　　英語四級翻譯積累訓練二：

　　無論如何，創造財富的物質資源，不論其初始分配如何，最終是要通過各種各樣的渠道，流入到具有企業家精神的人手里，這是自由市場的一個基本趨勢。這些人獲得對他人的財富的支配權、使用權，以之為自己創造財富，并積累財富。這正是自由市場具有效率的根源。它可以動態地、自發地把資源從資源利用效率較低的人手里轉移到資源利用效率較高的人手里。中國人講“富不過三代”，其中有一些無奈，但也揭示了自由市場的精髓所在：財富本身并不能充當財富的保障。因為，財富本來就不是財富創造出來的。

　　【答案解析】

　　答案:

　　However,no matter how they are allocated in the firset place,the material resources which can create fortune will flow into entrepreneurs'hands eventually through various channels.It is the basic tendency of free market.Those people acquire the right of disposal and the right of use of other people's wealth to create and accumulate wealth for them.This is the very source of efficiency of free market.It can dynamically and spontaneously transfers the resources from the people who are inefficient in resourses use to the people who are efficient in resources use.There is a Chinese saying that “the rich can not last three generations”.It has no alternative but also reveals some pith and marrow of the free market:the fortune itself can not be be guraantee of the fortune,because the fortune is not created by fortune.

　　解析:

　　這里“富不過三代”的俗語可以翻出它的意思即可，后面的“無奈…但…”可以用“have no alternative but also”這種結構。
