A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

经济

Economy

If you hear an expert talking about the Internet and saying it [does] this, or it will do that, you should treat it with the same skepticism that you might treat the comments of an economist about the economy or a weatherman about the weather.

如果你听到一位专家在谈论互联网,并说它会做这个或会做那个,你应该用同样的怀疑态度对待它,就像你对待经济学家对经济的评论或天气预报员对天气的评论一样。

When McGwire started the home run mania, attendance came back. The owners understood that the sudden spike in homers wasn't accidental. All baseball knew it. But baseball is run on money, and home runs meant money. Baseball turned a blind eye.

当麦奎尔发起本垒打热潮时,上座率又回来了。球队的老板们明白,本垒打的突然增加并不是偶然的。所有的棒球运动员都知道。但是棒球是靠钱跑的,本垒打就是钱。棒球对此熟视无睹。

There can be no peace in the world so long as a large proportion of the population lack the necessities of life and believe that a change of the political and economic system will make them available. World peace must be based on world plenty.

世界上不可能有和平,只要大部分人民缺乏生活的必需品,并相信政治和经济制度的改变将使他们能够得到这些必需品。世界和平必须建立在世界丰富的基础上。

KEEP EXPLORING

沿着这个主题,再读几句。

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。

A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT

给此刻的你,一点向前的力量。
