走進香山之中的優秀作文
親愛的麥克馬洪：
Dear Mr McMahon,
忘掉需求曲線吧;這是一個關于經濟盈余分配的兩方談判。塔爾坎始終愿意出高價，但同時希望能夠還價。女預言家("女巫"聽上去讓人不太舒服)則用限制供應的方法來應對，意在推升價格。
Forget the demand curve; this is a two-player negotiation over the division of economic surplus. Tarquin was always willing to pay a high price but hoped to get a bargain. The sibyl ("witch" is such an uncouth label) responded with a supply constriction designed to drive up the price.
塔爾坎可能會認為，這個女預言家只有一位競爭性買家，如果每位買家都只想要3本書的話，這將形成供過于求的局面。而一旦出現兩位買家只有3本書可買的情況，塔爾坎明白，他正面臨嚴峻的局面，因而搶先報出了價格。
Tarquin might have thought that the sibyl had just one rival buyer, and if each buyer wanted only one trilogy, that would be a supply glut. Once there was only one trilogy available for two buyers, Tarquin knew he was in a serious auction and made a pre-emptive offer.
還有一種可能性是，女預言家正在解決一個所謂的持久壟斷的問題。塔爾坎知道，女預言家可能會以高價向他出售3本書，然后再回頭以低價出售另外3本或6本。而通過燒毀6本書，女預言家讓自己能夠提出一個真正要不要隨你的出價。這是一種超前思維，但話說回來，她本來就是在推銷預言。
Another possibility is that the sibyl was dealing with the so- called durable monopoly problem. Tarquin knew that the sibyl might sell him an expensive trilogy, and then come back later with a cut- price offer to buy a second or third. By destroying two trilogies, the sibyl enabled herself to make a credible, take-it-or-leave-it offer. Forward-thinking stuff, but then, she was flogging prophecies.
