A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
经济
Economy
In the immediate postwar years, the whole of Europe was in a recession. So first of all, it helped us step out of a recession; it gave a certain amount of speed to the economy. But that was the first step.
战后不久,整个欧洲都陷入了衰退。首先,它帮助我们走出衰退;它给了经济一定的速度。但这只是第一步。
The most meaningful engine of change, powerful enough to confront corporate power, may be not so much environmental quality, as the economic development and growth associated with the effort to improve it.
最有意义的变革引擎,强大到足以对抗企业的力量,可能不是环境质量,而是与改善环境的努力相关的经济发展和增长。
Every time economic and technical development takes a step forward, forces emerge which attempt to create political forms for what, on the economic-technical plane, has already more or less become reality.
每当经济和技术发展向前迈进一步,就会出现各种力量,企图为经济和技术层面上已经或多或少成为现实的东西创造政治形式。
Because of my own experience with market fluctuation, I recognize the great risks one takes on investments. This converts the Social Security safety net into a risky proposition many cannot afford to take.
由于我自己对市场波动的经验,我认识到投资的巨大风险。这将社会保障安全网变成了一个许多人无法承担的风险命题。
We don't want to go back to the same policies and the same practices that drove our economy into a ditch, that punished the middle class, and that led us to this catastrophe. We have to keep moving forward.
我们不想回到同样的政策和做法上,这些政策和做法使我们的经济陷入困境,惩罚了中产阶级,导致了这场灾难。我们必须继续前进。
Land began to be seen as something to be owned privately and exploited for private interests, and never was entirely reconciled with the old ideas that land should be utilized in common for the good of all.
土地开始被视为私人拥有并为私人利益而开发的东西,而且从来没有完全与旧观念相调和,即土地应为所有人的利益而被共同利用。
The death tax causes one-third of all family-owned small businesses to liquidate after the death of the owner. It is also an unfair tax because the assets have already been taxed once at their income level.
死亡税导致三分之一的家庭所有的小企业在所有者死亡后进行清算。这也是一种不公平的税收,因为这些资产已经按其收入水平被征税过一次。
The really disturbing thing about Somalia is that in a country where there are few economic opportunities, pirates are perceived as glamorous and are held in awe by young boys who aspire to their lifestyle.

In six short years, small business owners and family farmers will once again be assessed a tax on the value of their property at the time of their death, despite having paid taxes throughout their lifetime.

I was the one that brought it in, but not only for the north-east, for every area so we can develop all the regional economies, lift up the national productivity, get greater wealth and share it more evenly.

Now, we love our auto industry. But if we had worked harder on diversifying this economy long ago, then if one of the legs of the stool starts to get wobbly, at least you've got three other legs to stand on.
现在,我们热爱我们的汽车工业。但如果我们很久以前就努力实现经济多元化,那么如果凳子的一条腿开始摇晃,至少你还有三条腿可以支撑。
They flooded liquidity in the marketplace but the mortgage rate is based much more on expectations of inflation. So if the average investor believes that there is inflation coming, they'll move that rate up.
它们向市场注入了大量流动性,但抵押贷款利率更多地是基于通胀预期。因此,如果普通投资者认为通胀即将到来,他们会将利率上调。
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.
