物质财富

This work ethic may in turn help to explain Americans' material wealth. Even adjusting for purchasing-power parity, America generates more wealth per person than all but a handful of mainly oil-rich economies such as Norway.

这种工作理论，可以用来解释美国的物质财富，即使根据购买力平价法调整后，美国只逊色于几个石油储藏丰富的经济体国家产生的财富比如挪威。

Nationalism is our form of incest, is our idolatry, is our insanity·"Patriotism" is its cult·It should hardly be necessary to say, that by "patriotism" I mean that attitude which puts the own nation above humanity, above the principles of truth and justice; not the loving interest in one's own nation, which is the concern with the nation's spiritual as much as with its material welfare -- never with its power over other nations·Just as love for one individual which excludes the love for others is not love, love for one's country which is not part of one's love for humanity is not love, but idolatrous worship.

民族主义是我们的乱伦模式，是我们的偶像崇拜，是我们的疯狂。"爱国主义"是它的迷信崇拜。不必说，我所谓的"爱国主义"态度将自己的国家置于人道之上，置于正义与真理的原则之上；不是对某人自己国家的利益的热爱，这种热爱既关注国家的精神财富也关注它的物质财富——从不以强力欺凌别国。仅仅爱一个个体而排斥对他人的爱就不是爱，不把爱某人的国家作为对人道主义的热爱的组成部分就不是爱，而是偶像崇拜。

The materialcentric economy makes people as slave of wealth,who often feel the self- lose and inanition of spirit under the vanity of material wealth.

物本经济将人变成了财富的奴隶，人在物质财富急剧增长的浮华下，往往感到自我的丧失和精神的空虚。

Some even argue plausibly that this weakness may be irremediable : in any society that, like a capitalist society, seeks to become ever wealthier in material terms disproportionate rewards are bound to flow to the people who are inspumental in producing the increase in its wealth.

有些人甚至看似事理地认为这一弱点无可补救：在任何一个在物质财富方面追求更加富裕的社会中，比如说资本主义社会，比例不均衡的回报肯定要流向那些在创造财富增长的过程中提供设备的人。

Its realization signifies the obtainment, at least in theory, of material wealth combined with spiritual wealth.

美国梦的实现，理论上标志着精神财富与物质财富并驾齐驱。

At the beginning of the forum, volunteers of GPEPA presented a wonderful English playlet, the king choosing son-in-law, a romantic love story involved comparison between wealth and spiritual values. It indicates that cherishing resources can promote the development of a country and that nature is our everlasting wealth. The humorous acting and moving plots made a deep impression on the audience.

讲坛的开始，广外大"绿色先锋"环保协会的志愿者们用寓言故事的形式呈现了一部精彩的英语短剧《国王招婿》，短剧通过浪漫的爱情故事，巧妙的将物质财富和精神财富做比较，告诉人们国家因不随意浪费而长存，自然环境是永恒的财富，同时演员幽默风趣的表演、生动的故事情节给在场观众留下了深刻的印象。

The material wealth comes from a cosmos of nature variety, the Earth is one member in the solar system, the permafrost wealth mainly comes from the sun, the green plant that is on the earth passes photo-synthesis under the shine in glory of sunlight, delicate slowly producer goods wealth.

物质财富来自宇宙的自然变化，地球是太阳系里的一员，地球的财富主要来自太阳，地球上的绿色植物在阳光的照耀下，通过光合作用，微妙慢慢地生产物质财富。

Is it not tyrannical,in Pascals sense,to insist that those who excel in "sensitivity" or "the ability to express compassion" merit equal wealth with those who excel in qualities （such as "the capacity for hard work"）essential in producing wealth?

如果坚持认为，那些擅长于&敏感&和&善于表达怜悯之心&的人，应获取与那些擅长于在物质财富创造过程中所不可或缺的品质（诸如&勤奋工作的能力&）的人同等的物质财富，这按帕斯卡尔的意思，难道就不也是专制暴政吗？
