一、真題文章（1994年text 1）
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. 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. 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.
An important factor in a market-oriented economy is the mechanism by which consumer demands can be expressed and responded to by producers. In the American economy， this mechanism is provided by a price system， a process in which prices rise and fall in response to relative demands of consumers and supplies offered by seller-producers. If the product is in short supply relative to the demand， the price will be bid up and some consumers will be eliminated from the market. If， on the other hand， producing more of a commodity results in reducing its cost， this will tend to increase the supply offered by seller-producers， which in turn will lower the price and permit more consumers to buy the product. Thus， price is the regulating mechanism in the American economic system.
The important factor in a private-enterprise economy is that individuals are allowed to own productive resources （private property） ， and they are permitted to hire labor， gain control over natural resources， and produce goods and services for sale at a profit. In the American economy， the concept of private property embraces not only the ownership of productive resources but also certain rights， including the right to determine the price of a product or to make a free contract with another private individual.
二、譯文
美國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)體系是圍繞一個(gè)基本的私營(yíng)企業(yè)進(jìn)行組織的，它是以市場(chǎng)為向?qū)У慕?jīng)濟(jì)，在這個(gè)體系中，通過(guò)在市場(chǎng)上花錢(qián)購(gòu)買(mǎi)那些消費(fèi)者最需要的商品和服務(wù)，消費(fèi)者在很大程度上決定了將要生產(chǎn)什么。為了追逐利潤(rùn)，私營(yíng)的商人們生產(chǎn)這些產(chǎn)品或提供這些服務(wù)，并和其他商人競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，而這種競(jìng)爭(zhēng)壓力下的謀利動(dòng)機(jī)在很大程度上決定了如何生產(chǎn)這些產(chǎn)品和提供服務(wù)。因此，在美國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)體系下，消費(fèi)者的個(gè)人需求，還有商人追求利潤(rùn)化的欲望以及個(gè)人對(duì)收入使用價(jià)值話的要求，這些加在一起共同決定了生產(chǎn)什么和怎樣利用有限的資源進(jìn)行生產(chǎn)。
在以市場(chǎng)為向?qū)У慕?jīng)濟(jì)體制中有一個(gè)重要的因素，就是要建立起一個(gè)合理的機(jī)制使消費(fèi)者的需求得以體現(xiàn)，并傳達(dá)到生產(chǎn)者那里。在美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)中，這一機(jī)制是由價(jià)格體系來(lái)提供，就是通過(guò)價(jià)格的漲落來(lái)表現(xiàn)供求關(guān)系。如果某種產(chǎn)品供不應(yīng)求，價(jià)格應(yīng)就會(huì)上漲，某些消費(fèi)者就會(huì)退出市場(chǎng)；相反，大批量生產(chǎn)某種商品導(dǎo)致成本降低，就會(huì)造成銷(xiāo)售生產(chǎn)商增加這種商品的供應(yīng)，而相應(yīng)的這會(huì)使價(jià)格降低，使更多的消費(fèi)者能夠購(gòu)買(mǎi)此類(lèi)產(chǎn)品。因此，價(jià)格就是美國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)體系中的規(guī)范機(jī)制。
在私有企業(yè)的經(jīng)濟(jì)體制中，一個(gè)重要的因素是，個(gè)人被允許擁有生產(chǎn)資料（個(gè)人財(cái)產(chǎn)），允許他們雇傭勞動(dòng)力，掌握自然資源，并且生產(chǎn)產(chǎn)品和提供服務(wù)以獲取利潤(rùn)。在美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)中，私人財(cái)產(chǎn)的概念不僅包括生產(chǎn)資料所有權(quán)，而且還包括某些權(quán)利，比如產(chǎn)品價(jià)格的決定權(quán)，以及和其他私營(yíng)個(gè)體自由訂立合同的權(quán)利。
