经济
Economy
As the world's sole remaining super power and economic powerhouses, our nation's ability to be at the forefront of innovation and production has enabled unparalleled economic success of our nation's workforce.
作为世界上仅存的超级大国和经济强国，我国处于创新和生产前沿的能力使我国劳动力获得了空前的经济成功。
Every portfolio benefits from bonds; they provide a cushion when the stock market hits a rough patch. But avoiding stocks completely could mean your investment won't grow any faster than the rate of inflation.
每个投资组合都受益于债券;当股市遇到困难时，它们提供了一个缓冲。但完全避开股市可能意味着你的投资增速不会超过通胀率。
Speculators get a bad rap. In the popular imagination they're greedy, heedless, and amoral, adept at price manipulations and dirty tricks. In reality, they often play a key role in making markets run smoothly.
投机者名声不好。在大众的想象中，他们贪婪、粗心、不道德，擅长操纵价格和肮脏的伎俩。在现实中，它们常常在使市场平稳运行方面发挥关键作用。
Got to build that business base and then you can fund all the things people want: education, health care, strong law enforcement, roads, bridges, infrastructure - all those things flow from that economic base.
要建立这个商业基础，然后你就可以为人们想要的一切提供资金:教育、医疗保健、强有力的执法、道路、桥梁、基础设施——所有这些都来自这个经济基础。
For the producers, there was no reason to produce. You get money, but you couldn't use this money. For consumers, you could have money, but you have no way to use it because you go to the shop and see nothing.
对于生产者来说，没有理由去生产。你得到了钱，但是你不能用这些钱。对于消费者来说，你可以有钱，但是你没有办法使用它，因为你去商店却什么也看不到。
An economy genuinely local and neighborly offers to localities a measure of security that they cannot derive from a national or a global economy controlled by people who, by principle, have no local commitment.

Our combination of great research universities, a pro-risk business culture, deep pools of innovation-seeking equity capital and reliable business and contract law is unprecedented and unparalleled in the world.
我们拥有一流的研究型大学、支持风险的商业文化、大量寻求创新的股权资本以及可靠的商业和合同法，这些优势在世界上都是前所未有的。
What I find very interesting about the mutual funds managers is that here are people who are the new masters of the universe. They're managing billions, yet they're subject to this quiet daily tyranny of numbers.
我发现共同基金经理非常有趣的一点是，这些人是新的宇宙主人。他们管理着数十亿美元的资产，但他们每天都受制于这种安静的数字专制。
If the demand for home commodities should be diminished, because of the fall of rent on the part of the landlords, it will be increased in a far greater degree by the increased opulence of the commercial classes.
如果由于地主的租金下降而使对住宅商品的需求减少，那么，由于商业阶级日益富裕，对住宅商品的需求就会大大增加。
The crisis and recession have led to very low interest rates, it is true, but these events have also destroyed jobs, hamstrung economic growth and led to sharp declines in the values of many homes and businesses.
诚然，危机和衰退导致了非常低的利率，但这些事件也摧毁了就业，阻碍了经济增长，并导致许多房屋和企业的价值大幅下跌。
I think mystery writers and thriller writers - whatever genre you want to call it - are taking on some of the biggest, most interesting kind of socioeconomic issues around in a really interesting, compelling way.

Of course, tax revenues have ended up being substantially higher than they were at the time these dire projections were made, and we are very close now to having a balanced budget. All that has been very helpful.
当然，税收收入最终大大高于做出这些可怕预测时的水平，我们现在非常接近实现预算平衡。所有这些都很有帮助。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Don't ever let economic alone determine your career or how you spend the majority of your time.

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。
