美国产业的衰退(摘译)
流水响
美国纽约州前州长斯皮策在纽约州司法部长任上时,曾因大力整顿华尔街的不法潜规则而名噪一时,当时有人预测他可能会在未来问鼎白宫。现在他因性丑闻下台后,有人仿照他的口吻写了下面这段搞笑文字,我现摘译在这里博大家一笑。
“美国联邦政府要给我们每人寄来600美元的税收回扣来刺激美国经济,但我们却为怎么花费这笔钱犯难。要是把钱花在沃尔玛超市吧,钱就会被中国人赚走了;要是把钱花在加油站吧,钱就会被阿拉伯人赚走了;要是把钱花在计算机上吧,钱就会被印度人赚走了;要是把钱花在买水果上吧,钱就会被墨西哥、洪都拉斯和危地马拉人赚走了;要是把钱花在买好车上吧,钱就会被德国人赚走了;要是花钱买没用的废物吧,钱就会被台湾人赚走了……所有这些途径都不能把钱留在美国刺激美国经济。要把钱留在美国,唯一途径就是把钱花在买女人和啤酒上,因为只有他们才是美国仅剩的本国产品了。我已经尽了自己的力,并在此感谢大家的帮助”。
--艾略特 斯皮策 (纽约州前州长)
原文:
The federal government is sending each of us a $600 rebate. If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, the money goes to China. If we spend it on gasoline it goes to the Arabs. If we buy a computer it will go to India. If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala. If we purchase a good car it will go to Germany. If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy. The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it on prostitutes and beer, since these are the only products still produced in US. I've been doing my part, and I thank you for your help!
Eliot Spitzer (former Governor, New York)
