||1: “How Much Is Enough?” and “What Money Can’t Buy” are well-argued versions of this second view. ||2: In the former, Robert and Edward Skidelsky, a father-and-son pair of British academics, take as their text an essay written in 1930 by John Maynard Keynes. ||3: Keynes (of whom the elder Skidelsky has written a three-volume biography) mused that within a century “the economic problem” would be solved: in rich countries people would be at least four times wealthier, on average, and have to work perhaps 15 hours a week. ||4: He looks right about living standards, but horribly wrong about working hours.

||1:《多少才算够？》和《钱买不到的东西》这两本书，雄辩地论证了上面所说的第二种观点。||2:前一本书的作者是英国父子学者罗伯特·斯科德尔斯基和爱德华·斯科德尔斯基。他们在书中从约翰·梅纳德·凯因斯在1930年写的一篇论文说起（罗伯特·斯科德尔斯基曾写过三卷本的凯恩斯传记）。||3:凯恩斯在那篇论文文中预言，不出一百年，“经济问题”将不成其为问题。在富裕国家中，人们的财富将增加三倍，平均每周将只工作15小时。||4:他对生活水平的预言看来是对的，但对工作时间的预言却大错特错了。

||1:《多少钱才算够？》和《钱财所不能买》两本书对第二种观点进行很好的论证。||2:罗伯特·斯基德尔斯基和爱德华·斯基德尔斯基两人是英国大学教师，父子二人合作共同写成《多少钱才算够？》此书。||3:新书以约翰·梅纳德·凯恩斯于1930年写的一篇论文为背景（老斯基德尔斯基曾为凯恩斯写过一部三卷的传记）。凯恩斯猜想一百年以内“经济问题”将会得以解决，富国人民至少富裕四倍；平均下来，每周大概只需工作15个小时。||4:对于生活水平，凯恩斯是猜对了，但是对于工作时间，凯恩斯却是大错特错。

||1:Those rising rents make buying a bargain: as attractive as it has been for three decades, according to the National Association of Realtors’ index of housing affordability.||2:Stocks of homes for sale are falling as investors snap up and convert vacant homes for renting out.||3:Were it practical, mused Warren Buffett recently, he would buy up “a couple of hundred thousand” homes.

||1: In one of his weekly online columns he mused on the beauty of mountains, where God had revealed himself to Moses and Elijah had challenged the false prophets of Baal. ||2: A blogger or two pointed out that the lopped-off, naked mountains in the south of his state owed much to Mr Byrd’s votes for uninhibited mining. ||3: He was unrepentant. Mining brought jobs, and burning coal kept America going. ||4: The people powered America; the Senate was the people’s house; and the man who preserved the Senate, in all its glory and prodigality and arcane complexity, was Robert C. Byrd, King of Pork and senator senatorum.

||1:有一次，在他的每周线上论坛上，他赞叹山的壮丽，上帝就是在山上向摩西展示真身，而以利亚也是在山上挑战巴力神的假先知的。||2:几位博客作家指出，他们南方家乡的斑驳光秃的山都归咎于伯德对无限制采矿的支持。||3:他却并不后悔。采矿带来工作，而燃煤保障美国的前进。||4:人民赋予美国力量；参议院是人民的议院；而保护参议院所有的荣光，奢侈和深不可测的那个人，正是猪肉王，参议员中的参议员，罗伯特·C·伯德。
