The world is full of misdirection and waste; but all the calamities and losses endured by mankind through frost, drought,
世界充滿誤導(dǎo)和虛度浪費的事情。但是，人類由于霜凍、干旱、
blight, hail, fires, earthquakes, inundations, are as nothing to those habitually suffered by them through human idleness and inefficiency,
蟲害、冰雹、火災(zāi)、地震洪水而遭受的所有災(zāi)難和損失，與他們由于自身懶惰和無效率所帶來的那些損失相比算不了什么，
mainly caused (or excused) by lack of industrial training. It is quite within the truth to estimate that one tenth of our people, in the average,
而懶惰和無效率則肇始于（或者說歸咎于）缺少產(chǎn)業(yè)培訓(xùn)。相當(dāng)保守地估計，
are habitually idle because (as they say) they can find no employment.
我們當(dāng)中有十分之一的人都已經(jīng)習(xí)慣懶惰，因為（正如他們所說的）他們發(fā)現(xiàn)無事可做。
They look for work where it can not be had. They seem to be, or they are, unable to do such as abundantly confronts and solicits them.
他們希望做的工作自己找不到。他們似乎，或者說他們不能直面這樣多的遭遇，而硬拉他們。
Suppose these to average but one million able-bodied persons, and that their work is worth but one dollar each per day;
假設(shè)平均來看一百萬身強體壯的人，他們的工作每天僅值一美元；
our loss by involuntary idleness can not be less than $300,000,000 per annum. I judge that it is actually $500,000,000.
由于不情愿的懶惰我們每年的損失將不低于三億美元。據(jù)我判斷，每年實際上不少于五億美元。
Many who stand waiting to be hired could earn from two to five dollars per day had they been properly trained to work.
假如他們受到適當(dāng)訓(xùn)練，許多站著等待被雇用的人每天就能掙兩到五美元。
"There is plenty of room higher up," said Daniel Webster, in response to an inquiry as to the prospects of a young man just entering upon the practice of law,
“有相當(dāng)大的提升空間，”丹尼爾·韋伯斯特在答復(fù)一項關(guān)于年輕人剛從事法律工作的調(diào)查時指出，
and there is never a dearth of employment for men or women of signal capacity or skill.
具備一種能力或技能的人，從男人到女人，絕對不會出現(xiàn)就業(yè)稀少現(xiàn)象。
