Spillonomics: Underestimating Risk

漏油经济：低估风险

David Leonhardt

Published: June 1, 2010

[1] In retrospect, the pattern seems clear. Years before the Deepwater Horizon [h??ra?zn] rig[r?ɡ] blew, BP was developing a reputation as an oil company that took safety risks to save money. An explosion at a Texas[?t?ks?s]refinery [r??fa?n?ri] killed 15 workers in 2005, and federal regulators and a panel led by James A. Baker III, the former secretary of state, said that cost cutting was partly to blame. The next year, a corroded [k??r??d]pipeline in Alaska poured oil into Prudhoe Bay, upbraided[?p?bre?d] BP managers for their “seeming indifference to safety and environmental issues. ['??ju:z]”

[1] 回想起来，模式似乎很清楚。早在“深水地平线”钻机自爆前的很多年，BP石油公司为了省钱甘冒安全的风险就已经声名狼藉。2005年得克萨斯州炼油厂爆炸中有15名工人丧生。联邦监管机构和前国务卿詹姆斯·贝克三世领导的专门小组认为，削减成本是事故的部分原因。第二年，阿拉斯加腐蚀的管道将石油漏入普拉德霍湾。就连乔·巴顿，对全球变暖持怀疑态度的来自得克萨斯州的共和党众议员，都谴责BP管理人员“对安全和环境问题表现得漠不关心”

[2] Much of this indifference stemmed from an obsession with profits, come what may. But there also appears to have been another factor, one more universally human, at work. The people running BP did a dreadful[?dr?df?l] job of estimating the true

chances of events that seemed unlikely—but that would bring enormous costs.

[2]这种冷漠大部分源于对利润的过度追求，不管出现什么情况。但似乎也还有另一个因素在起作用，一个更普遍的人性的因素。BP的管理人员在估计似乎不太可能发生但一旦发生就会带来巨大损失的事件真正会发生的可能性时，犯了一个可怕的错误。

[3] Perhaps the easiest way to see this is to consider what BP executives [?g?zekj?t?v] must be thinking today. Surely, given the expense of the clean-up and the hit to BP’s reputation, the executives wish they could go back and spend the extra money to make Deepwater Horizon safer. That they did not suggests that they figured the rig would be fine as it was.

[3]也许理解这一点最简单的方法就是思考一下BP高管们如今的想法。显然，考虑到清理费用和对BP声誉的影响，高管们真希望可以回到过去，多花些钱让“深水地平线”更安全。他们没有增加这笔费用就表明他们认为钻机在当时的状态下不会出问题。

[4] For all the criticism BP executives may deserve, they are far from the only people to struggle with such low-probability, high-cost events. Nearly everyone does. “These are precisely the kind s of events that are hard for us as humans to get our hands around and react to rationally['r??n?l?],” Robert N. Stavins, an environmental economist

at Harvard, says. We make two basic—and opposite—types of mistakes. When an

event is difficult to imagine, we tend to underestimate its likelihood. This is the proverbial [pr??v?:rbi?l]black swan. Most of the people running Deepwater Horizon probably never had a rig explode on them. So they assumed it would not happen, at least not to them.

[4]尽管针对BP高管的所有批评可能都是他们应得的，但是他们绝不是唯一艰难应对这种低概率、高成本事件的人。几乎每个人都会如此。“这些正是我们人类处理时很难做出合理反应的一类事件，”哈佛大学环境经济学家罗伯特·斯塔文斯说。我们经常犯两种基本且性质相反的错误。当一件事情是很难想象的，我们往往会低估它的可能性。这就是众所周知的黑天鹅（稀有之物）现象。大多数在“深水地平线”工作的人可能从未经历过钻井平台爆炸。因此他们认为这不会发生，至少不会发生在他们身上。

[5] Similarly, Ben Bernanke and Alan Greenspan liked to argue, not so long ago, that the national real estate market was not in a bubble [?b?bl] because it had never been in one before. Wall Street traders took the same view and built mathematical models that did not allow for the possibility that house prices would decline[d??kla?n]. And many home buyers signed up for unaffordable mortgages[?m?:rg?d?], believing they could refi nance or sell the house once its price rose. That’s what house prices did, it seemed.

[5]同样，不久以前，本·伯南克和艾伦·格林斯潘也喜欢称全国房地产市场没有泡沫，因为以前从未有过泡沫。华尔街交易员也持同样观点，他们建立的数学模型根本不存在房价下降的可能性。许多购房者签订了负担不起的抵押贷款，相信一旦其价格上涨，他们可以再融资或卖掉房子。看起来房价好像是在上涨。

[6] On the other hand, when an unlikely event is all too easy to imagine, we often go in the opposite direction and overestimate the odds. After the 9/11 attacks, Americans canceled plane trips and took to the road. There were no terrorist[?t?r?r?st] attacks in this country in 2002, yet the additional driving apparently led to an increase in traffic fatalities. [f??t?l?ti]

[6]另一方面，当一个不太可能发生的事件是很容易想象的，我们经常会走向另一个方向，高估它的可能性。“9·11”恐怖袭击后，美国人取消了飞机旅行，转而驾车上路。2002年在这个国家没有发生恐怖袭击，但更多的驾车出行显然导致了交通死亡人数的增加。

[7] When the stakes are high enough, it falls to government to help its citizens avoid these entirely human errors. The market, left to its own devices, often cannot do so. Yet in the case of Deepwater Horizon, government policy actually went the other way. It encouraged BP to underestimate the odds of a catastrophe.

[7]当风险非常高时，应该由政府负责以帮助避免这些完全人为的错误。如果让市场自行其是，往往做不到这一点。然而，在“深水地平线”这件事情上，政府的政策实际上起到了相反的作用。它助长BP低估了灾难的可能性。

[8] In a little-noticed provision [pr??v???n]in a 1990 law passed after the Exxon Valdez spill, Congress capped a spiller’s liability over and above cleanup costs at $75

million for a rig spill. Even if the economic damages—to tourism, fishing and the like—stretch into the billions, the responsible party is on the hook for only $75 million.

(In this instance, BP has agreed to waive the cap for claims it deems legitimate.) Michael Greenstone, an M.I.T.economist who runs the Hamilton Project in Washington, says the law fundamentally distorts a company’s decision making. Without the cap, executives would have to weigh the possible revenue [?rev?nju:]from a well against the cost of drilling there and the risk of damage. With the cap, they can largely ignore the potential damage beyond cleanup costs. So they end up drilling wells even in places where the damage can be horrific, like close to a shoreline. To put it another way, human frailty [?frelti]helped BP’s executives underestimate the chance of a low-probability, high-cost event. Federal law helped them underestimate the costs.

[8]埃克森公司瓦尔迪兹漏油事件发生后，在1990年的一个法案很少引人注意的一项条款中，美国国会将钻机泄漏清理费用的责任上限定为7500万美元。即使对旅游业、渔业等造成的经济损失高达数十亿美元，责任方也仅需要支付7500万美元。（在这种情况下，BP已同意对它认为合法的索赔，放弃这一上限。）在华盛顿负责汉密尔顿项目的麻省理工学院经济学家迈克尔·格林斯通说这一法律从根本上扭曲了公司的决策。如果赔偿没有上限，管理人员就会权衡油井可能的收益以及钻井的成本和损害赔偿的风险。而有了这个上限，他们就可以在很大程度上忽略清理费用之外的潜在损害赔偿。所以在损害可能非常可怕的地方，如靠近海岸线的地方，他们也会钻井。换句话说，人类的弱点使得BP公司高管低估了低概率、高成本事件的可能性。而联邦法律则使得他们低估了成本。

[9] In the wake of Deepwater Horizon, Congress and the Obama administration will no doubt be tempted to pass laws meant to reduce the risks of another deep-water disaster. Certainly there are some sensible steps they can take, like lifting the liability cap and freeing regulators from the sway [swe?]of industry. But it would be foolish to think that the only risks we are still underestimating are the ones that have suddenly become salient. [?se?li?nt]

[9]在“深水地平线”之后，美国国会和奥巴马政府毫无疑问希望通过相关法律以减少再次出现“深水地平线”这样的风险。当然他们可以采取一些明智的做法，如解除责任上限，摆脱石油业对监管人员的影响。不过，如果认为我们目前仍然低估的只是那些突然间引人注目的风险，那是非常愚蠢的。

[10] The big financial risk is no longer a housing bubble. Instead, it may be the huge deficits[?d?f?s?t] that the growth of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security will

cause in coming years—and the possibility that lenders will eventually become nervous

about extending credit to Washington. True, some economists and policy makers insist the country should not get worked up about this possibility, because lenders have never soured [?sau?]on the United States government before and show no signs of doing so

now. But isn’t that reminiscent[?r?m??n?s?nt]of the old Bernanke-Greenspan tune about the housing market?

[10]大的金融风险已不再是房地产泡沫。相反，它可能是医疗保险、医疗救助和社会保障的增长在未来将会导致的巨额赤字，以及贷款人可能最终不愿再向华盛顿扩大信贷。诚然，一些经济学家和决策者坚持认为国家还不应该考虑如何应对这种可能性，因为贷款人与美国政府的关系从来没有恶化过，也没有迹象显示现在就是这样。但这是不是让人联想到伯南克和格林斯潘对住房市场的老调呢？

[11] Then, of course, there are the greenhouse gases that oil wells (among other things) send into the atmosphere even when the wells function properly. Scientists say the buildup of these gases is already likely to warm the planet by at least three degrees over the next century and cause droughts [dra?t], storms and more ice-cap melting. The researchers’ estimat es have risen recently, too, and it is also possible the planet could get around 12 degrees hotter. That kind of warming could flood[fl?d] major cities and cause parts of Antarctica [?n'tɑ:rkt?k?]to collapse.

[11]当然，即使油井正常运转时，油井（与其他事物一起）也会向大气中排放温室气体。科学家们说，这些气体的积累已经可能在下个世纪将地球温度提高至少3度，并导致干旱、风暴和更多的冰层融化。最近，研究人员的预测又提高了，地球温度有可能上涨约12度。这样的气候变暖可能会在各大城市引起洪灾，并导致南极部分坍塌。

[12] Nothing like that has ever happened before. Even imagining it is difficult. It is much easier to hope that the odds of such an outcome are vanishingly small. In fact, it’s only natural to have this hope. But that doesn’t make it wise.

[12]这样的事情还没有发生过。即使想象它都是困难的。更容易做的是希望出现这样结果的可能性微乎其微。事实上，抱有这样的希望是自然的反应。但是，这并不代表它是明智的。

Lesson 1 II. Translation Put the following passages into Chinese. 1. For English is a killer. It is English that has killed off Cumbric, Cornish, Norn and Manx. There are still parts of these islands where sizeable communities speak languages that were there before English. Yet English is everywhere in everyday use and understood by all or virtually all, constituting such a threat to the three remaining Celtic languages, Irish, Scottish Gaelic, and Welsh... that their long-term future must be considered... very greatly at risk. 因为英语是个杀手。正是英语造成了凯尔特语、康沃尔语、诺恩语和马恩语等语言的消亡。这些岛上的分地区依然还有很多社区的人使用在英语到来之前就已存在的语言。然而，英语在日常生活中无处不在。所有的人或几乎所有的人都懂英语。英语对仅存的三种凯尔特语——爱尔兰语、苏格兰盖尔语及威尔士语的威胁是如此之大，人们一定认为它们遥远的未来是岌岌可危的。 2. He also associated such policies with a prejudice which he calls linguisticism (a condition parallel to racism and sexism). As Phillipson sees it, leading institutions and individuals within the predominantly "white" English-speaking world, have (by design or default) encouraged or at least tolerated—and certainly have not opposed—the hegemonic spread of English, a spread which began some three centuries ago as economic and colonial expansion. 同时，他认为这些政策和他称之为语言歧视（与种族歧视、性别歧视等类似）的偏见密切相关。在菲利普森看来，在以白人英语为主导的世界里，主要的机构和个人（有意或无意地）鼓励或者至少是容忍了（肯定没有反对）英语霸权主义式的传播，这种传播始于三个世纪之前的经济及殖民扩张。 3.By and large, we now view them as more or less benign, and often talk with admiration and appreciation about the cultures associated with them and what they have given to the world. And it is fairly safe to do this, because none of them now poses much of a threat. 总的来说，我们现在或多或少地把这些语言看作有利的语言。在谈到与之相关的文化及其为世界所做的贡献时，我们常怀有崇敬与赞赏，而且这样做是很安全的，因为这些语言现在已不会构成什么大的威胁。 4. Yet many people see English as a blessing. Let me leave aside here the obvious advantages possessed by any world language, such as a large communicative network, a strong literary and media complex, and a powerful cultural and educational apparatus. 然而，许多人把英语看成是一件幸事。在此，我暂且不谈世界语言所具有的明显优势，例如庞大的交流网络、发达的文字与传媒体系以及强大的文化教育设施。 5. English-speaking South Africans of British descent were not particularly strong in opposing the apartheid regime, and the black opposition, whose members had many languages, was at first weak and disorganized. 讲英语的南非英国后裔并不强烈反对种族隔离政权，而黑人反对力量，其成员讲多种语言，在初期软弱无力且缺乏组织。 6. Such symbolism suggests that the users of the world's lingua franca should seek to benefit as fully as possible from the blessing and as far as possible avoid invoking the curse. 这一象征表明这种世界通用语的使用者应充分发掘这一幸事为我们带来的好处,同时尽能避免招来灾难。

Lesson 1 1. Yesterday’s terrorism darkened, marked and forever altered the way Americans live their lives. 昨日发生的恐怖主义活动使美国人的生活暗淡无光，在他们的生活中留下了印迹，并永远地改变了他们的生活。 2. “We are going to have to learn what a lot of other countries have gone through: to manage fear at a cultural and national level,” said Charles Figley, a professor of trauma psychology at Florida State University. “We’re getting a lesson in the way fear works.” 佛罗里达州立大学创伤心理学教授查尔斯?费格里说:“我们得学一学其它许多国家曾经经历过的东西，那就是从文化上和在全国范围内来应对恐惧。”他还说:“我们正在体验恐惧是怎样起作用的。” 3. In a country long proud and even boastful of its openness—a country where an ordinary citizen can stroll through the U.S. Capitol unescorted—the terrorist attacks are likely to force Americans to a lot of that. Metal detectors now mark the front door of many government buildings, and security guards are a fixture in the lobby of most large office buildings. 美国是一个一向以开放自豪甚至洋洋得意的国家，在这里，人们可以独自在美国国会大楼中闲庭信步，而现在，恐怖袭击很有可能迫使美国人处处小心，惶惶不可终日。其实我们很大程度上已经是这样了。许多政府大楼的前门装设的金属探测器已然成为一道风景线，大部分的办公大楼里也必备保安。 4. But retaliation carries the risk of setting off a tightening spiral of violence and counterviolence not unlike the Middle East or Northern Ireland. Unlike countries that have had to learn to live with violence,”We are new at this,” said Florida’s Dr. Figley, who heads a project that has trained trauma teams in Yugoslavia.”My fear is we will overreach and make things worse rather than better by retribution, revenge, racism and marginalizing ethnic groups.” 报复有很大的危险，会引发和在中东及北爱尔兰一样的紧张的暴力和反暴力的恶性攀升。与那些不得不在暴力中学习如何生存的国家不同，“我们是新手，”曾在南斯拉夫训练过创伤急救队的项目负责人费格里博士说，“我所担心的是惩罚、报复、种族主义和排斥少数民族的举动会过于偏激，适得其反。” 5. Fear of terrorism is likely to lead Americans to tolerate more government surveillance—such as overhead video cameras at sporting events—than they have to date. “It’s very likely in the wake of today’s events that we’re going to see a greater acceptance on the public’s part—and on the court’s part—to approve certain kinds of police tactics,” said William Stuntz, a Harvard Low School professor. 对于恐怖主义的恐惧会使美国人接受比现在更多的来自政府的监控，例如在运动竞赛场上高架的摄象机。哈佛大学法学院教授威廉姆斯?斯汤资说，“经过目前前这些事件，我们将发现，无论是公众，还是法庭，都会在更大程度上接受某些警察的策略。” Lesson 5 戴维先到一步，事后他气愤地向我发难说当他告诉领班准备和谁一起吃饭时，领班的语气骤然逆转。一瞬间就从“这是个什么人？”变成“这边有请，先生。”当我们赶到时，拍照的人已经在饭店外忙个不停了。戴维开始嘲笑我是伦敦这家高级饭店里的知名人物。这时，我俩向屋内望去并同时看到了我们的偶像。

研究生英语阅读教程课后翻译(带原文)

Lesson 1 因为英语是个杀手,正是英语造成了坎伯兰语，康沃尔语，诺恩语和马恩语等语言的消亡。在这些岛上还有相当多的人使用在英语到来之前就已存在的语言。然而,英语在日常生活中无处不在。 所有的人或几乎所有的人都懂英语。英语对现存的凯尔特语:爱尔兰语、苏格兰盖尔语及威尔士语的威胁是如此之大，它们的未来岌岌可危。 同时，他认为这些政策和他称之为语言歧视（和种族歧、,性别歧视的情况类似"）的偏见密切相关。在菲利普森看来，在以白人英语为主导的世界，最重要的机构和个人（有意或无意地）鼓励或者至少是容忍了（肯定没有反对）英语霸权主义式的传播。这种传播始于三个世纪之前的经济及殖民扩张。 总的来说，我们现在或多或少地把这些语言看作有利的语言。在谈到与之相关的文化及其为世界所做的贡献时，我们常怀有崇敬与赞赏，而且这样做也没有太大的风险，因为这些语言现在已不会构成什么威胁。 然而，许多人把英语看成是一件幸事。在此，我暂且不谈任何世界语言所具有的明显优势，例如广泛的通信网，强大的文化传媒体系，及强有力的文化教育机构。 讲英语的南非英国后裔并不强烈反对种族隔离政权，而黑人反对力量，其成员讲多种语言，在初期软弱无力且缺乏组织。

这一象征表明这种世界通用语的使用者应充分发掘这一幸事为我们带来的好处，同时尽可能避免招来灾难。 Lesson 2 年初布什总统签署了一项《不让一个孩子落后》的重大法案,誓言要把“困在那些教学质量不佳又不进行改革的学校里的孩子”解救出来.2007 年 7月 1日美国教育部宣布有 8652所学校被列为“长期教学质量低下”的学校,现在这些学校中的学生必须在今后的几天内考虑决定他们是否要转学, 同时各个学区也在忙着为符合转学条件的学生提供帮助和服务以抓住选择的机会。 对于那些在教学改革旋涡中挣扎的学校的校长、老师和学生来说，这一法案的直接后果则是迷惑与混乱。 他们认为该法案制订的教学改革标准太高而又没有说明各学区如何达到这些标准。 我们必须对公众负责，不过我们必须研究所有衡量指标。 一所学校连续两年在州水平考试中没有表现出“足够的年度改进”就会被认为是不合格的学校，但是联邦教育部并没有提供一个具有权威性的不合格学校的名单让学生家长作为参考，而是要求各州各自确定不合格学校的名单，并且要求他们把学生的考试成绩按照学生的种族和家庭收入进行分类。新法案还规定各州要公布便于学生和家长查找的不合格学校的名单，但是没有几个州能很快拿出来。
