益处

I would pass some of my time in reading, and the rest in the company of people of sense and learning, and chiefly those above me; and I would frequent the mixed companies of men and women of fashion, which, though often frivolous, yet they unbend and refresh the mind, not uselessly, because they certainly

我宁愿用一些时间读书，在其余时间则与明智博学的人为伴，他们大多胜我一筹；我宁愿常与各种时尚男女为伴，他们尽管时常轻佻，但也令人放松和精神振奋，这不无益处，因他们无疑也使人的言行举止显得优雅温和。

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。
