Well , I appreciate the opportunity you`re giving me , Mr Cromwell······as the single largest shareholder in Teldar Paper, to speak. We are not here to indulge in fantasy, but in political and economic reality. America···America has become a second-rate power. Its trade deficit and its fiscal deficit are at nightmare proportions. In the days of the free market, when our country was a top industrial power, there was accountability to the stockholder.

感谢您给我这个说话的机会，康威先生。我是泰达最大的私人股东。各位，我们不是来此沉浸于幻想的，而是要环顾政治和经济的显示面。美国已经成为次等强权。它的贸易赤字和财政赤字仿佛是一场噩梦。想当初在那段自由市场的日子，我们还是顶尖的工业强国，股东的持股会受到经管的保护。

The Carnegies, Mellins, the men that built this great empire, made sure of it···because it was their money at stake. Today, management has no stake in the company! All together, these men sitting up here own less than 3% of the company. And where dose Mr Cromwell put his $1.000.000 salary? Not in Teldar stock. He owns less than 1%. You own the company. That`s right , you ,the stockholder. And you are all being royally screwed over by these bureaucrats, with their steak lunches, their fishing trips, their corporate jets and golden parachutes.

卡内基、梅隆及其后人会确保这个行业帝国的稳定，因为事关他们自己的钱。如今的管理阶层而言，公司的好坏与他们无关。这上面坐的人，只拥有不到3%公司的股票。他买的可不是泰达股票，他拥有的不到1%。拥有公司的是你们，没错，你们，股东。你们忠心耿耿，却被这些官僚拿来践踏，他们午餐花费公司的钱吃牛排，没事就有狩猎和钓鱼之旅。他们有公司专机，还有金降落伞规则保护。

This is an outrage! You`re out of line, Gekko! Teldar Paper, Mr Cromwell, has 33different vice presidents, each earning over $200.000 a year. Now , I have spent the last two months analysing what all these guys do . And I still can`t figure it out . One thing I do know is that our paper company lost $110m last year. And I`ll bet half of that was spent in all the paperwork between al these vice presidents!

岂有此理，你太过分了，盖克！泰达纸业，康威先生，泰达纸业共有33位副总裁。每个人的年薪都在20万以上。我花了2个月的时间来分析这些人到底在做什么？至今我仍然想不通，我唯一知道的一件事就是泰达在去年赔了一亿1000万。我打赌有一半的钱花在了这些副总裁之间的文书往来上！

The new law of evolution in corporate America···seems to be···survival of the unfittest. Well, in my book you either do it right, or you get eliminated. In the last seven deals, that I have been involved with there were 2.5m stockholders, who have made a pre-tax profit of $12 billion. Thank you.

美国企业的新法则似乎变成了不适者生存，而我的看法是：你要不就做对，要不就被消灭。在我最近做的七笔交易中，两百五十万持股人，在税前赚了一百二十亿元。谢谢各位。

I am not a destroyer of companies. I am a liberator of them ! The point is , ladies and gentlemen, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all its forms greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you very much.

我不是来毁灭公司的，我是来解放公司的。各位女士先生们，重点就在于——贪婪，抱歉我找不到更好的字，贪婪是好的，贪婪是对的，贪婪是有用的。贪婪可以理清一切，披荆斩棘直捣演化的本质。贪婪就是一切形式之所在。对于生活要贪婪，对于爱情，对于知识，贪婪是激发人类向上的动力。贪婪！你们记住我的话，不仅能挽救泰达纸业，更能挽救机制失调的美国。感谢各位！
