2017年1月27日,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普签署了一份名为“阻止外国恐怖分子进入美国的国家保护计划”的行政命令。这份行政令要求,未来90天内,禁止伊拉克、叙利亚、伊朗、苏丹、索马里、也门和利比亚等七国公民入境美国。因为所涉七国均为穆斯林为主要人口的国家,因此这份行政命令也被媒体和民间团体称为“禁穆令”。

Executive Order 13769, titled Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States was an executive order issued by United States President Donald Trump in effect, except to the extent blocked by various courts, from January 27, 2017, until March 16, 2017, when it was superseded by Executive Order 13780. Executive Order 13769 lowered the number of refugees to be admitted into the United States in 2017 to 50,000, suspended the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) for 120 days, suspended the entry of Syrian refugees indefinitely, directed some cabinet secretaries to suspend entry of those whose countries do not meet adjudication standards under U.S. immigration law for 90 days, and included exceptions on a case-by-case basis. Homeland Security lists these countries as Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. More than 700 travelers were detained, and up to 60,000 visas were "provisionally revoked".

59、裙带关系(Nepotism):

原本指靠自己妻子或其他女性亲属的关系而获得官职,后来,把因血亲、姻亲和密友关系而获得政治、经济上的利益(包括庇护、提拔和奖赏等),都叫做裙带关系。

Nepotism is based on favour granted to relatives in various fields, including business, politics, entertainment, sports, religion and other activities.

60、“金德尔伯格陷阱”(Kindleberger Trap):

由马歇尔计划的天才构想者,后执教于麻省理工学院的查尔斯•金德尔伯格提出。他认为,20世纪30年代的灾难起源于美国取代英国成为全球最大强权(the US replacing Britain as the largest global power),但又未能像英国一样承担起提供全球公共产品的责任(failing to take on Britain's role in providing public goods)。这样的结果是全球体系崩溃,陷入萧条、种族灭绝和世界大战。(无英文定义)

61、“圣安德烈”勋章(the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle):

是俄罗斯的最高勋章(the highest order of the Russian Federation),1698年由彼得一世设立,1917年,该勋章停用;1998年恢复使用,是俄罗斯最高荣誉的象征。

The Order of St. Andrew the Apostle the First-Called is the highest order of the Russian Federation. Established as the first and highest order of chivalry of the Russian Empire in 1698, it was abolished under the USSR before being re-established as the top Russian order in 1998.

62、长臂管辖(long-arm jurisdiction):

其实是源自美国的一个法律用语。美国司法长期奉行的“长臂管辖权”(Long Arm Jurisdiction),是指“当被告人的住所不在法院地州,但和该州有某种最低联系,而且所提权利要求的产生已和这种联系有关时,就该项权利要求而言,该州对于该被告人具有属人管辖权,可以在州外对被告人发出传票”。通俗来讲就是:“哪怕你不在我这个州,但只要你的行为与我有最低联系,我也能够管你。”后用于中国外交部发言人指责美国威胁对与朝鲜有往来的公司采取报复性措施或者制裁一事。

Long-arm jurisdiction is the ability of local courts to exercise jurisdiction over foreign ("foreign" meaning out of jurisdiction, whether a state, province, or nation) defendants, whether on a statutory basis or through a court's inherent jurisdiction (depending on the jurisdiction). This jurisdiction permits a court to hear a case against a defendant and enter a binding judgment against a defendant residing outside the jurisdiction concerned.At heart, the constraints on long arm jurisdiction are concepts of international law, and the principle that one country ought not exercise state power over the territory of another unless some recognized exception applies. In municipal law, the authority of a court to exercise long-arm jurisdiction must be based upon some action of the defendant which subjects him or her to the jurisdiction of the court.

63、“替代国”做法(the surrogate country approach):

指世贸组织成员国在计算反倾销税(anti-dumping duty)幅度时,如果认定商品的出口国为非市场经济国家(non-market economy),则引用与出口国经济发展水平大致相当的第三方市场经济国家,即替代国(surrogate country)的成本等数据计算正常价值并进而确定倾销幅度,施以对应的征税措施。

Under the surrogate country approach, WTO members use costs of production in a third country to calculate the value of products from countries on its "non-market economy" list, which includes China. The practice allows countries to easily levy high tariffs in trade disputes.In accordance with Article 15 of the accession protocol signed when China joined the WTO in 2001, the surrogate country approach expires on December 11, 2016.

64、里斯本条约第50条(Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty on European Union):

是《里斯本条约》的一部分,2009年由所有欧盟成员国签署成法律,提供成员国脱离欧盟的正式机制。条文重点是成员国一旦启动第50条,如果没达成一致协议同意延长协商时间,则将在通知后2年内退出欧盟。这意味着英国将在2019年4月脱离欧盟。

Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union is a part of European Union law that sets out the process by which member states may withdraw from the European Union. Once Article 50 is triggered, there is a two-year time limit to complete negotiations. If negotiations do not result in a ratified agreement, the seceding country and EU would follow World Trade Organisation rules on tariffs.This article was used for the first and so far only time by the United Kingdom on 29 March 2017.

65、白人至上主义(white supremacy):

是一种种族分子的形态意识,其主张白色人种族裔优越于其他族裔。理念是白人至上,余皆劣种。

White supremacy is the theory or belief that White people are innately superior to people of other races.

66、降落伞儿童(parachute children):

降落伞儿童(小留学生)指那些被送到另一个国家独自生活,或者有人照顾起居的孩子,而他们的父母仍留在本国国内。

67、灰犀牛(grey rhino):

指概率极大、冲击力极强却被忽视的风险。灰犀牛不是随机的突发事件,而是一系列预警和明显征兆之后爆发出来的问题。

"Grey rhino” refers to a highly probable, high impact yet neglected threat. Grey rhinos are not random surprises, but problems that break out after a series of warnings and visible evidence.

68、马太效应(Matthew Effect):

指强者愈强、弱者愈弱的现象,广泛应用于社会心理学、教育、金融以及科学领域。马太效应,是社会学家和经济学家们常用的术语,反映的社会现象是两极分化,富的更富,穷的更穷。

The "Matthew effect" denotes the phenomenon that "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer" and can be observed in various different contexts where "rich" and "poor" can take different meanings. The effect takes its name from a line spoken by "the Master" in Jesus' parable of the talents in the biblical Gospel of Matthew: "For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath." (Matthew XXV:29, King James Version.)

69、羊群效应(Herd Effect/Herd behavior):

“羊群效应”也称“从众心理”,在资本市场上,“羊群效应”是指在一个投资群体中,单个投资者总是根据其他同类投资者的行动而行动,在他人买入时买入,在他人卖出时卖出。

Herd behavior describes how individuals in a group can act collectively without centralized direction. The term can refer to the behavior of animals in herds, packs, bird flocks, fish schools and so on, as well as the behavior of humans in demonstrations, riots and general strikes, sporting events, religious gatherings, episodes of mob violence and everyday decision-making, judgement and opinion-forming.

70、禀赋效应(endowment effect):

指当个人一旦拥有某项物品,那么他对该物品价值的评价要比未拥有之前大大增加。它是由RichardThaler(1980)提出的。这一现象可以用行为金融学中的“损失厌恶”理论来解释,该理论认为一定量的损失给人们带来的效用降低要多过相同的收益给人们带来的效用增加。因此人们在决策过程中对利害的权衡是不均衡的,对“避害”的考虑远大于对“趋利”的考虑。出于对损失的畏惧,人们在出卖商品时往往索要过高的价格。

In psychology and behavioral economics, the endowment effect (also known as divestiture aversion and related to the mere ownership effect in social psychology) is the hypothesis that people ascribe more value to things merely because they own them.

71、零和博弈 zero-sum game:

又称零和游戏,属非合作博弈。指参与博弈的各方,在严格竞争下,一方的收益必然意味着另一方的损失,博弈各方的收益和损失相加总和永远为“零”,双方不存在合作的可能。

In game theory and economic theory, a zero-sum game is a mathematical representation of a situation in which each participant's gain or loss of utility is exactly balanced by the losses or gains of the utility of the other participants. If the total gains of the participants are added up and the total losses are subtracted, they will sum to zero.

72、心理账户理论 (theory of mental accounting):

心理账户是芝加哥大学行为科学教授理查德·萨勒(Richard Thaler)提出的概念。他认为,除了荷包这种实际账户外,在人的头脑里还存在着另一种心理账户。人们会把在现实中客观等价的支出或收益在心理上划分到不同的账户中。比如,我们会把工资划归到靠辛苦劳动日积月累下来的“勤劳致富”账户中;把年终奖视为一种额外的恩赐,放到“奖励”账户中;而把买彩票赢来的钱,放到“天上掉下的馅饼”账户中。

A concept first named by Richard Thaler, mental accounting (or psychological accounting) attempts to describe the process whereby people code, categorize and evaluate economic outcomes. People may have multiple mental accounts for the same kind of resource. A person may use different monthly budgets for grocery shopping and eating out at restaurants, for example, and constrain one kind of purchase when its budget has run out while not constraining the other kind of purchase, even though both expenditures draw on the same fungible resource (income).

74、助推理论(Nudge theory):

“助推”(Nudge)一词在英文中的原意为“用肘轻推以引起某人的注意”。2008年行为经济学家理查德·泰勒(Richard Thaler)和法学家卡斯·桑斯坦(Cass Sunstein)以“助推”命名,出版《助推:如何做出有关健康、财富与幸福的最佳决策》(Nudge:Improving Decisions About Health,Wealth,and Happiness)一书,正式提出助推理论。在该书中,作者将人们在选择时的背景环境称之为“选择架构”(choice architecture),而“助推”则指任何不采用禁止或是明显的经济刺激方式,却能影响人们行为向可预见方向发展的选择架构导向。这也就是说,“助推”旨在影响人们的选择,而不是强制人们必须选择,因而,典型的助推只是对选择架构的改变,而人们在选择时必须有充分的自由而且能轻而易举地免受这种改变的影响。

Nudge theory (or nudge) is a concept in behavioural science, political theory and economics which proposes positive reinforcement and indirect suggestions to try to achieve non-forced compliance to influence the motives, incentives and decision making of groups and individuals. The claim is that nudges are at least as effective, if not more effective, than direct instruction, legislation, or enforcement. The concept has influenced British and American politicians. Several nudge units exist around the world at the federal level (UK, Germany, Japan and others) as well as at the international level (OECD, World Bank, UN).

75、独裁者博弈(dictator game):

对最后通牒博弈进行修改,取消响应者对提议者(分配者)所提要求的否决权,那么,这个分配者就可以被叫作“独裁者”。这种严格不平等条件下的谈判博弈被称为“独裁者博弈”。在这里,响应者没有拒绝的选择,主要是考察提议者(独裁者)如何分配。

The dictator game is an experimental paradigm in psychology, similar to the ultimatum game, first developed by Daniel Kahneman and colleagues. Experimental results offer evidence against the rationally self-interested individual (sometimes called the homo economicus) concept of economic behavior, though precisely what to conclude from the evidence is controversial.
