A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
经济
Economy
Inflation is not always the main problem, or indeed a problem at all. Sometimes, though rarely, deflation is a more serious threat, and we need to shelve many of the orthodoxies we have held so dear.
通货膨胀并不总是主要问题,甚至根本不是问题。有时,尽管很少,通缩是一个更严重的威胁,我们需要搁置许多我们一直珍视的正统观点。
But with the Industrial Revolution and introduction of various industrial techniques for purifying sugar, we have a situation in which what we are consuming is not good nutritionally or ecologically.
但是,随着工业革命和各种净化糖的工业技术的引进,我们所消费的东西在营养和生态上都不是很好。
Capital is money, capital is commodities. By virtue of it being value, it has acquired the occult ability to add value to itself. It brings forth living offspring, or, at the least, lays golden eggs.
资本就是金钱,资本就是商品。由于它的价值,它获得了神秘的能力,增加自己的价值。它会生出活的后代,或者至少会产下金蛋。
Raising the traditional and early retirement ages will mean extending workers' taxable earning years, fueling economic growth and putting a dent in our unfunded-liabilities crisis by delaying payouts.
提高传统退休年龄和提前退休年龄将意味着延长工人的应纳税年限,刺激经济增长,并通过推迟支付来缓解我们的无资金债务危机。
Then, when the Depression came, all of this changed completely. Since that time, the entire public is of a very different sort and there was not so much support for contemporary music in a direct way.
然后,当大萧条来临时,这一切都彻底改变了。从那时起,整个公众就完全不同了,也没有那么多的人直接支持当代音乐。
My interest in economics has always been in the whole corpus of economic theory, the interrelationships between the various fields of theory and their relevance for the formulation of economic policy.
我对经济学的兴趣一直是经济理论的整个语料库,各个理论领域之间的相互关系以及它们与经济政策制定的相关性。
At this time - we're in a dramatic crisis - euro bonds are precisely the wrong answer. They lead us into a debt union, not a stability union. Each country has to take its own steps to reduce its debt.
目前,我们正处于一场戏剧性的危机之中,欧元债券恰恰是错误的答案。他们把我们带入一个债务联盟,而不是稳定联盟。每个国家都必须采取自己的措施来减少债务。
I think you'll do as well as most professionals. Most professionals don't beat the market. Let's not over-rate my industry. But if you have time, you can be in good mutual funds that have good records.
我想你会做得和大多数专业人士一样好。大多数专业人士都无法战胜市场。我们不要高估我的行业。但如果你有时间,你可以投资业绩良好的共同基金。
In the struggle between capital and labor, more often than not capital has won, because the real source of value for most companies has historically been the hard assets that they owned and controlled.
在资本和劳动力之间的斗争中,资本往往获胜,因为对大多数公司来说,真正的价值来源历来是它们拥有和控制的硬资产。
A very large percentage of economic activity is shifting online and it makes sense that there are more services that are going to charge. It also means there are going to be more people willing to pay.
很大比例的经济活动正在转向网络,因此有更多的服务要收费是合理的。这也意味着会有更多的人愿意支付。
I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth, environmental protection, improvements in our educational system.
我主动推动了一系列对我国经济增长、环境保护和教育体系改善都非常重要的举措。

在接下来的论述中,我们提出一个关于自然、生产和财富分配的科学概述。对于这门科学,我们称之为政治经济学。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
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。
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。
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。
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。
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。
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。
