A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
经济

The minimum wage is the black teenage unemployment act. It is the guaranteed way of holding the poor, the minorities and the disenfranchised out of the mainstream is if you price their original services too high.
最低工资是黑人青少年失业法案。如果你把穷人、少数民族和被剥夺权利的人的原始服务定价过高，这是把他们赶出主流的保证方式。
Right now the long-term investors are telling us that they're not as concerned about inflation and so we're seeing these rates now move into the marketplace and out to the street - rates that individuals can get.
现在，长期投资者告诉我们，他们不那么担心通货膨胀，所以我们现在看到这些利率进入市场，走向街头——个人可以得到的利率。
Good economic policy requires not so much the bravado to implement drastic change as the strength and wisdom to make reasonable trade-offs over the many years it takes to transform a country's standard of living.
好的经济政策需要的不是实施重大变革的虚张声势，而是在改变一个国家的生活水平所需要的多年时间里做出合理权衡的力量和智慧。
A strong economy causes an increase in the demand for housing; the increased demand for housing drives real-estate prices and rentals through the roof. And then affordable housing becomes completely inaccessible.
强劲的经济导致对住房的需求增加;住房需求的增加推动了房地产价格和租金的飙升。然后经济适用房就完全无法获得。
Funding privatized accounts with Social Security dollars would not only make the program's long term problems worse, but many believe it represents a first step toward undermining the program's fundamental goals.

Scale can create value for shareholders; for consumers, who are beneficiaries of better products, delivered more quickly and at less cost; for the businesses that are our customers; and for the economy as a whole.
规模可以为股东创造价值;对消费者来说，他们是更好产品的受益者，交货更快，成本更低;为我们的客户提供服务;以及整个经济。
Personally, I think that for example the chemical directive in its present form does too much damage to the chemical industry - especially the medium sized businesses - and will hurt our worldwide competitiveness.
就我个人而言，我认为，例如，目前形式的化学品指令对化工行业——尤其是中型企业——造成了太大的损害，并将损害我们的全球竞争力。
Just as an individual's ability to delay gratification at a young age is a powerful predictor of future academic and professional achievement, discipline is also central to the long-run economic health of nations.
正如一个人在年轻时推迟满足的能力是未来学术和专业成就的有力预测器一样，纪律对于国家的长期经济健康也至关重要。
Years ago nobody was elected on the economic ticket. It was either the education platform, or it was health or it was other issues. It is only recently that economic values have superceded every other human value.
几年前，没有人是靠经济选票当选的。要么是教育平台，要么是健康问题，要么是其他问题。直到最近，经济价值才取代了其他一切人类价值。
If we bestow but a very little attention to the economy of the animal creation, we shall find manifest examples of premeditation, perseverance, resolution, and consumate artifice, in order to effect their purpose.
如果我们对动物创造的经济只给予很少的关注，我们就会发现明显的预谋、毅力、决心和完善技巧的例子，以便达到它们的目的。
It is easy to be pessimistic. These are extraordinarily difficult times, and the collective psyche is teetering. But we are closer to righting the wrongs that got us into this economic mess than most of us believe.
悲观是很容易的。这是一个异常艰难的时期，集体心理正在动摇。但是，我们比大多数人认为的更接近于纠正让我们陷入经济混乱的错误。
There was a real fear that a euro-zone bank might fail, that we'd have a sovereign debt problem in one of the larger European economies. That's dissipated, thanks largely to the action of the European Central Bank.
人们真正担心的是，欧元区的一家银行可能会倒闭，担心欧洲某个较大经济体会出现主权债务问题。这在很大程度上要归功于欧洲央行的行动。
