　　We have no idea why it works, no idea at all. 我们不知道，为什么它那么高效，根本不知道。

　　And the moment you step back from the God complex -- let's just try to have a bunch of stuff; 当你不再认为自己有万能神力——而是开始尝试一些东西；
　　let's have a systematic 1 way of determining what's working and what's not -- you can solve your problem. 用一个系统的办法来决定什么办法行什么办法不行，你就能解决你的问题。
　　Now this process of trial and error is actually far more common in successful institutions than we care to recognize. 这个过程就是试验和排除错误的过程，事实上这是成功机构的一个很大的共性，只是我们认识得很不够。
　　And we've heard a lot about how economies function. 我们听过很多经济是如何运作的言论。
　　The U.S. economy is still the world's greatest economy. 美国的经济仍然是世界上最好的经济体。
　　How did it become the world's greatest economy? 它怎么变成世界上最好的经济体的呢？
　　I could give you all kinds of facts and figures about the U.S. economy, 我可以给你很多事实和数字，关于美国经济的。
　　but I think the most salient one is this: ten percent of American businesses disappear every year. 但是我想最突出的是这点：每年10%的美国企业会消失。
　　That is a huge failure rate. It's far higher than the failure rate of, say, Americans. 这是很高的失败率。这个失败率比美国人的失败率要高。
　　Ten percent of Americans don't disappear every year. 美国人并没有以10%的比率每年消失。
　　Which leads us to conclude American businesses fail faster than Americans, and therefore American businesses are evolving faster than Americans. 所以我们可以总结说，美国企业比美国人消失得更快。因此，美国企业比美国人进化得要快。
　　And eventually, they'll have evolved to such a high peak of perfection 2 that they will make us all their pets -- 而最终，他们进化到了完美的顶端，他们会把我们都变成他们的宠物——
　　if, of course, they haven't already done so. I sometimes wonder. 如果，他们还没有这么做的话，我有时会想。
　　But it's this process of trial and error that explains this great divergence 3, this incredible 4 performance of Western economies. 但是试验和排除错误的过程，解释了这巨大的差异，西方经济的出色的表现。
　　It didn't come because you put some incredibly smart person in charge. It's come through trial and error. 它的发生不是因为你让一些特别聪明的人掌管了一切。它是从试试验和排除错误中得来的。
