, the fundamental stumbling block is the question of the future of the economy. And it's not just the sort of economic laboratory question, of what kind of system would best generate growth, which is the way it's presented.
但正如你所说，根本的绊脚石是经济的未来问题。这不仅仅是经济实验室的问题，什么样的体系能最好地促进增长，这是它的表现方式。
Here we are to remember that in consequence of our opinion that labor is the Father and active principle of wealth, as lands are the Mother, that the state by killing, mutilating, or imprisoning their members do withal punish themselves.
在此，我们要记住，由于我们认为劳动是财富之父，正如土地是财富之母一样，国家通过杀害、残害或监禁其成员来惩罚自己，因此，劳动是财富之父，积极的财富原则也是财富之母。
I do not support raising the minimum wage, and the reason is as follows. When the minimum wage is raised, workers are priced out of the market. That is the economic reality that seems, at least so far, to be missing from this discussion.
我不支持提高最低工资，原因如下。当最低工资提高时，工人们就因物价过高而被挤出市场。这就是经济现实，至少到目前为止，似乎没有从这场讨论中看到。
Poverty is a solved problem - all they have to do is abolish taxes and regulations which cripple those intelligent, capable, and responsible men and women and destroy their productive capacity, then stand back and watch the economy boom.
贫困是一个已经解决的问题——他们所要做的就是废除税收和规章制度，这些制度削弱了那些聪明、能干、负责任的男男女女，破坏了他们的生产能力，然后袖手旁观，看着经济繁荣。
On the one hand, the financial projection is on the agenda - we will see if this problem can be resolved or not. I think it is a right idea to stage a special summit, which would deal with the question of priorities of European politics.
一方面，财政预测已提上日程——我们将看看这个问题能否得到解决。我认为举行一次特别首脑会议是一个正确的想法，它将处理欧洲政治优先事项的问题。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.
学习经济学的目的不是为了获得一套现成的经济问题的答案，而是学习如何避免被经济学家所欺骗。
Don't ever let economic alone determine your career or how you spend the majority of your time.
永远不要让经济因素独自决定你的职业或你如何度过大部分时间。
Infinite growth of material consumption in a finite world is an impossibility.
在有限的世界里，物质消费的无限增长是不可能的。
You might say that economic history is the history of people learning to manage risk.
你可能会说经济史是人们学习管理风险的历史。
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.
我们需要认识到，真正重要的不是购买越来越多的消费品，而是家人、朋友，以及知道我们在用生命做一些有价值的事情。帮助减少世界贫困的可怕后果应该是重新评估的一部分。
Economic growth and environmental protection are not at odds. They're opposite sides of the same coin if you're looking at longer-term prosperity.
经济增长和环境保护并不矛盾。如果你着眼于长期的繁荣，它们是同一枚硬币的两面。
