1. 英译汉

One response to this social dilemma is to deliberately engineer friction into modern consumer choices – to design transaction costs into technology. How should we do this? Too much would probably cause the digital economy to grind to a halt. It needs to be more a case of introducing some digital speed bumps that prompt consumers to slow down and think about the transaction they’re about to undertake in a way that preserves their autonomy. Ways of doing this include courts refusing to enforce automatic contracts and requiring evidence of actual deliberation by consumers about the most important substantive terms of a contract. Software could require a user to scroll over the most important terms and conditions before clicking the “I agree”, or it could even require consumers to answer substantive questions about the contract.

当然，随着越来越多的国家发展起来，竞争会越来越激烈。但竞争也是好事。让我们更有竞争力的是投入竞争，而不是奉行保护主义。当今世界，竞争对手往往也可以成为合作伙伴。所以我们应该以更开放的态度来对待竞争，积极地看待竞争，欢迎并鼓励更多的竞争。即使有时候可能会在竞争中失败，但我们仍应该保持积极的态度——随时准备承担风险，以开放的态度迎接竞争、始终坚韧不拔。我认为这才是真正的企业家精神。
