A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
经济
Economy
I am prepared to discuss the things that I believe we need to do not just to raise the debt limit. Raising the debt limit is the easiest thing. That's one vote away. The hard thing is to show the world we are serious about putting our spending in order so we can show people we'll able to pay our bills down the road.
我准备讨论我认为我们需要做的事情,而不仅仅是提高债务上限。提高债务上限是最容易的事情。一票之差。困难的是要向世界表明,我们是认真对待我们的支出的,这样我们才能向人们表明,我们将来能够支付我们的账单。
I don't think it should be a surprise when we're talking about energy and trying to have more home-grown energy, be less reliant on foreign oil when you look at our health care that we're trying to get more affordable health care, that these are going to create major debates in this country and be somewhat polarizing.
我不认为它应该是一个惊喜当我们谈论能源和想要更多的本土能源,减少对外国石油的依赖,当你看看我们的卫生保健,我们试图获得更多的可负担得起的卫生保健,这些是要创建主要的辩论在这个国家和有点极端。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
You might say that economic history is the history of people learning to manage risk.
你可能会说经济史是人们学习管理风险的历史。
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。
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。
Infinite growth of material consumption in a finite world is an impossibility.

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。
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。
