家园 我要说,你转的这篇译文的译者非常无耻

首先,这不是什么“Peter Schiff在美国共济会金融家高级俱乐部的演讲”,而是他2009年3月13日在Austrian Scholars Conference 2009上所作的演讲。Austrian Scholars Conference于2009年3月12到13日在阿拉巴马州的Auburn举行外链出处

第二,从内容上看,你转的这篇译文的前两段应该对应着这篇英文原文的这几段:

But the world is not going to accept this, this economy. You had Hillary Clinton from when she went over to China, a couple weeks ago, to get them, to beg them to buy our bonds.

She'd tell them, "We're all in this together." And basically this is what she tells the Chinese: "You need to take money away from your citizens and loan it to us, so we can give it to our citizens so they can use it to buy products made in your company to keep your people employed." That's the deal that we're making with them.

Now, what the Chinese should say to Clinton is, "You know what, I got a better idea. Why don't we just leave our money with our own people and then they can use the money to buy their own products. That way we get to keep our stuff."

The way it is now, we get all the stuff and all they get is the jobs. Well, what good are jobs without stuff? That's slavery.

但再往下,就不一样了:

So they're going to figure it out. And what's going to happen is they're not going to buy our bonds, and the Fed's going to start buying all the bonds, and the dollar's going to plunge. And this crisis is going to end up being a currency crisis. And when it becomes a currency crisis, then you're going to have higher consumer prices and you're going to have higher interest rates.

这段可以这样翻译:

“现在,他们正要对此(大概指前面的“让别人享受产出的工作算什么性质的工作呢?”——镭射注)加以思考。而将要发生的事情就是他们不再购买我们的债券,而美联储将会买下所有的债券,美元将会猛跌。这次危机将以一次通货膨胀危机而结束。一旦它成为了通货膨胀危机,你将会有更高的物价,和更高的利率(还贷会更加困难——镭射注)。”

从这个话中,你能看出这个所谓译文中的那种轻狂味道么?相反,我看到了他对美国人提出这样的告诫:

Now, we need to make cars. You know why we need to make cars, because there are a lot of people in China that are still on bicycles. They need cars. We should be able to make cars for them and export them. We don't need them for ourselves, because we own too many cars. We have too much everything.

(现在,我们需要造汽车。大家知道为什么吗?因为在中国,有很多人还在骑自行车。他们需要汽车。我们要能够为他们造汽车,并出口给他们。我们自己不需要这些汽车,因为我们已经有了太多的汽车。我们拥有的一切都已经太多了)
