Equality and Greatness / 平等和偉大

Between persons of equal income there is no social distinction except the distinction of merit.

收入相當(dāng)?shù)娜顺似沸藻漠愐酝鉀]有社會差別。

Money is nothing;character,conduct,and capacity are everything.

金錢不能說明什么；性格，行為，能力才代表一切。

Instead of all the workers being leveled down to low wage standards and all the rich leveled up to fashionable income standards,everybody under a system of equal incomes would find?her?and?his own natural level.

在收入平等制度下，每個人將會找到他或她正常的地位，而不是所有的工人被劃到應(yīng)拿低工資階層，所有的富人被劃到應(yīng)得高收入的階層。?

There would be great people and ordinary people and little peolpe,but the great would always be those who had done great things, and never the idiot whose mothers had spoiled them and whose father had left a hundred thousand a year; and the little would be persons of small minds and mean characters, and not poor persons who had never had a chance.

人有卓著偉人，平庸之輩和碌碌小人之別，然偉人總是那些有所建樹之人，而非從小深受母親溺愛，父親每年留下一大筆錢之人；碌碌小人總是那些心胸狹窄，品德卑劣之人，而不是那些從未獲取機(jī)會的窮人。

That is why idiots are always in favour of inequality of income(their only chance of eminence),and the really great in favour of equality.

愚蠢之眾總是贊成收入不平等（他們職能憑借這種機(jī)會才能為人所知），而真正偉大之人則主張平等相待，原因就在于此。
