At Berkshire, wanting our fees to be meaningless to our directors, we pay them only a pittance. Additionally, not wanting to insulate our directors from any corporate disaster we might have, we don't provide them with officers' and directors' liability insurance (an unorthodoxy that, not so incidentally, has saved our shareholders many millions of dollars over the years). Basically, we want the behavior of our directors to be driven by the effect their decisions will have on their family'snet worth, not by their compensation. That's the equation for Charlie and me as managers, and we think it's the right one for Berkshire directors as well.

在伯克希尔，为了避免董事报酬占其个人收入的比例太高，我们仅象征性地支付一点报酬，此外为了不让董事们规避公司发生重大经营意外的风险，我们也不提供董事经理人责任保险(虽然这在一般公司并非常态，但每年却也为公司节省了好几百万美元的保险费用)，基本上，我们希望董事们的行为想法跟在处理自家财务一般小心谨慎，而不只是着眼于董事报酬，这跟查理与我本人在身为伯克希尔经营者的心态一致，我们这样的做法同样也适用于伯克希尔的董事们。

If regulators believe that "significant" money taints independence, they have overlooked a massive class of possible offenders. At Berkshire, wanting our fees to be meaningless to our directors, we pay them only a pittance.

Any change we make in the composition of our board will not alter the way Charlie and I run 的，一位收入普通相当依赖董事酬劳，而且亟欲受邀担任其它公司董事以获取更多董事报酬的人，他很有可能不敢斗胆冒犯 CEO 或其它董事成员，因为后者对于前者在公司业界的名声有相当大的影响力，而如果管理当局相信高额金钱会影响到独立性，那么他们很有可能错过了一大群真正敢发出声音的人。

Charlie and I, it should be emphasized, believe that true trade – that is, the exchange of goods and services with other countries – is enormously beneficial for both us and them. Last year we had $1.15 trillion of such honest-to-God trade and the more of this, the better. But, as noted, our country also purchased an additional $618 billion in goods and services from the rest of the world that was unreciprocated. That is a staggering figure and one that has important consequences.

当然必须强调的是，查理跟我都相信，真正的贸易，也就是与他国交换货物与服务的行为，对于彼此都有相当大的益处，去年光是这类的贸易总额就达1.15兆美元，但除此之外，我们另外又向外国多采购了6，180亿美元的产品与服务，这笔居高不下的数字将引发严重的后果。

Institutional dynamics, not venality or stupidity, set businesses on these courses, which are too often misguided.

Furthermore, Charlie and I have attempted to concentrate our investments in companies that appear alert to the problem.

是组织的动力而非腐败或愚蠢，误导他们走上这些路子，也因为我忽略了这种规律的力量，使我为这些所犯的错误付出高昂的代价，之后我便试图组织管理伯克希尔尽量让这种规律降低其影响程度，同时查理跟我也试着将我们的投资集中在对于这种问题有相当警觉的公司之上。
