能中英慣用例句:
  • 為他作傳記的斯圖亞特曾明白指出，他的研究從一開頭所根據的就是這樣一個原則:“為促進公共福利而訂立的國傢規章大部分是多餘的，一個國傢要從落後的未開化狀態轉變到盡可能最高的進步狀態，無需什麽別的，衹需合理的租稅、公正的司法與和平。”
    Moreover, according to the explicit remarks of his biographer, Dugald Stewart, his investigations from the commencement are based upon the principle that 'most of the State regulations for the promotion of public prosperity are unnecessary, and a nation in order to be transformed from the lowest state of barbarism into a state of the highest possible prosperity needs nothing but bearable taxation, fair administration of justice, and peace.'
  • 因為歷史告訴我們，曾有許多國傢，它們的國民儘管克勤克儉，還是不能免於貧睏，有些國傢由貧窮落後的地位進入富強，有些則由富裕與幸福的狀況淪入貧睏，凡是對這樣的演變想試究一下原因的，當他聽到了勞動造成富強、怠惰造成貧睏的道理以後(其實所羅門王在亞當·斯密之前早就提出了這一點)，總是不禁要再問一下，勞動的起因是什麽，怠惰的起因又是什麽呢？
    for history teaches that whole nations have, in spite of the exertions and of the thrift of their citizens, fallen into poverty and misery. Whoever desires to know and investigate how one nation from a state of poverty and barbarism has attained to one of wealth and prosperity, and how another has fallen from a condition of wealth and well-being into one of poverty and misery, has always, after receiving the information that labour is the cause of wealth and idleness the cause of poverty (a remark which King Solomon made long before Adam Smith), to put the further question,what are the causes of labour, and what the causes of idleness?

    If Japan were not riddled with insoluble contradictions, if, for instance, she could throw in a huge force of several million or ten million men all at once, if her financial resources were several times what they are, if she had no opposition from her own people or from other countries, and if she did not pursue the barbarous policies which arouse the desperate resistance of the Chinese people, then she would be able to maintain absolute superiority and have the absolute initiative always and every where.
  • 如果國傢還沒有達到那樣的發展階段，還處於未開化或半開化狀態，它的農業生産力甚至還沒有脫離最原始情況，如果輸入國外製成品輸出原料時，仍然可以使它一年一年地發展起來，可以使它的精神力量和社會力量不斷有所啓發和增長，如果這樣的貿易關係能夠繼續下去，不致由於國外禁止輸入原料品或由於戰爭而使貿易中斷，或者如果這個農業國傢是處於熱帶的；那麽在這樣情況下輸人國與輸出國雙方的利得是均等的，也是符合於自然規律的，因為處於這樣地位的國傢，在以本國農産品交換外國工業品的影響下，比之完全依靠它自己的力量時，可以更迅速、更穩健地實現文化的發展與生産力的提高。
    If it has not yet attained that stage, and still remains in a barbarous or half-civilised state, if its agricultural power of production has not yet developed itself even from the most primitive condition, if by the importation of foreign fabrics and the exportation of raw products its prosperity nevertheless increases considerably from year to year, and its mental and social powers continue to be awakened and increased, if such commerce as it can thus carry on is not interrupted by foreign prohibition of importation of raw products, or by wars, or if the territory of the agricultural nation is situated in a tropical climate, the gain on both sides will then be equal and in conformity with the laws of nature,because under the influence of such an exchange of the native products for foreign fabrics, a nation so situated will attain to civilisation and development of its productive powers more quickly and safely than when it has to develop them entirely out of its resources.
