   What is true and the reason that a lot of Americans feel anxious is that the economy has been changing in profound 1 ways, changes that started long before the Great Recession 2 hit and changes that have not let up.


  实际情况——同时也是许多美国人感到焦虑的原因——是美国经济正在经历巨大变革,而且这变革早在大萧条发生之前就已经开始,到现在还没有结束。
  Today, technology doesn't just replace jobs on the assembly line, but any job where work can be automated 3.

  All these trends have squeezed workers, even when they have jobs; even when the economy is growing.
  这些变化趋势挤压了雇员的生存空间,即使他们拥有工作,即使美国经济一直在增长。
  It's made it harder for a hardworking family to pull itself out of poverty, harder for young people to start on their careers, and tougher for workers to retire when they want to.
  工薪家庭想要通过努力工作,摆脱贫困,年轻人想要开创自己的事业,雇员想要适时退休,都已经不太容易。
  And although none of these trends are unique to America, they do offend our uniquely American belief that everybody who works hard should get a fair shot.
  虽然面临这些变革的不只有美国,但是这些的确违背了独有的美国式信念,那就是,任何努力工作的人都应当得到公平待遇。
  For the past seven years, our goal has been a growing economy that also works better for everybody.

  We've made progress. But we need to make more.

  And despite all the political arguments we've had these past few years, there are some areas where Americans broadly agree.
  尽管在过去的一些年中,我们有过许多政治上的争论,但是在一些领域,我们取得了普遍的共识。
