The American economic system is organized around a basically private-enterprise, market-oriented economy in which consumers largely determine what shall be produced by spending their money in the marketplace for those goods and services that they want most.

美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)體系是圍繞一個(gè)基本的私有企業(yè)和市場(chǎng)導(dǎo)向經(jīng)濟(jì)中,消費(fèi)者很大程度上決定什么應(yīng)該被制造出來(lái),花他們的錢(qián)在市場(chǎng)上為那些他們最想要的商品和服務(wù)。

Private businessmen, striving to make profits, produce these goods and services in competition with other businessmen; and the profit motive, operating under competitive pressures, largely determines how these goods and services are produced.

私營(yíng)企業(yè)家,努力使利潤(rùn),生產(chǎn)這些商品和服務(wù)與其他商人;競(jìng)爭(zhēng)和利潤(rùn)動(dòng)機(jī),在競(jìng)爭(zhēng)壓力下操作,很大程度決定如何生產(chǎn)這些商品和服務(wù)。

Thus, in the American economic system it is the demand of individual consumers, coupled with the desire of businessmen to maximize profits and the desire of individuals to maximize their incomes, that together determine what shall be produced and how resources are used to produce it.

因此,在美國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)體系是單個(gè)消費(fèi)者的需求,加上商人的愿望最大化其利潤(rùn)的欲望和個(gè)人收入最大化,共同來(lái)決定什么應(yīng)該被制造,以及資源如何被用來(lái)制造它。
