Hey guys.

你們好

I am so sorry, Adam.

Wait, is he teaching you something?

等等，他在教你什麼嗎？

Oh, no, we are the examples this time.

哦，不，這次我們就是例子。

First, let's define economic value.

首先，讓我們來定義經濟價值。

I'd rather drown.

我寧願淹死

The value of an object is the maximum amount that its owner would be willing to pay for it.

物品的價值是物品所有者願意為其支付的最高金額。

Or simply put how much it's worth to.

或者簡單地說，它值多少錢。

You, add all these amounts together and that's the total value of everything you've bought.

將所有這些金額加在一起，就是您所購買的所有物品的總價值。

I see that giant cardboard cut out of the rock is worth 100 bucks to you.

我看那塊巨大的紙板切割岩石對你來說值 100 美元。

Oh, yeah.

哦，是的

But I only paid 50 for it.

但我只花了 50 美元。

Well, if it's worth 100 to you and you only paid 50 then in economic terms when you bought it, you literally created $50 in value.

好吧，如果它對你來說值 100 美元，而你只花了 50 美元，那麼從經濟學角度看，當你買下它時，你實際上創造了 50 美元的價值。

You're 50 bucks reacher.

你是50塊錢的達人

Oh, I feel wealthy.

哦，我覺得自己很富有。

Let's go to Vegas.

But what does this have to do with gift giving a whole lot actually?

但這和送禮有什麼關係呢？

Oh, who is that coming down?

Wow.

哇

Way less exciting.

Hey, Adam.

嘿 亞當

Hey, Joel.

嘿，喬爾。

Would you mind explaining to my sister Rio what the economic problem with gift giving is?

你能不能向我妹妹里奧解釋一下送禮的經濟問題是什麼？

Sure when we buy gifts, we do so with the best of intentions.

當然，我們買禮物的初衷是好的。

But while we're really good at knowing what we like, we're pretty terrible at guessing what other people would value.

雖然我們很擅長了解自己喜歡什麼，但卻不擅長猜測別人會看重什麼。

Oh, this is great.

太棒了

What, what's wrong?

怎麼了？

Well, usually I wear wrestling tank tops so I can show off my Jack's triceps, but it's the thought that counts.

好吧，通常我穿摔跤背心是為了炫耀我的傑克三頭肌，但最重要的是我的想法。

Not economically.

Emily, how much would you pay for this shirt?

艾米麗，你願意花多少錢買這件襯衫？

I'll wear it to bed.

我會穿著它睡覺。

So, I guess like, I don't know, 15 bucks I paid 50.

所以，我想，我不知道，15塊錢，我花了50塊。

Well, Merv, you just destroyed $35 worth of value.

梅爾夫，你剛剛毀掉了價值 35 美元的東西。

He might as well have set it on fire.

他還不如一把火燒了它。

No, no, no, no, no.

不，不，不，不，不。
