Ladies and gentlemen, it has been publicly announced that the White House orders of the Roosevelt administration have declared war on HUEY LONG.
女士们、先生们，已经公开宣布，罗斯福政府的白宫命令已向休伊朗宣战。
The late and lamented, the pampered ex-crown prince, Gen.
已故且令人遗憾的是，受宠若惊的前王储将军。

休·S。
Johnson, one of those satellites loaned by Wall Street to run the Government, and who, at the end of his control over and dismissal from the NRA, pronounced it "as dead as a dodo", this Mr. Johnson was apparently selected to make the lead-off speech in this White House charge begun last Monday night.
约翰逊是华尔街借用来管理政府的卫星之一，在他控制全国步枪协会并被其解职后，他宣称全国步枪协会“像渡渡鸟一样死了”，这位约翰逊先生显然被选为上周一晚上开始的白宫指控中的开场演讲。
The Johnson speech was followed by more fuss and fury on behalf of the administration by spellbinders in and out of Congress.
约翰逊演讲之后，国会内外的迷惑者代表政府引发了更多的大惊小怪和愤怒。
In a far-away island, when a queen dies, her first favorite is done the honor to be buried alive with her.
在一个遥远的岛屿上，当女王去世时，她最喜欢的人会很荣幸地被活埋在她身边。
The funeral procession of the NRA (another one of these new-deal schisms or isms) is about ready to occur.
全国步枪协会（又一个新政分裂或主义）的送葬队伍即将举行。
It is said that General Johnson's speech of Monday night to attack me was delivered on the eve of announcing the publication of his obituary in the Red Book Magazine.
据说，约翰逊将军星期一晚上攻击我的讲话是在《红皮书》杂志宣布发表他的讣告的前夕发表的。
Seems then that soon this erstwhile prince of the deranged alphabet makes ready to appear at the funeral of NRA like unto the colored lady in Mississippi who there asserted: "I is de wife of dese remains."
看来很快这位昔日的疯狂字母王子就准备出现在全国步枪协会的葬礼上，就像密西西比州的有色女士那样，她在那里断言：“我是这些遗骸的妻子。”
I shall undertake to cover my main subject and make answer to these gentlemen in the course of this speech tonight.
我将在今晚的演讲中回答这些先生们的主要问题。
It will serve no purpose to our distressed people for me to call my opponents more bitter names than they call me.
我对我的对手的辱骂比他们对我的辱骂更严厉，这对我们受苦受难的人民来说是没有任何意义的。
Even were I able, I have not the time to present my side of the argument and match them in billingsgate or profanity.
即使我有能力，我也没有时间表达我的观点并用比林斯盖特或脏话与他们相匹配。
What is this trouble with this administration of Mr. [Franklin D.] Roosevelt, Mr. [Hugh S.] Johnson, Mr. [James A.] Farley,l Mr. [Vincent] Astor, and all their spoilers and spellbinders?
[富兰克林·D.]罗斯福先生、[休·S.]约翰逊先生、[詹姆斯·A.]法利先生、[文森特]阿斯特先生以及他们所有的破坏者和迷惑者的本届政府到底出了什么问题？
They think that HUEY LONG is the cause of all their worry.
他们认为休伊朗是他们所有忧虑的根源。
They go gunning for me.
他们向我开枪。
But, am I the cause of their misery?
但是，我是他们痛苦的根源吗？
They are like old Davy Crockett, who went out to hunt a possum.
他们就像老戴维·克罗克特一样，出去猎负鼠。
He saw in the gleam of the moonlight that a possum in the top of a tree was going from limb to limb.
他借着月光看见一只负鼠在树顶上从一根树枝走到另一根树枝。
He shot and missed.
他开枪但没击中。
He saw the possum again.
他又看到了负鼠。
He fired a second time and missed again.
他第二次开枪，但再次失手。
Soon he discovered that it was not a possum he saw at all in the top of that tree.
很快他就发现那根本不是他在那棵树顶上看到的负鼠。
It was a louse in his own eyebrow.
那是他自己眉毛上的一只虱子。
I do not make this illustration to do discredit to any of these gentlemen.
我做这个例证并不是为了抹黑这些先生们中的任何一位。
I make it to show how often we imagine we see great trouble being done to us by someone at a distance, when, in reality, all of it may be a fault in our own make-up.
我这样做是为了表明，我们经常想象自己看到远方的某个人给我们带来了很大的麻烦，而实际上，这一切可能都是我们自己的缺陷造成的。
The trouble with the Roosevelt administration is that when their schemes and isms have failed, these things I told them not to do and voted not to do, that they think it will help them to light out on those of us who warned them in the beginning that the tangled messes and noble experiments would not work.
罗斯福政府的麻烦在于，当他们的计划和主义失败时，我告诉他们不要做并投票不做的这些事情，他们认为这将帮助他们摆脱我们这些一开始警告他们的人，混乱的混乱和崇高的实验不会奏效。
The Roosevelt administration has had its way for two years.
罗斯福政府已经实行了两年。
They have been allowed to set up or knock down anything and everybody.
他们被允许设置或摧毁任何东西和任何人。
There was one difference between [Herbert] Hoover and Roosevelt.
[赫伯特]胡佛和罗斯福之间有一个区别。
Hoover could not get the Congress to carry out the schemes he wanted to try.
胡佛无法让国会实施他想要尝试的计划。
We managed to lick him on a roll call in the United States Senate time after time.
我们一次又一次地在美国参议院点名时成功地击败了他。
But, different with Mr. Roosevelt.
但是，罗斯福先生则不同。
He got his plans through Congress.
他的计划通过了国会。
But on cold analysis they were found to be the same things Hoover tried to pass and failed.
但冷分析后发现，它们与胡佛试图通过但失败的事情是一样的。
The kitchen cabinet that sat in to advise Hoover was not different from the kitchen cabinet which advised Roosevelt.
为胡佛提供建议的厨房橱柜与为罗斯福提供建议的厨房橱柜没有什么不同。
Many of the persons are the same.
很多人都是一样的。
Many of those in Roosevelt's kitchen cabinet are of the same men or set of men who furnished employees to sit in the kitchen cabinet to advise Hoover.
罗斯福厨房柜子里的许多人都属于同一个人或一群人，他们曾安排员工坐在厨房柜子里为胡佛提供建议。
Maybe you see a little change in the man waiting on the tables, but back in the kitchen the same set of cooks are fixing up the victuals for us that cooked up the mess under Hoover.
也许你会看到餐桌上的服务员发生了一些变化，但回到厨房，同一组厨师正在为我们准备食物，而他们在胡佛的领导下把饭菜弄得一团糟。
Why, do you think this Roosevelt's plan for plowing up cotton, corn, and wheat; and for pouring milk in the river, and for destroying and burying hogs and cattle by the millions, all while people starve and go naked -- do you think those plans were the original ideas of this Roosevelt administration?
为什么，你认为这是罗斯福耕种棉花、玉米和小麦的计划？把牛奶倒进河里，毁掉和埋葬数以百万计的生猪和牛，而人们却挨饿、赤身裸体——你认为这些计划是罗斯福政府的最初想法吗？
If you do, you are wrong.
如果你这样做了，那你就错了。
The whole idea of that kind of thing first came from Hoover's administration.
这种事情的整个想法首先来自胡佛政府。
Don't you remember when Mr. Hoover proposed to plow up every fourth row of cotton?
你不记得胡佛先生提议犁掉每四行棉花吗？
We laughed him into scorn.
我们嘲笑他。
President Roosevelt flayed him for proposing such a thing in the speech which he made from the steps of the capitol in Topeka, Kans.
罗斯福总统在堪斯州托皮卡国会大厦台阶上发表的演讲中批评了他提出的这一建议。
And so we beat Mr. Hoover on his plan.
因此我们在胡佛先生的计划上击败了他。
But when Mr. Roosevelt started on his plan, it was not to plow up every fourth row of cotton as Hoover tried to do.
但当罗斯福先生开始实施他的计划时，他并没有像胡佛那样，将每四行棉花犁掉一次。
Roosevelt's plan was to plow up every third row of cotton, just one-twelfth more cotton to be plowed up than Hoover proposed.
罗斯福的计划是每三行犁一次棉花，仅比胡佛提议的棉花多十二分之一。
Roosevelt succeeded in his plan.
罗斯福的计划成功了。
So it has been that while millions have starved and gone naked; so it has been that while babies have cried and died for milk; so it has been that while people have begged for meat and bread, Mr. Roosevelt's administration has sailed merrily along, plowing under and destroying the things to eat and to wear, with tear-dimmed eyes and hungry souls made to chant for this new deal so that even their starvation dole is not taken away, and meanwhile the food and clothes craved by their bodies and souls go for destruction and ruin.
事实就是这样，尽管数百万人挨饿、赤身露体；因此，当婴儿因牛奶而哭闹或死亡时，情况就是如此。因此，当人们乞求肉和面包时，罗斯福先生的政府却在快乐地航行，犁地和毁坏吃的和穿的东西，泪水模糊的眼睛和饥饿的灵魂被迫呼喊这项新政，这样他们的饥饿救济金就不会被夺走，同时他们的身体和灵魂所渴望的食物和衣服却遭到破坏和毁灭。
What is it?
它是什么？
Is it government?
是政府吗？
Maybe so.
也许是这样。
It looks more like St. Vitus dance.
它看起来更像是圣维特舞蹈。
Now, since they sallied forth with General Johnson to start the war on me, let us take a look at this NRA that they opened up around here two years ago.
现在，既然他们与约翰逊将军一起向我发动战争，让我们看看两年前他们在这里开设的全国步枪协会。
They had parades and Fascist signs just as Hitler, and Mussolini.
就像希特勒和墨索里尼一样，他们也有游行和法西斯标语。
They started the dictatorship here to regiment business and labor much more than anyone did in Germany or Italy.
他们在这里开始了独裁统治，对商业和劳动力的管制比德国或意大利的任何人都要多。
The only difference was in the sign.
唯一的区别在于标志。
Italy's sign of the Fascist was a black shirt.
意大利法西斯的标志是黑色衬衫。
Germany's sign of the Fascist was a swastika.
德国法西斯的标志是纳粹党徽。
So in America they sidetracked the Stars and Stripes, and the sign of the Blue Eagle was used instead.
因此，在美国，他们偏离了星条旗的方向，而是使用了蓝鹰的标志。
And they proceeded with the NRA.
他们继续与全国步枪协会合作。
Everything from a peanut stand to a power house had to have a separate book of rules and laws to regulate what they did.
从花生摊到发电厂，所有东西都必须有一本单独的规则和法律书来规范他们的行为。
If a peanut stand started to parch a sack of goobers for sale, they had to be careful to go through the rule book.
如果一个花生摊开始烘烤一袋花生来出售，他们就必须仔细阅读规则手册。
One slip and he went to jail.
一失足，他就进了监狱。
A little fellow w ho pressed a pair of pants went to jail because he charged 5 cents under the price set in the rule book.
一个熨裤子的小伙子因为比规则书上规定的价格低了5美分而入狱。
So they wrote their NRA rule book, codes, laws, etc. They got up over 900 of them.
因此他们编写了 NRA 规则手册、守则、法律等。他们制定了 900 多本。
One would be as thick as an unabridged dictionary and as confusing as a study of the stars.
它就像一本未删节的字典一样厚，又像一本关于星星的研究一样令人困惑。
It would take 40 lawyers to tell a shoe-shine stand how to operate and be certain he didn't go to jail.
需要 40 名律师才能告诉擦鞋摊如何经营并确保他不会入狱。
Some people came to me for advice, as a lawyer, on how to run business.
作为一名律师，有些人向我寻求如何经营业务的建议。
I took several days and then couldn't understand it myself.
我花了几天时间，然后自己也无法理解。
The only thing I could tell them was that it couldn't be much worse in jail than it was out of jail with that kind of thing going on in the country, and so to go on and do the best they could.
我唯一能告诉他们的是，在国内发生这种事情，监狱里的情况不会比监狱外更糟糕，所以要继续尽力而为。
The whole thing of Mr. Roosevelt, as run under General Johnson, became such a national scandal that Roosevelt had to let Johnson slide out as the scapegoat.
约翰逊将军领导下的罗斯福先生的整个事件已经成为全国性的丑闻，罗斯福不得不让约翰逊成为替罪羊。
Let them call for an NRA parade tomorrow and you couldn't get enough people to form a funeral march.
让他们号召全国步枪协会明天举行游行，但你却找不到足够的人来参加葬礼游行。
It was under this NRA and the other funny alphabetical combinations which followed it that we ran the whole country into a mares nest.
正是在这个全国步枪协会和随之而来的其他有趣的字母组合的统治下，我们把整个国家变成了一个母马巢穴。
The Farleys and Johnsons combed the land with agents, inspectors, supervisors, detectives, secretaries, assistants, etc., all armed with the power to arrest and send to jail whomever they found not living up to some rule in one of these 900 catalogs.
法利家族和约翰逊家族派出了特工、检查员、主管、侦探、秘书、助理等人员对这片土地进行了彻底搜查，他们都有权逮捕任何不遵守这 900 份目录中某一项规定的人，并将其送进监狱。
One man whose case reached the Supreme Court of the United States was turned loose because they couldn't even find the rule he was supposed to have violated in a search throughout the United States.
一名男子的案件提交到美国最高法院，但被释放，因为他们在全美各地的搜查中甚至找不到他本应违反的规定。
And now it is with PWA's, CWA's, NRA's, AAA's, J-UG's, G-IN's, and every other flimsy combination that the country finds its affairs and business tangled to where no one can recognize it.
现在，正是 PWA、CWA、NRA、AAA、J-UG、G-IN 以及其他每一种脆弱的组合，让这个国家的事务和业务纠缠在一起，没有人能够认出它。
More men are now out of work than ever; the debt of the United States has gone up another $10 billion.
现在失业的人数比以往任何时候都多。美国的债务又增加了100亿美元。
There is starvation; there is homelessness; there is misery on every hand and corner, but mind you, in the meantime, Mr. Roosevelt has had his way.
有饥饿；无家可归；每个角落都有苦难，但请注意，与此同时，罗斯福先生已经达到了他的目的。
He is one man that can't blame any of his troubles on HUEY LONG.
他是一个不能将自己的任何麻烦归咎于休伊·朗的人。
He has had his way.
他已经有他的办法了。
Down in my part of the country if any man has the measles he blames that on me; but there is one man that can't blame anything on anybody but himself, and that is Mr. Franklin De-La-No Roosevelt.
在我所在的地区，如果有人得了麻疹，他就会把责任归咎于我；但有一个人不能把任何事情归咎于任何人，除了他自己，那就是富兰克林·德拉·诺·罗斯福先生。
And now, on top of that, they order war on me because nearly 4 years ago I told Hoover's crowd it wouldn't do and because 3 years ago I told Roosevelt and his crowd it wouldn't do.
现在，最重要的是，他们对我下令发动战争，因为大约四年前我告诉胡佛的支持者这是不行的，因为三年前我告诉罗斯福和他的支持者这是不行的。
In other words, they are in a rage at HUEY LONG because I have said, "I told you so."
换句话说，他们对休伊朗感到愤怒，因为我说过，“我告诉过你了。”
I am not overstating the conditions now prevailing in this country.
我并没有夸大这个国家目前的状况。
In their own words they have confessed all I now say or ever have said.
他们用自己的话承认了我现在所说的或曾经说过的一切。
Mr. Roosevelt and even Mrs. Roosevelt have bewailed the fact that food, clothes, and shelter have not been provided for the people.
罗斯福先生甚至罗斯福夫人都为人民没有得到食物、衣服和住所而哀叹。
Even Gen.
甚至将军。

Johnson said in his speech of Monday night that there are 80 million people in America who are badly hurt or wrecked by this depression.
约翰逊在周一晚上的讲话中表示，美国有 8000 万人因这次萧条而受到严重伤害或破坏。
Mr. Harry Hopkins, who runs the relief work, says the dole roll has risen now to 22,375,000 persons, the highest it has ever been.
负责救援工作的哈利·霍普金斯 (Harry Hopkins) 先生表示，目前发放的救济金已增至 22,375,000 人，为历史最高水平。
And now, what is there for the Roosevelt crowd to do but to admit the facts and admit further that they are now on their third year, making matters worse instead of better all the time?
现在，罗斯福的支持者除了承认事实并进一步承认他们已经进入第三个年头，让事情变得更糟而不是一直变得更好之外，还能做什么呢？
No one is to blame, except them, for what is going on because they have had their way.
除了他们之外，没有人应该为所发生的事情负责，因为他们已经为所欲为。
And if they couldn't change the thing in over two years, now bogged down worse than ever, how could anyone expect any good of them hereafter?
如果他们在两年多的时间里都无法改变现状，现在陷入的困境比以往任何时候都更严重，那么以后怎么会有人指望他们有什么好处呢？
God save us two more years of the disaster we have had under that gang.
愿上帝保佑我们再免遭该团伙统治下的灾难两年。
Now, my friends, when this condition of distress and suffering among so many millions of our people began to develop in the Hoover administration, we knew then what the trouble was and what we would have to do to correct it.
现在，我的朋友们，当胡佛政府开始在我们数以百万计的人民中造成这种痛苦和苦难时，我们就知道问题是什么，以及我们必须采取什么措施来纠正它。
I was the first man to say publicly -- but Mr. Roosevelt followed in my tracks a few months later and said the same thing.
我是第一个公开这么说的人，但几个月后罗斯福先生也追随我的脚步，说了同样的话。
We said that all of our trouble and woe was due to the fact that too few of our people owned too much of our wealth.
我们说过，我们所有的麻烦和不幸都是由于我们的人民太少而拥有太多的财富。
We said that in our land, with too much to eat, and too much to wear, and too many houses to live in, too many automobiles to be sold, that the only trouble was that the people suffered in the land of abundance because too few controlled the money and the wealth and too many did not have money with which to buy the things they needed for life and comfort.
我们说，在我们的土地上，吃的太多，穿的太多，房子住的太多，汽车卖的太多，唯一的麻烦是天府之国的人民受苦，因为控制金钱和财富的人太少，而太多人没有钱购买生活和舒适所需的东西。
So I said to the people of the United States in my speeches which I delivered in the United States Senate in the early part of 1932 that the only way by which we could restore our people to reasonable life and comfort was to limit the size of the big man's fortune and guarantee some minimum to the fortune and comfort of the little man's family.
因此，我在 1932 年初在美国参议院发表的演讲中对美国人民说，我们能让我们的人民恢复合理生活和舒适的唯一方法是限制大人物的财富规模，并保证小人物家庭的财富和舒适的最低限度。
I said then, as I have said since, that it was inhuman to have food rotting, cotton and wool going to waste, houses empty, and at the same time to have millions of our people starving, naked, and homeless because they could not buy the things which other men had and for which they had no use whatever.
我当时说过，正如我此后说过的那样，食物腐烂，棉花和羊毛被浪费，房屋空荡荡，同时我们的数以百万计的人民因为买不到别人拥有的、他们没有任何用处的东西而挨饿、赤身露体、无家可归，这是不人道的。
So we convinced Mr. Franklin Delano Roosevelt that it was necessary that he announce and promise to the American people that in the event he were elected President of the United States he would pull down the size of the big man's fortune and guarantee something to every family -- enough to do away with all poverty and to give employment to those who were able to work and education to the children born into the world.
因此，我们说服富兰克林·德拉诺·罗斯福先生，他有必要向美国人民宣布并向他们承诺，如果他当选美国总统，他将减少这位大人物的财富规模，并保证每个家庭都能得到一些东西——足以消除所有贫困，为那些有能力工作的人提供就业机会，并为出生在这个世界上的孩子提供教育。
Mr. Roosevelt made those promises; he made them before he was nominated in the Chicago convention.
罗斯福先生做出了这些承诺；他在芝加哥大会上获得提名之前就制作了它们。
He made them again before he was elected in November, and he went so far as to remake those promises after he was inaugurated President of the United States.
他在 11 月当选之前再次做出了这些承诺，甚至在就任美国总统后再次做出了这些承诺。
And I thought for a day or two after he took the oath as President, that maybe he was going through with his promises.
在他宣誓就任总统后的一两天里，我想，也许他正在兑现他的承诺。
No heart was ever so saddened; no person's ambition was ever so blighted, as was mine when I came to the realization that the President of the United States was not going to undertake what he had said he would do, and what I know to be necessary if the people of America were ever saved from calamity and misery.
没有一颗心如此悲伤；没有人的雄心像我一样受到如此挫败，当我意识到美国总统不会采取他所说的他会做的事情时，以及我知道如果美国人民能够摆脱灾难和苦难所必需的事情。
So now, my friends, I come to that point where I must in a few sentences describe to you just what was the cause of our trouble which became so serious in 1929, and which has been worse ever since.
所以现在，我的朋友们，我必须用几句话向你们描述我们的麻烦的原因是什么，这个麻烦在 1929 年变得如此严重，并且自那以后变得更加严重。
The wealth in the United States was three times as much in 1910 as it was in 1890, and yet the masses of our people owned less in 1910 than they did in 1890.
1910年美国的财富是1890年的三倍，但我们人民群众在1910年拥有的财富却比1890年少。
In the year 1916 the condition had become so bad that a committee provided for by the Congress of the United States reported that 2 percent of the people in the United States owned 60 percent of the wealth in the country, and that 65 percent of the people owned less than 5 percent of the wealth.
1916年，情况变得如此糟糕，以至于美国国会设立的一个委员会报告称，美国2%的人拥有该国60%的财富，而65%的人拥有该国不到5%的财富。
This report showed, however, that there was a middle class -- some 33 percent of the people -- who owned 35 percent of the wealth.
然而，这份报告显示，中产阶级（约占总人口的 33%）拥有 35% 的财富。
This report went on to say that the trouble with the American people at that time was that too much of the wealth was in the hands of too few of the people, and recommended that something be done to correct the evil condition then existing.
这篇报道接着说，当时美国人民的问题是太多的财富掌握在太少的人手中，并建议采取一些措施来纠正当时存在的邪恶状况。
It was at about the same time that many of our publications began to deplore the fact that so few people owned so much and that so many people owned so little.
大约在同一时间，我们的许多出版物开始对这样一个事实表示遗憾：很少有人拥有如此多的财富，而很多人拥有的却如此之少。
Among those commenting upon that situation was the Saturday Evening Post, which, in an issue of September 23, 1916, said:
《周六晚邮报》对这种情况发表了评论，该报在 1916 年 9 月 23 日的一期中写道：
Along one statistical line you can figure out a Nation bustling with wealth; along another a bloated plutocracy comprising 1 percent of the population lording it over a starving horde with only a thin margin of merely well-to-do in between.
沿着一条统计线，你可以看出一个充满财富的国家；另一种是由占人口 1% 的臃肿财阀统治着饥饿的部落，中间只有微弱的富裕阶层。
And it was, as the Saturday Evening Post and the committee appointed by Congress said, it was a deplorable thing back in 1916, when it was found that 2 percent of the people owned twice as much as all of the remainder of the people put together, and that 65 percent of all of our people owned practically nothing.
正如《周六晚邮报》和国会指定的委员会所言，这在 1916 年是一件令人遗憾的事情，当时发现 2% 的人拥有的财产是其余所有人加起来的两倍，而 65% 的人几乎一无所有。
But what did we do to correct that condition?
但我们做了什么来纠正这种情况呢？
Instead of moving to take these big fortunes from the top and spreading them among the suffering people at the bottom, the financial masters of America moved in to take complete charge of the Government for fear our lawmakers might do something along that line.
美国的金融大师们并没有从上层夺走这些巨额财富，并将其散布给底层受苦受难的人们，而是完全接管了政府，因为他们担心我们的立法者可能会采取类似的行动。
And as a result, 14 years after the report of 1916, the Federal Trade Commission made a study to see how the wealth of this land was distributed, and did they find it still as bad as it was in 1916?
结果，在1916年的报告发布14年后，联邦贸易委员会做了一项研究，看看这片土地上的财富是如何分配的，他们发现它还像1916年那样糟糕吗？
They found it worse!
他们发现情况更糟！
They found that 1 percent of the people owned about 59 percent of the wealth, which was almost twice as bad as what was said to be an intolerable condition in 1916, when 2 percent of the people owned 60 percent of the wealth.
他们发现，1%的人拥有约59%的财富，这几乎比1916年所谓的无法忍受的情况糟糕一倍，当时2%的人拥有60%的财富。
And as a result of foreclosures, failures, and bankruptcies, which began to happen prior to and in the year of 1929, before the campaign of 1932, and at this late date, it is the estimate of all conservative statisticians that 75 percent of the people in the United States don't own anything, that is, not enough to pay their debts, and that 4 percent of the people, or maybe less than 4 percent of the people, own from 85 to 90 percent of all our wealth in the United States.
由于取消抵押品赎回权、倒闭和破产，这些现象在 1929 年之前和 1932 年竞选之前就开始发生，而且到了现在，据所有保守派统计学家估计，75% 的美国人一无所有，也就是说，不足以偿还债务，而 4% 的人，或者可能不到 4% 的人，拥有 85 至 85 岁的房产。我们90%的财富都在美国。
Remember, in 1916 there was a middle class -- 33 percent of the people -- who owned 35 percent of the wealth.
请记住，1916 年有一个中产阶级——占总人口的 33%——拥有 35% 的财富。
That middle class is practically gone today.
今天，那个中产阶级实际上已经消失了。
It no longer exists.
它不再存在了。
They have dropped into the ranks of the poor.
他们已经跌入穷人的行列了。
The thriving man of independent business standing is fast fading.
独立商业地位蒸蒸日上的人正在迅速衰落。
The corner grocery store is becoming a thing of the past.
街角杂货店正在成为过去。
Concentrated chain-merchandise and banking systems have laid waste to all middle opportunity.
集中的连锁商品和银行系统浪费了所有中间机会。
That "thin margin of merely well-to-do in between" which the Saturday Evening Post mentioned on September 23, 1916, has dwindled to practically no margin of well-to-do in between.
1916 年 9 月 23 日《周六晚邮报》提到的“贫富差距微乎其微”，现在已经缩小到几乎没有贫富差距。
Those suffering on the bottom and the few lords of finance on the top are nearly all that are left.
那些底层的受苦者和顶层的少数金融大亨几乎就剩下了。
It became apparent that the billionaires and multimillionaires even began to squeeze out the common millionaires, closing in and taking their properties and wrecking their businesses.
很明显，亿万富翁和千万富翁甚至开始排挤普通百万富翁，围攻并夺走他们的财产，破坏他们的生意。
And so we arrived (and are still there) at the place that in abundant America where we have everything for which a human heart can pray, the hundreds of millions -- or, as General Johnson says, the 80 million -- of our people are crying in misery for the want of the things which they need for life, notwithstanding the fact that the country has had and can have more than the entire human race can consume.
因此，我们到达了（并且仍然在那里）这样一个地方：在富裕的美国，我们拥有人类心灵可以祈祷的一切，我们的数亿——或者，正如约翰逊将军所说，8000万——我们的人民正在痛苦地哭泣，因为缺乏他们生活所需的东西，尽管事实上这个国家已经并且可以拥有超过整个人类可以消费的东西。
The 125 million people of America have seated themselves at the barbecue table to consume the products which have been guaranteed to them by their Lord and Creator.
1.25 亿美国人民已经坐在烧烤桌前，享用他们的主和造物主向他们保证的产品。
There is provided by the Almighty what it takes for them all to eat; yea, more.
全能的真主提供了他们所有人所需的食物；是的，更多。
There is provided more than what is needed for all to eat.
提供的食物超出了所有人的饮食需要。
But the financial masters of America have taken off the barbecue table 90 percent of the food placed thereon by God, through the labors of mankind, even before the feast begins, and there is left on that table to be eaten by 125 million people less than should be there for 10 million of them.
但美国的金融大师们甚至在盛宴开始之前就已经把上帝通过人类劳动放在烧烤桌上的食物的百分之九十拿走了，餐桌上留给1.25亿人吃的食物比其中1000万人应该吃的少了。
What has become of the remainder of those things placed on the table by the Lord for the use of us all?
主摆在桌子上供我们大家使用的其余东西现在怎么样了？
They are in the hands of the Morgans, the Rockefellers, the Mellons, the Baruches, the Bakers, the Astors, and the Vanderbilts -- 600 families at the most either possessing or controlling the entire 90 percent of all that is in America.
它们掌握在摩根家族、洛克菲勒家族、梅隆家族、巴鲁家族、贝克家族、阿斯特家族和范德比尔特家族手中——最多 600 个家族，拥有或控制着美国 90% 的财产。
They cannot eat the food, they cannot wear the clothes, so they destroy it.
他们不能吃食物，不能穿衣服，所以他们毁掉它。
They have it rotted; they plow it up; they pour it into the rivers; they bring destruction through the acts of mankind to let humanity suffer; to let humanity go naked; to let humanity go homeless, so that nothing may occur that will do harm to their vanity and to their greed.
他们把它腐烂了；他们把它犁起来；他们将其倒入河流；他们通过人类的行为带来破坏，让人类受苦；让人类赤身裸体；让人类无家可归，以免发生任何损害他们的虚荣心和贪婪的事情。
Like the dog in the manger, they command a wagon load of hay, which the dog would not allow the cow to eat, though he could not eat it himself.
就像马槽里的狗一样，他们命令一车干草，狗不允许牛吃这些干草，尽管他自己不能吃。
So now, ladies and gentlemen, we come to that plan of mine for which I have been so roundly denounced and condemned by such men as Mr. Farley, Mr. Robinson, and Gen.
现在，女士们、先生们，我们来谈谈我的计划，我为此受到了法利先生、罗宾逊先生和将军等人的严厉谴责和谴责。
Hugh S.
休·S。
Johnson, and other spellers and speakers and spoilers of the Roosevelt administration.
约翰逊，以及罗斯福政府的其他拼写者、演讲者和破坏者。
It is for the redistribution of wealth and for guaranteeing comforts and conveniences to all humanity out of this abundance in our country.
这是为了财富的重新分配，并保证全人类从我国的丰富资源中获得舒适和便利。
I hope none will be horror-stricken when they hear me say that we must limit the size of the big man's fortune in order to guarantee a minimum of fortune, life and comfort to the little man; but, if you are, think first that such is the declaration on which Roosevelt rode into the nomination and election of President.
我希望大家听到我说我们必须限制大人物的财富规模，以保证小人物最低限度的财富、生活和舒适时，不会感到惊恐；但是，如果你是，请首先想想，这就是罗斯福参加总统提名和选举的宣言。
While my urgings are declared by some to be the average of a madman, and by such men as General Johnson as insincere bait of a pied piper, if you will listen to me you will find that it is restating the laws handed down by God to man; you will find that it was the exact provision of the contract and law of the Pilgrim Fathers who landed at Plymouth in 1620.
虽然我的敦促被一些人宣称为疯子的平均水平，而约翰逊将军等人则将其视为不真诚的花衣笛手的诱饵，但如果你愿意听我的话，你会发现它是在重申上帝传给人类的法律；你会发现，这正是 1620 年登陆普利茅斯的清教徒先祖们的合同和法律的准确规定。
Here's what the Pilgrim Fathers said in the contract with the early settlers in the year 1620.
以下是清教徒先祖在 1620 年与早期定居者签订的合同中所说的话。
I read you article 5 from that contract:
我给您读了该合同的第 5 条：
5: That at ye end of ye 7.
5：在 7 的末端。
years, ye capital & profits, viz.
年，资本和利润，即。
the houses, lands, goods, and chattels, be equally divided betwixt ye adventurers, and planters; which done, every man shall be free from other of them of any debt or detriment concerning this adventure.
房屋、土地、货物和动产，由冒险家和种植园主平均分配；做到这一点后，每个人都将免受其他人因这次冒险而承担的任何债务或损害。
So the Pilgrim Fathers wrote into the covenant to do just exactly what the Bible said to do, that they should have an equal division of the wealth every seven years.
因此，朝圣者的先祖们在盟约中写入了严格按照圣经所说的去做的事，即他们应该每七年平均分配一次财富。
I don't go that far; I merely advocate that no man be allowed to become so big that he makes paupers out of a million other people
我不会走那么远；我只是主张不要让任何人变得如此强大，以至于让一百万人变成乞丐
You will find that it is the cornerstone on which nearly every religion since the beginning of man has been founded.
你会发现它是自人类诞生以来几乎所有宗教的基石。
You will find that it was urged by Bacon, Milton, and Shakespeare in England, by Socrates, Plato, Theognis, and other wisest of men in Greece, by Pope Pius XI in the Vatican, by the world's greatest inventor, Marconi in Italy, by Daniel Webster, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, William Jennings Bryan, and Theodore Roosevelt in the United States, as well as by nearly all of the thousands of great men whose names are yet mentioned in history.
你会发现，英国的培根、弥尔顿和莎士比亚，希腊的苏格拉底、柏拉图、泰奥格尼斯和其他最有智慧的人，梵蒂冈的教皇庇护十一世，意大利的世界最伟大的发明家马可尼，美国的丹尼尔·韦伯斯特、拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生、亚伯拉罕·林肯、安德鲁·杰克逊、威廉·詹宁斯·布莱恩和西奥多·罗斯福，以及几乎所有的人都曾敦促过这一点。历史上还有数以千计的伟人的名字被提及。
The principle was not only the mainspring of Roosevelt's nomination and election, but in the closing speech of Herbert Hoover at Madison Square Garden in November 1932, even Hoover said:
这一原则不仅是罗斯福提名和当选的主要动力，而且在 1932 年 11 月赫伯特·胡佛在麦迪逊广场花园的闭幕词中，连胡佛也说：
My conception of America is a land where men and women may walk in ordered liberty, where they may enjoy the advantages of wealth, not concentrated in the hands of a few but diffused through the lives of all.
我对美国的构想是这样的土地：男人和女人可以在有序的自由中行走，在那里他们可以享受财富的优势，财富不是集中在少数人手中，而是扩散到所有人的生活中。
And so now I come to give you again that plan, taken from these leaders of all times and from the Bible, for the sponsoring of which I am labeled America's menace, madman, pied piper, and demagogue.
因此，现在我再次向你们提供这个计划，该计划取自各个时代的领导人和《圣经》，因为我发起了这个计划，所以我被贴上了美国的威胁、疯子、花笛手和煽动者的标签。
First: That every big fortune shall be cut down immediately by a capital levy tax to where no one will own more than a few million dollars, as a matter of fact, to where no one can very long own a fortune in excess of about three to four millions of dollars.
第一：每一笔巨额财富都应立即通过资本征税削减到没有人会拥有超过几百万美元的水平，事实上，没有人可以长期拥有超过大约三到四百万美元的财富。
I propose that the surplus of all the big fortunes, above the few millions to any one person at the most, shall go into the United States ownership.
我建议，所有大笔财富的盈余，最多超过任何一个人的几百万美元，都应归美国所有。
How would we get all these surplus fortunes into the United States Treasury?
我们如何将所有这些盈余财富存入美国财政部？
Not hard to do.
不难做到。
We would not do it by making everyone sell what he owned; no. We would send everyone a questionnaire.
我们不会让每个人都出售他所拥有的东西来做到这一点；不。我们会给每个人发一份调查问卷。
On that he would list the properties he owns, lands and houses, stocks and bonds, factories and patents, and so on.
他会在上面列出他拥有的财产、土地和房屋、股票和债券、工厂和专利等等。
Every man would place his appraisal on his property, which the Government would review and maybe change on some items.
每个人都会对其财产进行评估，政府会对其进行审查，并可能对某些项目进行更改。
On that appraisal the big fortune holder would say out of what property he would retain the few millions allowed to him, the balance to go to the United States.
根据这一评估，大财富持有者会说，他将从哪些财产中保留允许给他的几百万美元，其余的将流向美国。
Say Mr. Henry Ford should allow that he owned all the stock of the Ford Motor Co., worth, say, $2 billion; he could claim, say $4 million of the Ford stock, but $1,996,000,000 would go to the United States.
假设亨利·福特先生应该允许他拥有福特汽车公司的全部股票，例如价值 20 亿美元；例如，他可以索要 400 万美元的福特股票，但 19.96 亿美元将流向美国。
Say the Rockefeller fortune was listed at $10 billion in oil stocks, bank stocks, money, and stores.
假设洛克菲勒的石油股票、银行股票、货币和商店财富达 100 亿美元。
Each Rockefeller could say whether he wanted his limit in either the money, oil, or bank stocks, but about nine billion and eight hundred million would go to the Government.
每个洛克菲勒都可以说他是否希望在货币、石油或银行股票方面受到限制，但大约有九十亿八亿将流向政府。
And so, in this way, the Government of the United States would come into the possession of about two-fifths of its wealth, which on normal values would be worth, say, $165 billion.
因此，通过这种方式，美国政府将拥有大约五分之二的财富，按正常价值计算，例如 1650 亿美元。
Then we would turn to the inventories of the 25 million families of America.
然后我们将转向美国 2500 万个家庭的清单。
All those who showed properties and money clear of debts that were above $5,000 and up to the limit of a few millions would not be touched.
所有那些出示财产和金钱、债务超过 5,000 美元且不超过几百万美元的人都不会受到影响。
But those showing less than $5,000 to the family free of debt would be added to, so that every family would start life again with homestead possessions of at least a home and the comforts needed for a home, including such things as a radio and an automobile.
但那些向家庭提供少于 5,000 美元的无债务的贷款将被添加进来，这样每个家庭就可以重新开始生活，拥有至少一套房屋的宅基地财产以及房屋所需的舒适设施，包括收音机和汽车等物品。
These things would go to every family as a homestead, not to be sold either for debts or taxes or even by consent of the owner except by the consent of the court or Government, and then only on condition that the court hold it to be spent for the purpose of buying another home and comforts thereof.
这些东西将作为宅基地归每个家庭所有，不得出售以偿还债务或税收，甚至不得经所有者同意出售，除非得到法院或政府的同意，而且只有法院认为将其用于购买另一所房屋及其舒适设施的情况下。
Such would mean that the $165 billion or more taken from big fortunes would have about $100 billion of it used to provide all with the comforts of home and living.
这意味着从巨额财富中拿走的 1,650 亿美元或更多资金将有大约 1,000 亿美元用于为所有人提供舒适的家庭和生活。
The Government might have to issue warrants for claim and location, or even currency to be retired from such property as was claimed, but all that is a detail not impractical to get these homes into the hands of the people.
政府可能必须签发认领权和位置令，甚至从所主张的财产中提取货币，但所有这些细节对于将这些房屋交到人民手中并非不切实际。
So America would start again with millionaires, but no multi-millionaires or billionaires; with some poor, but none too poor to be denied the comforts of life.
因此，美国将重新开始，有百万富翁，但没有千万富翁或亿万富翁；有些人很穷，但没有人穷得不能享受舒适的生活。
America, however, would still have maybe a $65 billion balance from these big fortunes not yet used to set up the poor people.
然而，美国可能仍有 650 亿美元的巨额财富尚未用于帮助穷人。
What would we do with that?
我们会用它做什么？
Wait a moment.
稍等。
I am coming to that, too.
我也即将谈到这一点。
Second: We propose that after homes and comforts of homes have been set up for the families of the country, that we shall turn our attention to the children and the youth of the land, providing first for their education and training.
第二：我们建议，在为国家的家庭建立了家园和舒适的家园之后，我们将把注意力转向国家的儿童和青少年，首先为他们提供教育和培训。
We would not have to worry about the problem of child labor, because the very first thing which we would place in front of every child would be not only a comfortable home during his early years but the opportunity for education and training, not only through the grammar school and the high school but through college and to include vocational and professional training for every child.
我们不必担心童工问题，因为我们摆在每个孩子面前的第一件事不仅是在他的童年时期提供一个舒适的家，而且是教育和培训的机会，不仅通过文法学校和高中，而且通过大学，包括为每个孩子提供职业和专业培训。
If necessary, that would include the living cost of that child while he attended college, if one should be too distant for him to live at home and conveniently attend, as would be the case with many of those living in the rural areas.
如有必要，这将包括该孩子上大学期间的生活费用，如果他住在家里并方便上大学太远，就像许多生活在农村地区的人的情况一样。
We now have an educational system, and in States like Louisiana -- and it is the best one -- where school books are furnished free to every child and where transportation by bus is given to every student, however far he may live from a grammar or high school; there is a fairly good assurance of education through grammar and high school for the child whose father and mother have enough at home to feed and clothe them.
我们现在有一个教育体系，在路易斯安那州这样的州——这是最好的——向每个孩子免费提供教科书，为每个学生提供公共汽车交通，无论他住得离文法学校或高中有多远；如果父母家里有足够的食物和衣服，孩子就可以得到很好的文法教育和高中教育保障。
But when it comes to a matter of college education, except in few cases the right to a college education is determined at this day and time by the financial ability of the father and mother to pay for the cost and the expense of a college education.
但是，当谈到大学教育时，除了少数情况外，当今时代，接受大学教育的权利取决于父母支付大学教育费用和费用的经济能力。
It don't make any difference how brilliant a boy or girl may be, that don't give them the right to a college education in America today.
无论男孩或女孩多么聪明，他们都没有权利在当今的美国接受大学教育。
Now, Gen.
现在，将军。
Hugh Johnson says I am indeed a very smart demagogue, a wise and dangerous menace.
休·约翰逊说我确实是一个非常聪明的煽动者，一个明智而危险的威胁。
But I am one of those who didn't have the opportunity to secure a college education or training.
但我是那些没有机会获得大学教育或培训的人之一。
We propose that the right to education and the extent of education shall be determined and gauged not so much by the financial ability of the parents but by the mental ability and energy of a child to absorb the learning at a college.
我们建议，受教育的权利和受教育的程度不应主要由父母的经济能力来决定和衡量，而应由孩子吸收大学学习的智力和精力来决定和衡量。
This should appeal to General Johnson, who says I am a smart man, since, had I enjoyed the learning and college training which my plan would provide for others, I might not have fallen into the path of the dangerous menace and demagogue that he has now found me to be.
这应该会吸引约翰逊将军，他说我是一个聪明人，因为，如果我享受我的计划将为其他人提供的学习和大学培训，我可能不会落入他现在发现的危险威胁和煽动者的道路。
Remember, we have $65 billion to account for that would lie in the hands of the United States, even after providing home comforts for all families.
请记住，即使在为所有家庭提供了居家般的舒适之后，我们仍有 650 亿美元的资金掌握在美国手中。
We will use a large part of it immediately to expand particularly the colleges and universities of this country.
我们将立即使用其中的很大一部分来扩大特别是这个国家的学院和大学的规模。
You would not know the great institutions like Yale, Harvard, and Louisiana State University.
你不会知道像耶鲁大学、哈佛大学和路易斯安那州立大学这样的伟大机构。
Get ready for a surprise.
准备好迎接惊喜吧。
College enrollments would multiply 1,000 percent.
大学入学率将增加 1,000%。
We would immediately call in the architects and engineers, the idle professors and scholars of learning.
我们会立即召集建筑师和工程师、无所事事的教授和学者。
We would send out a hurry call because the problem of providing college education for all of the youth would start a fusillade of employment which might suddenly and immediately make it possible for us to shorten the hours of labor, even as we contemplate in the balance of our program.
我们会发出紧急呼吁，因为为所有年轻人提供大学教育的问题将引发一系列就业问题，这可能会突然并立即使我们有可能缩短劳动时间，即使我们在计划的平衡中考虑这一点。
And how happy the youth of this land would be tomorrow morning if they knew instantly their right to a home and the comforts of a home and to complete college and professional training and education were assured!
如果这片土地上的年轻人立即知道他们有权利拥有一个家，享受舒适的家，并保证完成大学和专业培训和教育，那么明天早上他们会多么高兴！
I know how happy they would be, because I know how I would have felt had such a message been delivered to my door.
我知道他们会多么高兴，因为我知道如果这样的消息送到我家门口我会有什么感觉。
I cannot deliver that promise to the youth of this land tonight, but I am doing my part.
今晚我无法向这片土地的年轻人兑现这一承诺，但我正在尽自己的一份力量。
I am standing the blows; I am hearing the charges hurled at me from the four quarters of the country.
我经受住了打击；我听到来自全国四个地区对我的指控。
It is the same fight which was made against me in Louisiana when I was undertaking to provide the free school books, free busses, university facilities, and things of that kind to educate the youth of that State as best I could.
当我致力于提供免费教科书、免费公共汽车、大学设施以及类似的东西以尽我所能教育该州的年轻人时，在路易斯安那州也发生了同样的斗争。
It is the same blare which I heard when I was undertaking to provide for the sick and the afflicted.
当我致力于为病人和受苦的人提供食物时，我听到的正是同样的声音。
When the youth of this land realizes what is meant and what is contemplated the billingsgate and the profanity of all the Farleys and Johnsons in America can't prevent the light of truth from hurling itself in understandable letters against the dark canopy of the sky.
当这片土地上的年轻人意识到这意味着什么和正在考虑什么时，美国法利家族和约翰逊家族的比林斯门和亵渎行为无法阻止真理之光以可理解的字母投向黑暗的天空。
Now, when we have landed at the place where homes and comforts are provided for all families and complete education and training for all young men and women, the next problem is what about our income to sustain our people thereafter.
现在，当我们为所有家庭提供住房和舒适，并为所有青年男女提供完整的教育和培训时，下一个问题是我们此后的收入如何维持我们的人民。
How shall that be arranged to guarantee all the fair share of what soul and body need to sustain them conveniently.
如何安排才能保证灵魂和身体方便地维持所需的所有公平份额。
That brings us to our next point.
这引出了我们的下一点。
We propose:
我们建议：
Number 3: We shall shorten the hours of labor by law so much as may be necessary that none will be worked too long and none unemployed.
第三：我们将根据法律尽可能缩短劳动时间，这样就不会有人工作时间过长，也不会有人失业。
We shall cut the hours of toil to 30 hours per week, maybe less; we may cut the working year to 11 months' work and 1 month's vacation; maybe less.
我们将把工作时间减少到每周 30 小时，甚至更少；我们可以将一年的工作时间减少到11个月的工作时间和1个月的假期；也许更少。
If our great improvement programs show we need more labor than we may have, we will lengthen the hours as convenience requires.
如果我们的重大改进计划表明我们需要比现有更多的劳动力，我们将根据方便需要延长工作时间。
At all events, the hours for production will be gauged to meet the market for consumption.
无论如何，生产时间将根据市场消费情况进行调整。
We will need all our machinery for many years, because we have much public improvement to do; and, further, the more use that we may make of them, the less toil will be required for all of us to survive in splendor.
我们需要所有的机械设备使用很多年，因为我们还有很多公共改善工作要做；此外，我们越多地利用它们，我们所有人就能在辉煌中生存所需的辛劳就越少。
Now, a minimum earning would be established for any person with a family to support.
现在，将为任何有家庭需要养活的人设定最低收入。
It would be such a living which one, already owning a home, could maintain a family in comfort, of not less than $2,500 per year to every family.
已经拥有一套住房的人可以过上舒适的生活，每个家庭每年不少于 2,500 美元。
And now by reason of false statements made, particularly by Mr. Arthur Brisbane and Gen.
现在由于虚假陈述，特别是亚瑟·布里斯班先生和将军的虚假陈述。
Hugh S.
休·S。
Johnson, I must make answer to show you that there is more than enough in this country and more than enough raised and made every year to do what I propose.
约翰逊，我必须做出回答，以向您表明，这个国家有足够的资金，每年筹集和创造的资金都绰绰有余，可以实现我的提议。
Mr. Brisbane says I am proposing to give every person $15,000 for a home and its comforts, and he says that would mean the United States would have to be worth over a trillion dollars.
布里斯班先生说，我建议为每个人提供 15,000 美元的住房及其舒适设施，他说这意味着美国的价值必须超过一万亿美元。
Why make that untrue statement, Mr. Brisbane?
布里斯班先生，为什么要发表这种不真实的言论？
You know that is not so.
你知道事实并非如此。
I do not propose any home and comfort of $15,000 to each person -- it is a minimum of $5,000 to every family, which would be less than $125 billion, which is less than one-third of this Nation's wealth in normal times of $400 billion.
我不建议为每个人提供 15,000 美元的住房和舒适设施——每个家庭至少需要 5,000 美元，这将少于 1,250 亿美元，不到正常时期这个国家财富 4,000 亿美元的三分之一。
General Johnson says that my proposal is for $5,000 guaranteed earning to each family, which he says would cost from four to five hundred millions of dollars per year, which he says is four times more than our whole national income ever has been.
约翰逊将军说，我的建议是为每个家庭提供 5,000 美元的保证收入，他说这每年将花费四到五亿美元，他说这比我们以往的国民总收入高出四倍。
Why make such untrue statements, General Johnson?
约翰逊将军，为什么要发表如此不实的言论？
Must you be a false witness to argue your point?
你必须成为假证人才能论证你的观点吗？
I do not propose $5,000 income per year to each family.
我不建议每个家庭每年获得 5,000 美元的收入。
I propose a minimum of from $2,000 to $2,500 income per year to each family.
我建议每个家庭每年至少获得 2,000 至 2,500 美元的收入。
For 25 million families that minimum income per family would require from $50 billion to $60.6 billion.
对于 2500 万个家庭来说，每个家庭的最低收入需要 500 亿至 606 亿美元。
In the prosperous days we have had nearly double that for income some years already, which allowed plenty for the affluent; but with the unheard prosperity we would have, if all our people could buy what they need, our national income would be double what it has ever been.
在繁荣时期，几年来我们的收入几乎翻了一番，这为富人提供了充足的资金。但是，如果我们所有的人民都能买到他们需要的东西，我们将拥有前所未有的繁荣，我们的国民收入将是以前的两倍。
The Wall Street writer and statistician says we could have an income of at least $10,000 to every family in goods if all worked short hours and none were idle.
这位华尔街作家兼统计学家表示，如果所有人都短时间工作并且没有人闲着，那么我们每个家庭至少可以获得 10,000 美元的商品收入。
According to him, only one-fourth of the average income would carry out my plan.
据他说，只有平均收入的四分之一才能执行我的计划。
And now I come to the remainder of the plan.
现在我来谈谈计划的其余部分。
We propose:
我们建议：
Number 4: That agricultural production will be cared for in the manner specified in the Bible.
第四点：农业生产将以圣经规定的方式进行。
We would plow under no crops; we would burn no corn; we would spill no milk into the river; we would shoot no hogs; would slaughter no cattle to be rotted.
我们不会耕种任何庄稼；我们不会烧玉米；我们不会把牛奶洒进河里；我们不会射杀任何猪；不会宰杀任何牛使其腐烂。
What we would do is this:
我们要做的是这样的：
We would raise all the cotton that we could raise, all the corn that we could raise, and everything else that we could raise.
我们会种植所有我们能种植的棉花，所有我们能种植的玉米，以及我们能种植的所有其他东西。
Let us say, for example, that we raised more cotton than we could use.
例如，假设我们种植的棉花多于我们可以使用的棉花。
But here again I wish to surprise you when I say that if everyone could buy all the towels, all the sheets, all the bedding, all the clothing, all the carpets, all the window curtains, and all of everything else he reasonably needs; America would consume 20 million bales of cotton per year without having to sell a bale to the foreign countries.
但在这里，当我说如果每个人都能购买所有的毛巾、所有的床单、所有的床上用品、所有的衣服、所有的地毯、所有的窗帘以及他合理需要的所有其他东西时，我希望再次让你感到惊讶；美国每年将消耗 2000 万包棉花，而无需向外国出售一包棉花。
The same would be true of the wheat crop, and of the corn crop, and of the meat crop.
小麦作物、玉米作物和肉类作物也是如此。
Whenever everyone could buy the things he desires to eat, there would be no great excess in any of those food supplies.
当每个人都能买到他想吃的东西时，这些食物供应就不会出现过多的情况。
But for the sake of the argument, let us say, however, that there would be a surplus.
但为了论证起见，我们可以说会有盈余。
And I hope there will be, because it will do the country good to have a big surplus.
我希望会有这样的情况，因为拥有大量盈余对国家有利。
Let us take cotton as an example.
让我们以棉花为例。
Let us say that the United States will have a market for 10 million bales of cotton and that we raise 15 million bales of cotton.
假设美国将有 1000 万包棉花的市场，并且我们生产 1500 万包棉花。
We will store 5 million bales in warehouses provided by the Government.
我们将在政府提供的仓库中储存500万包。
If the next year we raise 15 million bales of cotton and only need 10, we will store another 5 million bales of cotton, and the Government will care for that.
如果明年我们筹集1500万包棉花，而只需要10包，我们将另外储存500万包棉花，政府会照顾这些。
When we reach the year when we have enough cotton to last for twelve or eighteen months, we will plant no more cotton for that next year.
当我们有足够的棉花供十二个月或十八个月使用的那一年时，我们明年就不再种植棉花了。
The people will have their certificates of the Government which they can cash in for that year for the surplus, or if necessary, the Government can pay for the whole 15 million bales of cotton as it is produced every year; and when the year comes that we will raise no cotton, we will not leave the people idle and with nothing to do.
人民将获得政府的证明，他们可以将当年的盈余兑现，或者如果有必要，政府可以支付每年生产的全部1500万包棉花；到了不种棉花的时候，我们也不会让老百姓无所事事。
That is the year when, in the cotton States, we will do our public improvement work that needs to be done so badly.
在那一年，我们将在棉花种植州开展急需完成的公共改善工作。
We will care for the flood-control problems; we will extend the electricity lines into rural areas; we will widen roads and build more roads; and if we have a little time left, some of us can go back and attend a school for a few months and not only learn some of the things we have forgotten but we can learn some things that they have found out about that they didn't know anything about when we were children.
关心防洪问题；我们将把电力线路延伸到农村地区；我们将拓宽道路，修建更多道路；如果我们还有一点时间，我们中的一些人可以回去上学几个月，不仅可以学到一些我们已经忘记的东西，而且我们可以学到一些他们在我们小时候发现的、他们一无所知的东西。
Now the example of what we would do about cotton is the same policy we would follow about all other crops.
现在，我们对棉花采取的政策与我们对所有其他作物采取的政策相同。
This program would necessitate the building of large storage plants, both heated and cold storage, and warehouses in all the counties of America, and that building program alone would take up all the idle people that America has today.
该计划将需要在美国所有县建造大型储存厂，包括加热和冷藏设施以及仓库，而仅该建设计划就将占用美国今天拥有的所有闲置人口。
But the money spent would go for good and would prevent any trouble happening in the future.
但所花的钱会永远用下去，并且可以防止将来发生任何麻烦。
And then there is another good thing.
还有另一件好事。
If we would fill these warehouses, then if there were to come a year of famine there would be enough on hand to feed and clothe the people of the Nation.
如果我们填满这些仓库，那么如果有一天发生饥荒，手头就有足够的东西来供国家人民吃穿。
It would be the part of good sense to keep a year or two of stock on hand all the time to provide for an emergency, maybe to provide for war or other calamity.
始终保留一两年的库存以备不时之需，也许是为了应对战争或其他灾难，这是明智之举。
I give you the next step in our program:
我向您介绍我们计划的下一步：
Number 5: We will provide for old-age pensions for those who reach the age of 60 and pay it to all those who have an income of less than $1,000 per year or less than $10,000 in property or money.
第五：我们将为年满60岁的人提供养老金，并将其支付给所有年收入低于1000美元或财产或金钱低于10000美元的人。
This would relieve from the ranks of labor those persons who press down the price for the use of their flesh and blood.
这将使那些压低使用其血肉价格的人从劳动队伍中解脱出来。
Now the person who reaches the age of 60 would already have the comforts of home as well as something else guaranteed by reason of the redistribution that had been made of things.
