巴菲特:诚然,有些人利用负债得以致富。殊不知,这也是一条返贫之路。当杠杆发挥作用时,它会放大你的收益。你的配偶认为你很聪明,而你的邻居会嫉妒你。但杠杆会让人上瘾。一旦从中尝到甜头,很少有人会转而采取更保守的做法。正如我们在三年级时所学到的,任何一系列正数,无论数字多么令人印象深刻,只要乘以一个零,就会顷刻间灰飞烟灭,有些人在2008年又重温了这一课。历史告诉我们,即便使用杠杆的人非常聪明,最后也难逃归零的宿命。(2010年)
巴菲特原文:Unquestionably, some people have become very rich through the use of borrowed money. However, that’s also been a way to get very poor. When leverage works, it magnifies your gains. Your spouse thinks you’re clever, and your neighbors get envious. But leverage is addictive. Once having profited from its wonders, very few people retreat to more conservative practices. And as we all learned in third grade — and some relearned in 2008 — any series of positive numbers, however impressive the numbers may be, evaporates when multiplied by a single zero. History tells us that leverage all too often produces zeroes, even when it is employed by very smart people.(2010)
释义:1.“magnifies”意为“放大”;
2.“envious”意为“嫉妒”;
3.“addictive”意为“上瘾的”;
4.“evaporates”意为“蒸发”、“消失”。

Joseph E. Stiglitz:
"Forty-odd years after neoliberalism took hold it’s clear it doesn’t work. In fact, it never had either a robust theory or the data to back up its claims. Time to introduce a new, more freeing capitalism that allows all people to live up to their potential. That’s what I do in my new book, The Road to Freedom, out tomorrow. "

And if you get in any trouble, all you’ve got to do is say “my father” and that’s it, all your troubles are gone. You’re nothing without your daddy, and your daddy ain’t here. Never forget that.
无论你遇上任何麻烦,只要你报上你父亲的大名,什么麻烦都能搞定。没有你爹你什么都不是,而他恰好不在这儿。给我记住了。
