American economic system is organized around a basically privateenterprise,marketoriented economy in which consumers largely determine what shall be produced by spending their money in the marketplace for those goods and services that they want most. ,in the American economic system it is the demand of individual consumers,coupled with the desire of businessmen to maximize profits and the desire of individuals to maximize their ines,that together determine what shall be produced and how resources are used to produce it. ,on the other hand,producing more of a modity results in reducing its cost,this will tend to increase the supply offered by sellerproducers,which in turn will lower the price and permit more consumers to buy the product. the American economy,the concept of private property embraces not only the ownership of productive resources but also certain rights,including the right to determine the price of a productorto make a free contract with another private individual. the same time these puters record which hours are busiest and which employers are the most efficient,allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns. other mercial enterprises,from theaters to magazine publishers,from gas and electric utilities to milk processors,bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of puters. children are different in some significant way from others of the same age For these children to develop to their full adult potential,their education must be adapted to those differences. great interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens,whatever their special conditions,deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities. serves directly to assist a rapid distribution of goods at reasonable price,thereby establishing a firm home market and so making it possible to provide for export at petitive prices. from the fact that twentyseven acts of Parliament govern the terms of advertising,no regular advertiser dare promote a product that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements. its message were confined merely to information and that in itself would be difficult if not impossible to achieve,for even a detail such as the choice of the color of a shirt is subtly persuasiveadvertising wound be so boring that no one wound pay any attention. workers who gets a promotion,the student whose grades improve,the foreigner who learns a new languageall these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for there efforts. families move away from their stable munity,their friends of many years,their extended family relationships,the informal flow of information is cut off,and with it the confidence that information will be available when needed and will be trustworthy and reliable. individual now has more information available than any generation,and the task of finding that one piece of information relevant to hisorher specific problem is plicated,time——consuming,and sometimes even overwhelming. can be shared world wide through teleconferencing,and problems in dispute can be settled without the participants leaving their homes and/or jobs to travel to a distant conference site. current passion for making children pete against their classmatesoragainst the clock produces a twolayer system,in which petitive Atypes seem in some way better than their B type fellows. talking to you,your couldbe employer is deciding whether your education,your experience,and other qualifications will pay him to employ you and your “wares” and abilities must be displayed in an orderly and reasonably connected manner. Corporation will survive as a publicly funded broadcasting organization,at least for the time being,but its role,its size and its programs are now the subject of a nation wide debate in Britain. debate was launched by the Government,which invited anyone with an opinion of the BBC——including ordinary listeners and viewer to say what was goodorbad about the Corporation,and even whether they thought it was worth keeping. change met the technical requirements of the new age by engaging a large profess signal element and prevented the decline in efficiency that so monly spoiled the fortunes of family firms in the second and third generation after the energetic founders. 翻譯 ,在這種經(jīng)濟(jì)中,消費者很大程度上通過在市場上為那些他們最想要的貨品和服務(wù)付費來決定什么應(yīng)該被制造出來?! ?,在美國的經(jīng)濟(jì)體系中,個體消費者的需求與商人試圖最大化其利潤的欲望和個人想最大化其收入效用的欲望相結(jié)合,一起決定了什么應(yīng)該被制造,以及資源如何被用來制造它們?! 。绻罅恐圃炷撤N商品導(dǎo)致其成本下降,那么這就有可能增加賣方和制造商能提供的供給,而這也就會反過來降低價格并允許更多的消費者購買產(chǎn)品?! 。接胸敭a(chǎn)的概念不僅包含對生產(chǎn)資源的所有權(quán),也指其他一些特定的權(quán)利,如確定一個產(chǎn)品價格和與另一個私人個體(經(jīng)濟(jì)單位)自由簽定合同的權(quán)利?! ?,哪些員工工作效率最高,這樣就能相應(yīng)地做出人員人事安排。而且它們(計算機(jī))也能為促銷活動找到那些擁有優(yōu)先權(quán)的顧客?! ?,從劇院到雜志出版商,從公用燃?xì)怆娏υO(shè)施到牛奶處理廠,都通過計算機(jī)的使用給消費者帶來更好、更有效率的服務(wù)?! 榱俗屵@些孩子發(fā)展其全部的成人后的潛能,他們的教育必須適應(yīng)這些不同。 ,公共教育中顯示的對殘疾兒童的巨大關(guān)注表明了我們社會中的一種中強(qiáng)烈的情緒,那就是所有的公民,不管其情況有多特殊,都應(yīng)享有充分發(fā)展其能力的機(jī)會?! ?廣告)能夠直接幫助貨物以比較合理的價格被迅速分銷出去,因此可以(使公司)建立一個堅固的國內(nèi)市場,同時也使以具有競爭力的價格提供出口變得可能。 ,沒有任何一個正式的廣告商敢于推銷一種商品卻不能兌現(xiàn)其在廣告中的承諾?! 。绻@不是完全不可能達(dá)到的,也是非常難做的,因為即便是一個諸如襯衫的顏色的選擇這樣的細(xì)節(jié)都會具有微妙的說服意味,那么廣告就會如此地乏味以至于沒有人會關(guān)注它?! ?,成績進(jìn)步的學(xué)生,學(xué)會了一門新語言的外國人一一這些都是那些有可衡量的結(jié)果宋顯示其努力的人們的例證?! 。x開他們多年的朋友和擴(kuò)展的家庭關(guān)系,非正式的信息流動被切斷了,隨之而去的是對在需要時能獲得可靠和值得信賴的信息的信心?! ?,而找到與他/她的特定問題相關(guān)的那一點信息的任務(wù)不僅復(fù)雜、耗時,有時甚至令人難以招架?! 。瑢<抑R可以在全世界范圍內(nèi)被分享,而爭論的問題能夠得到解決,同時相關(guān)人員也不必離開他們的家庭或工作跑到一個遙遠(yuǎn)的開會地點?! ?,在這個結(jié)構(gòu)里面善于競爭的A類好像在某個方面要比他們B類的同輩更勝一籌。 ,可能成為你的雇主的人就一直在衡量你的教育、經(jīng)驗和其他資格是不是值得他雇用你,而你的“商品”和能力一定要以一種有條不紊而且合情合理的相互關(guān)聯(lián)的方式被展示出來?! 。辽倌壳皶@樣,但是它的角色、它的規(guī)模和它的節(jié)目現(xiàn)在在英國成了全國上下的討論話題?! ?,政府請任何一個對英國廣播公司有意見的人一包括普通的聽眾和觀眾一來說說這個公司好在哪里或壞在哪里,甚至要說說他們是否認(rèn)為這個公司值得被保留下來。 ,并且它(這種變化)防止了效率的降低。這種效率的降低在精力充沛的創(chuàng)業(yè)者之后的第二代和第三代人(領(lǐng)導(dǎo)公司)的時候,經(jīng)常會毀掉那些家族公司的財富。21.
