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 that the use of copyright is going to change dramatically. Part of it is economics. There is just going to be so much content out there - there's a scarcity of attention. Information consumes attention, and there's too much information.
我认为版权的使用将发生巨大的变化。部分原因是经济原因。将会有那么多的内容在那里-有一个稀缺的关注。信息消耗注意力,信息太多了。
I have learned as much in the last three years as in any other comparable period of my life, but with an added realisation of how little over a half century of study one has in fact managed to learn of the whole range of economic policy issues.
我在过去三年里学到的东西,与我一生中任何一个类似时期学到的一样多,但我也意识到,半个多世纪的学习,实际上对整个经济政策问题的了解是如此之少。
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。
We continue to recognize the greater ability of some to earn more than others. But we do assert that the ambition of the individual to obtain for him a proper security is an ambition to be preferred to the appetite for great wealth and great power.
我们继续认识到一些人比其他人挣得更多的能力更强。但是,我们确实主张,个人获得适当安全的野心是一种比追求巨大财富和权力更可取的野心。
As the revenue of the farmer is realized in raw produce, or in the value of raw produce, he is interested, as well as the landlord, in its high exchangeable value, but a low price of produce may be compensated to him by a great additional quantity.
由于农民的收入是通过生鲜产品或生鲜产品的价值来实现的,因此农民和地主都对其高交换价值感兴趣,但低价格的产品可以通过大量增加的数量来补偿农民。
Of course, looking tough on inflation is part of any central banker's job description: if investors believe that inflation is going to get out of control, you end up with higher interest rates and capital flight, and a vicious circle quickly ensues.
当然,对通胀持强硬态度是任何央行行长职责的一部分:如果投资者认为通胀将失控,最终将导致利率上升和资本外逃,恶性循环很快就会出现。
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。
I have arrived at the conviction that the neglect by economists to discuss seriously what is really the crucial problem of our time is due to a certain timidity about soiling their hands by going from purely scientific questions into value questions.
我已经确信,经济学家忽视认真讨论我们这个时代真正关键的问题,是因为他们在从纯粹的科学问题转向价值问题的过程中,存在着一定的畏惧感。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。

The economy is not an abstraction. The economy consists of people, and it will only grow if people feel secure and are reasonably free.

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。
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。
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.

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。
