It is, however, presumptuous to insist that there will only be so many jobs for so many scientists, so many businessmen, so many accountants.
然而,去臆断科学家、商人、会计职位的数量是武断的。
Besides, this is unlikely to produce the needed number of every kind of professional in a country as large as ours and where the economy is spread over so many states and involves so many international corporations.
此外,在我们这么大的一个国家里,经济延展到这么多的州,涉及到这么多的国际公司,因而要按照数量培养出所需要的各类专业人员是不太可能的。
Three sun-belt states — Florida, Texas and California — together had nearly 10 million more people in 1980 than a decade earlier.
佛罗里达、得克萨斯和加利福尼亚这三个阳光充沛的地区,1980年的人口比前10年增加了近1000万。
Among large cities, San Diego moved from 14th to 8th and San Antonio form 15th to 10th — with Cleveland and Washington DC dropping out of the top 10.
在大城市排行榜上,圣地亚哥从第14位上升到第8位,圣安东尼奥从第15位升到第10位,而克利夫兰和华盛顿特区却被挤出了前10位。
In that decade, however, large numbers also migrated from California, mostly to other parts of the West.
70年代也有大量的人离开加利福尼亚,大多数去了西部其他的地方。
Often they chose — and still are choosing — somewhat colder climates such as Oregon, Idaho and Alaska in order to escape smog, crime and other plagues of urbanization in the Golden State.
他们常常选择——现在依然这样选择——一些气候较冷的地区,如俄勒冈、爱达荷和阿拉斯加,为的是躲开“金州”加利福尼亚)的烟雾、犯罪和其他城市化进程中的问题。
Many an old firm was replaced by a limited liability company with a bureaucracy of salaried managers.
许多旧式公司被责任有限公司所取代,由领薪经理构成其管理机构。
The change met the technical requirements of the new age by engaging a large professional element and prevented the decline in efficiency that so commonly spoiled the fortunes of family firms in the second and third generation after the energetic founders.
这种变革通过聘用大量专业人员来适应新时代的技术要求,并防止了效率的降低,而在过去这种低效率使得许多旧式家族企业在精力充沛的创业者之后的第二、三代手中破产倒闭。
It was moreover a step away from individual initiative, towards collectivism and municipal and state-owned business.
而且这也是公司摆脱个体创造,走向集体化和市营、国营迈出的一步。
The growth of the limited liability company and municipal business had important consequences.
有限责任公司及市政企业的发展导致了重大后果。
Such large, impersonal manipulation of capital and industry greatly increased the numbers and importance of shareholders as a class, an element in national life representing irresponsible wealth detached from the land and the duties of the landowners; and almost equally detached from the responsible management of business.
对资本与企业的如此大规模的非个人操纵大大地增加了作为一个阶级的持股人的数量及其地位的重要性。他们在国民生活中代表着非责任性的财富,与土地及土地所有者责任相分离,几乎也同样与企业的责任经营相分离。
Towns like Bournemouth and Eastbourne sprang up to house large "comfortable" classes who had retired on their incomes, and who had no relation to the rest of the community except that of drawing dividends and occasionally attending a shareholders' meeting to dictate their orders to the management.
像伯恩茅斯和伊斯特本这样的城市的兴起是为了给大批“舒适”阶层提供居住场所,这些人靠自己的丰厚收入而不工作,除了领取红利,偶尔参加股东会议向管理人员发号施令外,他们与外界没有联系。
