I was declaiming on various subjects

我当时特别喜欢就所有问题发表看法
with a certain lack of reticence

而且我管不住自己的嘴
that perhaps was not commensurate with my lack of knowledge.

这和我粗浅的知识水平很不想称
I asserted some proposition

一次我发表了一个观点
and Paul Samuelson turned to me and he said,

然后保罗·萨缪尔森转过来对我说
Larry I just wrote a eulogy for Art Okun, who died recently,

拉里我为刚刚过世的亚特·奥肯写了一篇文章
and I said that in all the years that I had known Art Okun,

里面提到在我认识他的这么多年里
Art Okun had never said a stupid thing.

他从来都没有发表过任何愚蠢的看法
Well Larry, now I won't be able to say that about you.

但是对你我可就不敢这么说了
One of the things that gives me particular pleasure in,

有一件特别让我觉得开心的事
along with Greg Mankiw,

就是和格雷格·曼昆一起
taking over the editorship of the Brookings Papers

从比尔·布雷纳德和乔治·佩里手中
