本伯南克2013普林斯顿(7)

Little formal schooling but labor honestly and diligently to help feed, clothe, and educate their families are deserving of greater respect– and help, if necessary–

接受过很少正规教育 但诚实和勤恳劳动 为家人提供食物 衣服 教育的人 比很多表面上成功的人

Than many people who are superficially more successful They're more fun to have a beer with That's all that I know about sociology

更值得我们尊敬和帮助 同他们一起喝啤酒肯定也会更有趣 社会学在我看来不过是喝啤酒而已

5 Since I have covered what I know about sociology I might as well say something about political science as well

五 既然提到了社会学 我想我也应该讲讲政治学

In regard to politics, I have always liked Lily Tomlin's line in paraphrase "I try to be cynical, but I just can't keep up"

就政治而言 我一直喜欢莉莉.汤姆林的话 我转述一下 "我尝试过愤世嫉俗 但却总坚持不下去"

We all feel that way sometimes Actually, having been in Washington now for almost 11 years as I mentioned, I feel that way quite a bit

我们有时都会有这种感觉 实际上 在华盛顿待了将近11年的我 经常会有这种感觉

Ultimately, though, cynicism is a poor substitute for critical thought and constructive action Sure, interests and money and ideology all matter

最终 愤世嫉俗不过是 批判性思想和建设性行动的糟糕替代品 当然 利益 金钱 意识形态都很重要

As you learned in political science But my experience is that most of our politicians and policymakers

如你们在政治学中所学的那样 但我的感受却是 我们的大多数政界人士和政策制定者

Are trying to do the right thing according to their own views and consciences, most of the time If you think that the bad or indifferent results that too often come out of Washington

大多数时候 都在尝试 凭着自己的观点和良心 做正确的事 如果你认为华盛顿政策经常都没有好的结果

Are due to base motives and bad intentions you are giving politicians and policymakers way too much credit for being effective

是因为他们的动机和不良企图 那你就太看得起政界人士和政策制定者们 所起的作用了
