A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
经济
Economy
We're living in a whole new social and economic order with a whole new set of problems and challenges. Old assumptions and old programs don't work in this new society and the more we try to stretch them to make them fit, the more we will be seen as running away from what is reality.
我们生活在一个全新的社会和经济秩序中，面临着一系列全新的问题和挑战。旧的假设和旧的计划在这个新社会行不通，我们越是试图把它们延伸到合适的地方，我们就越会被视为在逃避现实。
A creative mindset is in increasingly high demand: employers are vying for workers who are able to dream big and deliver big with the next must-have product. Creative thinking fuels innovation, it leads to new goods and services, creates jobs and delivers substantial economic rewards.
创新思维的需求越来越大:雇主们都在争夺那些能够胸怀大志、推出下一款必备产品的员工。创造性思维推动创新，带来新的商品和服务，创造就业机会，并带来可观的经济回报。
And I think the more money you put in people's hands, the more they will spend. And if they don't spend it, they invest it. And investing it is another way of creating jobs. It puts money into mutual funds or other kinds of banks that can go out and make loans, and we need to do that.
我认为你给人们的钱越多，他们就会花得越多。如果他们不花钱，他们就投资。投资是创造就业的另一种方式。它把钱投入共同基金或其他类型的银行，这些银行可以出去贷款，我们需要这样做。
The arts community is generally dominated by liberals because if you are concerned mainly with painting or sculpture, you don't have time to study how the world works. And if you have no understanding of economics, strategy, history and politics, then naturally you would be a liberal.
艺术界通常由自由主义者主导，因为如果你主要关注绘画或雕塑，你就没有时间去研究世界是如何运作的。如果你不懂经济、战略、历史和政治，那么你自然会成为一个自由主义者。
People would have a health care insurance policy they can call their own. They could choose one that exactly fits their families' needs and their budgets, be able to take that coverage with them from job to job and be able to fire their insurance company if it doesn't treat them well.
人们将拥有一份他们可以称之为自己的医疗保险。他们可以选择一个完全符合他们家庭需求和预算的保险，能够在不同的工作中都有保险，如果保险公司对他们不好，他们也可以解雇保险公司。
I think it would help tremendously to have a senator that knows where jobs come from, that knows how to create them, that knows how to bring them back and, importantly, knows what it means to manage billions of dollars' worth of expenses and cut billions of dollars' worth of expenses.
我认为这将有助于非常有一个参议员,知道工作是从哪里来的,知道如何创建它们,知道如何将他们带回,重要的是,知道它意味着管理数十亿美元的费用和削减数十亿美元的费用。
I don't want to get into the 'who's a hostage-taker' discussion here, but what is the estate tax? It's a double tax on death. Economists will tell you that it's really not a tax that soaks the rich, but it's a tax on capital that deprives business investment and therefore job creation.
我不想在这里讨论“谁是劫持人质者”，但什么是遗产税?这是对死亡的双重征税。经济学家会告诉你，这并不是一种让富人掏空腰包的税收，而是一种资本税，它剥夺了企业投资，因此无法创造就业。
When I talk to people, their concern is, how are you going to create jobs? How are you going to help turn this economy around? How are we going to make sure that when my kids get out of high school or college there will be some job there? Those are the concerns that are on their minds.
当我和人们交谈时，他们关心的是，你将如何创造就业机会?你将如何帮助扭转经济?我们如何确保我的孩子们高中或大学毕业后，那里会有工作?这些都是他们所关心的问题。
Look, if you have somebody who doesn't have health insurance, who doesn't have a doctor or dentist, and in order to deal with their cold or flu or dental problem, they go to an emergency room - in general, that visit will cost ten times more than walking into a community health center.
看,如果人没有医疗保险,没有医生或牙医,为了应对自己的感冒或流感或牙齿问题,他们去急诊室,在一般情况下,访问将花费十倍走进社区卫生中心。
The most important thing for small businesses is getting the economy back on its feet. That - the key driver of small business activity is demand for their product, and that is what we are trying to do, getting the economy back on its feet. That's far more important than other factors.
对小企业来说，最重要的事情是让经济重新站起来。小企业活动的关键驱动力是对他们产品的需求，这也是我们正在努力做的，让经济重新站起来。这比其他因素重要得多。
We have to remember we're in a global economy. The purpose of fiscal stimulus is not simply to sustain activity in our national economies, but to help the global economy as well, and that's why it's so critical that measures in those packages avoid anything that smacks of protectionism.
我们必须记住，我们身处全球经济之中。财政刺激的目的不仅是维持我们国家经济的活力，而且是帮助全球经济，这就是为什么这些一揽子计划中的措施避免任何带有保护主义色彩的措施是如此重要。
Thanks to farm subsidies, the fine collaboration between agribusiness and Congress, soy, corn and cattle became king. And chicken soon joined them on the throne. It was during this period that the cycle of dietary and planetary destruction began, the thing we're only realizing just now.
由于农业补贴，农业综合企业和国会之间的良好合作，大豆、玉米和牛成了国王。小鸡很快就和他们一起登上了王位。正是在这个时期，饮食和地球毁灭的循环开始了，我们现在才意识到这一点。
