A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
经济
Economy
For those of you who don't understand Reaganomics, it's based on the principle that the rich and the poor will get the same amount of ice. In Reaganomics, however, the poor get all of theirs in winter.
对于那些不懂里根经济学的人来说,这是基于富人和穷人将得到等量的冰的原则。然而,在里根经济学中,穷人都是在冬天拿到的。
These were big ones. Those companies would then go in and build an electrical system or ports or highways, and these would basically serve just a few of the very wealthiest families in those countries.
这些是大的。然后这些公司就会进入并建立一个电力系统或港口或高速公路,这些基本上只服务于这些国家中少数最富有的家庭。
I am excited to rise today to support National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day. This celebration honors the husband and wife business owner teams whose work helps drive the economy and fuel job growth.
今天,我很高兴能够站起来支持全国父母企业主日。这一庆祝活动是为了表彰夫妻企业主团队,他们的工作有助于推动经济和就业增长。
It is not by the absolute quantity of produce obtained by either class, that we can correctly judge of the rate of profit, rent, and wages, but by the quantity of labour required to obtain that produce.
我们不能正确地判断利润、租金和工资的比率,不是根据这两类人所获得的绝对生产数量,而是根据获得这些生产所需的劳动力数量。
Make no mistake, if the payroll-tax cut is extended, it will become permanent. Social Security will become another welfare program as the tie between what someone pays and what they receive gets broken.
毫无疑问,如果工资税削减延长,它将成为永久性的。社会保障将成为另一个福利项目,因为人们支付的和他们得到的之间的联系将被打破。
Instead of saying that globalization is a fact, that it's inevitable, we've also got to demonstrate that while the growing interdependence of the world economy is indeed a fact, it's not uncontrollable.
与其说全球化是一个事实,是不可避免的,我们还必须证明,尽管世界经济日益增长的相互依赖确实是一个事实,但它并非无法控制。
Competition is the final price determinant and competitive prices may result in profits which force you to accept a rate of return less than you hoped for, or for that matter to accept temporary losses.
竞争是最终的价格决定因素,而竞争性的价格可能会带来利润,迫使你接受低于预期的回报率,或为此接受暂时的亏损。
When a woman earns a dollar, the payback is higher. She'll invest in her children, in their education, health care, and basic needs. The impact of a woman's role in the economy benefits society at large.
当一个女人赚了一美元,她的回报会更高。她将投资于她的孩子,投资于他们的教育、医疗保健和基本需求。妇女在经济中所起作用的影响使整个社会受益。
The average well-being of our societies is not dependent any longer on national income and economic growth. But the differences between us and where we are in relation to each other now matter very much.
我们社会的平均福利不再依赖于国民收入和经济增长。但是,我们之间的差异以及我们之间的关系现在非常重要。
When certain branches of the economy become obsolete, as in the case of the steel industry, not only do jobs disappear, which is obviously a terrible social hardship, but certain cultures also disappear.
当某些经济部门变得过时,比如钢铁行业,不仅工作岗位消失,这显然是一种可怕的社会困难,而且某些文化也消失了。
Now, occultism is not like mystic faculty, and it very seldom works in harmony either with business aptitude in the things of ordinary life or with a knowledge of the canons of evidence in its own sphere.
现在,神秘主义不像神秘的能力,它很少能与日常生活中的商业才能或其自身领域的证据法则知识协调工作。
You have to remember that in the Internet sector, the Internet companies' share prices have been volatile not just in the last week, but over the last couple of years. That's likely, I think, to continue.
你必须记住,在互联网行业,互联网公司的股价不仅在上周出现了波动,而且在过去几年也出现了波动。我认为,这种情况很可能会继续下去。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
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。
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。
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。
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。
