A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
经济
Economy
The adaptive markets hypothesis says that all economic institutions, like our own species, develop and change over time, depending on the population of investors that are engaged with them.
适应性市场假说认为，所有经济机构，就像我们人类一样，都会随着时间的推移而发展和变化，这取决于与之打交道的投资者群体。
I have a hard time believing athletes are overpriced. If an owner is losing money, give it up. It's a business. I have trouble figuring out why owners would stay in if they're losing money.
我很难相信运动员被高估了。如果一个老板正在赔钱，那就放弃吧。这是一个业务。我很难弄明白，如果业主赔钱了，他们为什么会留下来。
And here a most heinous charge is made, that the nation has been burdened with unnecessary expenses for the sole purpose of preventing the discharge of our debts and the abolition of taxes.
在这里，有一项最令人发指的指控，即这个国家背负着不必要的开支，其唯一目的就是阻止我们清偿债务和废除税收。
All of the problems we're facing with debt are manmade problems. We created them. It's called fantasy economics. Fantasy economics only works in a fantasy world. It doesn't work in reality.
我们面临的所有债务问题都是人为造成的。我们创造了它们。这叫做幻想经济学。幻想经济学只适用于幻想世界。这在现实中行不通。
If commerce is the engine of our economy, then advertising is the spark. Responsible advertisers are the drivers who keep us on the right track, leading to a richer, more benevolent society.
如果商业是我们经济的引擎，那么广告就是火花。负责任的广告商是让我们走在正确道路上的动力，引领我们走向一个更富裕、更仁慈的社会。
Eurobonds are absolutely wrong. In order to bring about common interest rates, you need similar competitiveness levels, similar budget situations. You don't get them by collectivizing debts.
欧洲债券是绝对错误的。为了实现共同的利率，你需要相似的竞争力水平，相似的预算状况。你不能通过收集债务来得到它们。
I like computers. I like the Internet. It's a tool that can be used. But don't be misled into thinking that these technologies are anything other than aspects of a degenerate economic system.
我喜欢电脑。我喜欢互联网。这是一个可以使用的工具。但不要被误导，认为这些技术只是一个退化的经济体系的各个方面。
We must ensure that the global market is embedded in broadly shared values and practices that reflect global social needs, and that all the world's people share the benefits of globalization.
我们必须确保全球市场融入反映全球社会需求的广泛共同价值观和实践，让全球人民共享全球化带来的好处。
So that it cannot be denied, but the lowering of Interest may, and probably will keep some Money from coming abroad into Trade; whereas on the contrary, high Interest certainly brings it out.
因此，这是不能否认的，但利率的降低可能，而且很可能会阻止一些资金流向海外进行贸易;相反，高利息肯定会把它带出来。
Well, there's no doubt about the fact that, that higher energy prices lead to greater conservation, greater energy efficiency, and they also, of course, play a useful role on the supply side.
毫无疑问，更高的能源价格会带来更大的节约，更高的能源效率，当然，它们也会在供给方面发挥有益的作用。
If we had a hydrogen economy worldwide, every nation on earth could create its own energy source to support its economy, and the threat of war over diminishing resources would just evaporate.
如果我们在世界范围内都有一个氢经济，地球上的每个国家都可以创造自己的能源来支持自己的经济，而由于资源减少而引发的战争威胁就会烟消云散。
Like the vast majority of my constituents, I continue to be concerned about record profits reported by petroleum companies at a time when consumers are paying record high prices for gasoline.
与我的绝大多数选民一样，在消费者为汽油支付创纪录高价之际，我仍然对石油公司公布的创纪录利润感到担忧。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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。

在有限的世界里，物质消费的无限增长是不可能的。
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。
