解釋:如果你想創業,比如開餐館或服飾店,美國是個創業的好地方。
This is because the U.S. has a capitalist, or market, economy,
這是因為美國的資本主義經濟或市場經濟,
making it acceptable and fairly easy for private entities (or individuals and businesses that are not owned by the government) to buy, sell, and trade things for money without government interference (or involvement by the government).
商品買賣不受政府干預,這讓私營業主的買賣行為變得更合理更便捷。
In the U.S., the government doesn't decide how much things should cost or how much of something should be produced (or made).
在美國,商品的價格和產量不是由政府決定,
Instead, prices and production are decided based on a system called supply and demand, which refers to how much of a thing exists and how many people want to have that thing.
而是由供求系統決定,它涉及產品的供應量和需求量。
How do we know how much supply and demand there is for a product?
我們是怎么知道某種產品的供求量?
There are two important factors.
有下面兩大因素。
The first is profit (or money a business gets by selling something), and the second is self-interest,
第一個因素是利潤,第二個因素是私利,
which is when a person makes decisions based on what is best for him or herself, without paying attention to what is best for other people.
也就是某人作出決定的時候是以最有益于他自己為基礎,而不是以最有益于別人為基礎。
