On the contrary, every weakening in the propensity to consume regarded as a permanent habit must weaken the demand for capital as well as the demand for consumption.

相反，被视为永久习惯的消费倾向的每一次减弱都必然削弱对资本的需求以及对消费的需求。

I feel sure that the demand for capital is strictly limited in the sense that it would not be difficult to increase the stock of capital up to a point where its marginal efficiency had fallen to a very low figure.

我确信对资本的需求是严格限制的，因为不难将资本存量增加到其边际效率下降到非常低的水平。

If the market, which we are considering, is a small one-say a single town, or a single trade in a progressive country-an increased demand for capital in it will be promptly met by an increased supply drawn from surrounding districts or trades.

如果我们正在考虑的市场是一个小市场——比如一个城镇，或者一个进步国家的单一行业——对资本的增加需求将通过从周边地区或行业中增加供应而迅速得到满足。
