A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
经济
Economy
A ‘sound’ banker, alas! is not one who foresees danger and avoids it, but one who, when he is ruined, is ruined in a conventional and orthodox way along with his fellows, so that no one can really blame him.
一个“健全”的银行家,唉!他不是一个预见到危险并避免它的人,而是一个当他被毁灭时,以一种传统的、正统的方式和他的伙伴们一起毁灭的人,因此没有人能真正地责怪他。
You know, even people who talk about cutting spending and they go 'That's not the spending that I was actually talking about that you're supposed to be cutting.' Well, we have to be looking across the board.
你知道,即使是那些谈论削减开支的人,他们也会说,‘那不是我实际上所说的你应该削减的开支。“嗯,我们必须全面考虑。
We do have some assistance from the World Bank but not from the IMF. We are not borrowing yet, but we are considering, in the future, borrowing from the Kuwait Fund to support our infrastructure development.
我们确实得到了世界银行的一些援助,但没有得到国际货币基金组织的援助。我们还没有借款,但我们正在考虑今后从科威特基金借款,以支持我们的基础设施发展。
The goal of long-run economic growth without asset price bubbles is not only achievable, but is something we should expect if we put a sound regulatory framework in place and if policymakers remain vigilant.
没有资产价格泡沫的长期经济增长目标不仅是可以实现的,而且如果我们建立一个健全的监管框架,如果政策制定者保持警惕,这也是我们应该期待的。
In the economic sphere, the program demanded thorough decentralization and managerial independence of enterprises, as well as legalization of small-scale private enterprise, especially in the service sector.
在经济领域,该方案要求企业彻底分权和管理独立,并使小型私营企业,特别是服务业的私营企业合法化。
The production of wealth is the result of agreement between labor and capital, between employer and employed. Its distribution, therefore, will follow the law of its creation, or great injustice will be done.
财富的产生是劳动与资本、雇主与被雇佣者之间的协议的结果。因此,它的分配将遵循其产生的规律,否则将造成巨大的不公正。
Privatization must come after the liberalization of prices... How on earth can you privatize or denationalize anything if you have no means of assessing the value of assets before offering them on the market?
私有化必须在价格自由化之后进行。如果你无法在资产上市前评估其价值,你怎么能将其私有化或非国有化呢?
But my point is that you design something in the end that precludes any unhealthy trading practices that are not going to serve your environmental or your economic objectives but now is not the time to do it.
但我的观点是,你最终要设计一些东西,来阻止任何不健康的交易行为,这些交易行为不会为你的环境或经济目标服务,但现在还不是时候。
Unlike the Laws of Production, those of Distribution are partly of human institution, since the manner in which wealth is distributed in any given society, depends on the statutes or usages therein obtaining.
与生产法则不同,分配法则在一定程度上是人类制度的一部分,因为在任何特定的社会中,财富的分配方式都取决于其中获得的法规或惯例。
As I noted in my Nobel lecture, an early insight in my work on the economics of information concerned the problem of appropriability - the difficulty that those who pay for information have in getting returns.
正如我在诺贝尔奖演讲中所指出的,我对信息经济学研究的早期洞见涉及可适当性问题——即那些为信息付费的人在获得回报方面存在的困难。
Commentators quote economic studies alleging that market downturns predicted four out of the last five recessions. That is an understatement. Wall Street indexes predicted nine out of the last five recessions!
评论人士援引经济研究称,过去五次经济衰退中,有四次是由市场下滑预测的。这是一个保守的说法。华尔街指数预测了过去五次衰退中的九次!
I don't think we need to extend unemployment any further without paying for it, and without making some modifications such as turning it into a loan at some point. It then encourages people to go back to work.
我认为我们不需要在不支付失业救济金的情况下,不做任何修改,比如在某个时候把失业救济金变成贷款的情况下,把失业救济金再延长一段时间。然后鼓励人们回去工作。
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。
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。
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。
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。
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。
