18. 【http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/teaparty.htm】
The colonies refused to pay the levies required by the Townsend Acts claiming they had no obligation to pay taxes imposed by a Parliament in which they had no representation. In response, Parliament retracted the taxes with the exception of a duty on tea - a demonstration of Parliament's ability and right to tax the colonies. In May of 1773 Parliament concocted a clever plan. They gave the struggling East India Company a monopoly on the importation of tea to America. Additionally, Parliament reduced the duty the colonies would have to pay for the imported tea. The Americans would now get their tea at a cheaper price than ever before. However, if the colonies paid the duty tax on the imported tea they would be acknowledging Parliament's right to tax them. Tea was a staple of colonial life - it was assumed that the colonists would rather pay the tax than deny themselves the pleasure of a cup of tea.
文章来源是：黑体字这块，我的理解是，英国国会给予了东印度公司卖茶叶给在美国的殖民者的垄断权，除此以为，国会还减少了殖民者进口茶叶的关税。-->也就是，在美国的殖民者必须要买东印度公司的茶叶，且茶叶很便宜。后面However以后我就不明白了，说，如果殖民者为进口的茶叶交了税，他们会让国会知道国会有权向他们征税。  我对这句话的理解对吗？duty是不是也有"税"的意思？如果我的理解对的话，这个办法clever在哪里了？这个办法到底要达到什么目的啊。

20. 【58-18-time4】
If the reader interjects that there must surely be large profits to be gained from the other players in the long run by a skilled individual who, unperturbed by the prevailing pastime, continues to purchase investments on the best genuine long-term expectations he can frame [THINK WARREN BUFFETT OR KEYNES HIMSELF, WHO WAS QUITE THE INVESTOR IN HIS DAY], he must be answered, first of all, that there are, indeed, such serious-minded individuals and that it makes a vast difference to an investment market whether or not they predominate in their influence over the game-players

21. 【58-18-time3】
This battle of wits to anticipate the basis of conventional valuation a few months hence, rather than the prospective yield of an investment over a long term of years, does not even require gulls amongst the public to feed the maws of the professional; — it can be played by professionals amongst themselves.
