The "standard of living" of a country means the average person' s② share of the goods and services which the country produces. A country' s standard of living, therefore, depends first and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this sense is not money, for we do not live on ② money but on things that money can buy: "goods" such as food and clothing, and "services" such as transport and entertainment.

　　A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country's natural resources, such as coal, gold, and other minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a favorable climate; other regions possess none of them.

　　②靠……為生

　　參考譯文:

　　任何一個國家的生活水平,指的是那個國家生產的產品和提供的服務為普通老百姓分享的情況.因此,一個國家的生活水平,首先取決于它創(chuàng)造財富的能力.在這個意義上,財富并不是指金錢,因為我們生存靠的不是錢,而是靠錢能買到的東西:比如食物和衣服這些"產品",交通和娛樂這些"服務".

　　一個國家創(chuàng)造財富的能力取決于很多因素,其中大部分因素相互作用.財富在很大程度上依賴于一個國家的自然資源,比如煤礦、金礦和其他礦物質、水源等等.世界上有些地區(qū)煤礦和礦物質的儲量豐富,土壤肥沃,氣候適宜,其他地區(qū)卻一樣都不具備。
