A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

经济

Economy

From this process has emerged a parallel process of translating traditional working and living values into a new political and economic power - a power increasingly based upon the strength of money and those material things money can purchase.

从这一进程中出现了一个平行的进程,把传统的工作和生活价值转变为一种新的政治和经济力量- -一种日益建立在金钱和金钱可以买到的物质力量基础上的力量。

I think right now the jury is out on where and how much profit is available in the consumer electronics industry, because if you look at the current consumer electronics players, the biggest ones on the planet struggle to make profit consistently.

我认为现在的陪审团还没有决定消费类电子产品行业的利润在哪里以及有多少,因为如果你看看目前的消费类电子产品厂商,这个星球上最大的几家厂商都在努力持续盈利。

Gold and silver, like other commodities, have an intrinsic value, which is not arbitrary, but is dependent on their scarcity, the quantity of labour bestowed in procuring them, and the value of the capital employed in the mines which produce them.

黄金和白银同其他商品一样,具有内在的价值,这种价值不是任意的,而是取决于它们的稀缺性、获得它们所付出的劳动的数量以及生产它们的矿山所使用的资本的价值。

The more I support with my economic plans the building of a middle class, the quicker they're going to turn around and say, 'Hey, we want a bigger say in things.' So, I knew what I was getting into right at the beginning. It's the right thing to do.

我越是支持我的经济计划,支持建立中产阶级,他们就会越快回过头来说,‘嘿,我们希望在一些事情上有更大的发言权。“所以,我一开始就知道自己要做什么。这是正确的做法。

I think in part the reason is that seeing an economy that is, in many ways, quite different from the one grows up in, helps crystallize issues: in one's own environment, one takes too much for granted, without asking why things are the way they are.

我认为,部分原因在于,看到一个在很多方面与自己成长环境截然不同的经济体,有助于明确问题:在一个人自己的环境中,人们把太多事情视为理所当然,而不去问为什么事情会这样。

The long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run, we are all dead. Economists set themselves too easy, too useless a task if in tempestuous seasons they can only tell us that when the storm is long past the ocean is flat again.

长期来看是对当前事务的误导。从长远来看,我们都死了。经济学家给自己设定的任务太简单,也太无用,如果他们只能在暴风雨季节告诉我们,当暴风雨早已过去,海洋又恢复了平静。

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。
