A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
经济
Economy
This is the moment when we must build on the wealth that open markets have created, and share its benefits more equitably. Trade has been a cornerstone of our growth and global development. But we will not be able to sustain this growth if it favors the few, and not the many.
在这个时刻，我们必须在开放市场创造的财富基础上再生产，更公平地分享这些财富带来的好处。贸易一直是我们增长和全球发展的基石。但是，如果这种增长只惠及少数人，而不是大多数人，我们将无法维持这种增长。
Here is a pleasant situation, and yet nothing pleasant to be seen. Here is a harbour without ships, a port without trade, a fishery without nets, a people without business; and, that which is worse than all, they do not seem to desire business, much less do they understand it.
这是一个令人愉快的局面，但却没有什么令人愉快的东西。这是一个没有船的港口，一个没有贸易的港口，一个没有网的渔场，一个没有生意的民族;更糟糕的是，他们似乎并不渴望做生意，更不用说懂得做生意了。
There are very important and practical issues raised by following this alternative route which says, let's look to material conditions, to the systems of production, to the needs that human beings have, and to competing alternative solutions to the satisfaction of those needs.
遵循这条替代路线会产生非常重要和实际的问题这条路线说，让我们看看物质条件，看看生产系统，看看人类的需求，看看满足这些需求的竞争性替代方案。
It's not about the pace, it's about the direction we've set. The pace is of course a function of many factors, including the magnitude of the supply shock. But what's probably more important is the probability of the supply shock translating into sustainable embedded inflation.
关键不在于速度，而在于我们已经确定的方向。速度当然是许多因素的函数，包括供应冲击的程度。但更重要的可能是，供应冲击转化为可持续的内在通胀的可能性。
We must then build a proper relationship between the richest and the poorest countries based on our desire that they are able to fend for themselves with the investment that is necessary in their agriculture, so that Africa is not a net importer of food, but an exporter of food.
然后，我们必须在最富有国家和最贫穷国家之间建立一种适当的关系，这种关系的基础是我们的愿望，即它们能够用其农业方面必要的投资来养活自己，这样非洲就不是粮食的净进口国，而是粮食的出口国。
With the right support, a child growing up in a dysfunctional household, who was destined for a lifetime on benefits could be put on an entirely different track - one which sees them move into fulfilling and sustainable work. In doing so, they will pull themselves out of poverty.
有了正确的支持，一个在功能失调的家庭中长大、注定一辈子靠救济金生活的孩子，可能会走上一条完全不同的道路——一条让他们走向充实和可持续工作的道路。这样做，他们将使自己摆脱贫困。
As someone with a deep faith in competition and the market, I also know that markets only work with tough enforcement of the rules that guarantee competition and fair play - and that the pressure to break those rules only gets stronger as the amount of money involved gets larger.
作为一个对竞争和市场有着深刻信念的人，我也知道，市场只有在严格执行那些保证竞争和公平竞争的规则的情况下才会发挥作用，而打破这些规则的压力只会随着涉及的资金数额的增加而变得更大。
I talk to a lot of librarians, and there's always a steady drumbeat of how libraries are places of community. But a lot of them have also recently - and just in the nick of time - refurbished, because during this economic downturn, people have a tendency to borrow instead of buy.
我和很多图书管理员交谈过，他们总是不断地强调图书馆是一个社区。但最近，许多新兴市场也刚刚翻新，因为在这次经济衰退期间，人们倾向于借钱而不是买房。
I will come up with a project that will wipe out poverty in the Philippines in two years. I want to remove the people from economic crisis by using the Marcos wealth. Long after I'm gone, people will remember me for building them homes and roads and hospitals and giving them food.
我将提出一个项目，在两年内消除菲律宾的贫困。我想用马科斯的财富把人们从经济危机中解救出来。在我离开很久之后，人们会记得我为他们建造了房屋、道路和医院，并给他们提供了食物。
Our policy is directed not against any country or doctrine, but against hunger, poverty, desperation and chaos. The purpose shall be the revival of a working economy in the world so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist.
我们的政策不是针对任何国家或学说，而是针对饥饿、贫困、绝望和混乱。其目的应是恢复世界上的工作经济，以便出现能够存在自由机构的政治和社会条件。
Just as fossil fuels from conventional sources are finite and are becoming depleted, those from difficult sources will also run out. If we put all our energy and resources into continued fossil fuel extraction, we will have lost an opportunity to have invested in renewable energy.
正如传统来源的化石燃料是有限的，而且正在枯竭一样，来自困难来源的化石燃料也将耗尽。如果我们把所有的能源和资源都投入到持续的化石燃料开采中，我们就失去了投资可再生能源的机会。
Greece is at a crucial crossroads. The choices that are made and the policies that are enforced will have a decisive impact on the wellbeing of Greeks. The way forward will not be easy but the problems can be solved, and will be solved, if there is unity, co-operation and consensus.
希腊正处于一个关键的十字路口。做出的选择和实施的政策将对希腊人的福祉产生决定性影响。前进的道路并不容易，但只要团结、合作和协商一致，问题是可以解决的，而且一定会得到解决。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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。
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。
The economy is not an abstraction. The economy consists of people, and it will only grow if people feel secure and are reasonably free.
经济不是一个抽象概念。经济是由人组成的，只有当人们感到安全并享有合理的自由时，经济才会增长。
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。
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。
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。
