英语翻译
What counts ishowmuch work we must do to pay for what we buy.For an hour’work,in 1931 anAmerican factory worker could buy lessthan a pound and half of beef.Today he can buy more than three pounds.Theprice of beef is higher now,but the worker buys it with a smaller part ofwhathe earns.He has more money left for other things.His standard of livingishigher than before.
The food instoesis cheaner and better today,too.In the old days food was kept in openboxes andtubs.Today it is packed and displayed in cleaner ways.Peope can buymorekinds of food than ever before.80 years ago,most stores a about 100 kindsoffood,but mow most medium-sized food stores sell about 8000 and they sellfreshfoods all year round Many preparedfoodsare almost ready for busy mothers to put on the table.Babies can havemoregood foods and grow better.Today children are taller and heavier.
In somecountries,a farmer still grows only enough food for four or five people.In theUnitedStates a farmer grows enough for more than 50 people.New machines,newfeedsfor animals,better seeds,new ways of farming and shipping all have made itpossiblefor farmers to produce more and better foods and put them in ourstores.
It has takenusmany years to learn how to provide these foods.But now we are sure thatpeopleall over the world can someday have a high standard of living.
重要的是为了我们要买的东西我们必须付出多少劳动.比如一个小时的工作,在1931年一个美国工人可以买到不超过一点五磅牛肉.在今天他能买到超过三磅的牛肉.现在的牛肉价格高多了,但是工人只需要用他所赚钱的一小部分来购买.他有更多剩余的钱来买其他东西.他的生活标准比以前高多了.
现在商店里的食物比以前更好更卫生.在过去食物被保存在敞开的纸盒和起皿里.但是现在食物是被包装好的并且以更加卫生的方式陈列出来.人们能够买到比以前更多种类的食物.八十年前大部分商店只有一百多种食物,但是现在大多数中等规模的食品店可销售八千多种食物并且他们能整年都销售新鲜的食物.许多准备好的食物是可以被一个忙碌的母亲直接摆到餐桌上的.孩子们可以有更好的食物并且成长的更好.现在的孩子都比以前长得更高更重.
在某些国家,一个农民仍然只能种植四到五个人的食物.在美国一个农民可以种植足够超过五十人的食物.新的机器,新品种的饲料,更好的种子,更新的种植方法和运输方式使农民们产出更多更好的食物成为可能并且把它们放到商店里出售.
我们花了很多年的时间才掌握怎么样提供这些食物.但是我们确信全世界的人们在某一天能够拥有更高标准的生活.
