A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

There is no doubt that now, more than ever, we must work to end our dependence on foreign oil sources. But we cannot do so by ignoring the wishes of the coastal communities that oppose drilling.
毫无疑问，我们现在比以往任何时候都必须努力结束对外国石油资源的依赖。但我们不能无视反对钻探的沿海社区的意愿。
Even if gas prices fall, consumers will continue to be gouged at the pump the only thing that we can be sure rises faster that the price of gasoline is the skyrocketing profits of oil companies.
即使天然气价格下降，消费者仍将继续在加油站被掏空。我们唯一可以肯定的是，汽油价格上涨得更快的是石油公司利润的飙升。
Economists are coming to acknowledge that measures of national wealth and poverty in terms strictly of average income tell you little that is significant of the health or viability of a society.
经济学家们开始认识到，严格按照平均收入来衡量国家财富和贫困，并不能说明一个社会的健康状况或生存能力有多么重要。
You mentioned the Free Trade Agreement and yes I can't tell you how pleased we are that Morocco is one of the countries that our country is going to begin negotiating a Free Trade Agreement with.
你提到了自由贸易协定，是的，我无法告诉你我们有多高兴，摩洛哥是我国将开始与之谈判自由贸易协定的国家之一。
We've got to help small businesses because they are the backbone of our economy. We've got to increase opportunities for everyone and we can do that by helping women and minority-owned businesses.
我们必须帮助小企业，因为他们是我们经济的支柱。我们必须为每个人增加机会，我们可以通过帮助妇女和少数人拥有的企业来做到这一点。
Europe would be well advised to pay more attention to Latin America. The emerging economies are the engines of the global economy. Colombia has done too little to improve its reputation in Europe.
欧洲最好多关注拉丁美洲。新兴经济体是全球经济的引擎。哥伦比亚在改善其在欧洲的声誉方面做得太少。
If the machinery for distribution in the present economic system of the world is incapable of properly distributing the productive wealth of nations, then that system is false and must be altered.

Anywhere you have extreme poverty and no national health insurance, no promise of health care regardless of social standing, that's where you see the sharp limitations of market-based health care.
无论在哪里，只要极度贫困，没有全民医疗保险，无论社会地位如何，都没有医疗保障的承诺，你就会看到以市场为基础的医疗保健的巨大局限性。
Wealth has more and more increased, and at the same time gathered itself more and more into masses, strangely altering the old relations, and increasing the distance between the rich and the poor.
财富越来越多，同时也越来越多地聚集在一起，奇怪地改变了过去的关系，增加了富人和穷人之间的距离。
The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other. It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich.
我们这个世纪的贫困不同于任何其他世纪。它不像以前那样是自然匮乏的结果，而是富人强加给世界其他地区的一系列优先事项的结果。
The average trade of an individual is in the thousands of shares, whereas the institutional trade can be in the millions of shares. Clearly, the bigger the order, the bigger the move in the stock.
一个人的平均交易是数千股，而机构的交易可以是数百万股。显然，订单越大，股价的波动就越大。
People understand we have a dependence upon foreign oil. What they do not understand and find incredibly ridiculous is that we import refined product just making us more dependent on the industry.
人们明白我们依赖外国石油。他们不理解的是，我们进口的精制产品只会让我们更加依赖这个行业，这让他们觉得非常荒谬。
