Mr Hawtrey, for example, who attaches great importance to changes in liquid capital, i.e. to undesigned increments (or decrements) in the stock of unsold goods, has suggested a possible definition of investment from which such changes are excluded.

例如，Hawtrey 先生非常重视流动资本的变化，即未售出商品存量的意外增加（或减少），他提出了一个可能的投资定义，将此类变化排除在外。
