The question, also, of the volume of the available resources, in the sense of the size of the employable population, the extent of natural wealth and the accumulated capital equipment, has often been treated descriptively.

可用资源的数量问题， 即就业人口的规模、自然财富的范围和积累的资本设备， 也经常被描述性地对待。

And so, if that is the case — and I believe descriptively it is the case more and more — then we are simply feeding people slippery slopes that end in themselves and their fears, and they are consuming them.

因此，如果是这样的话——我相信从描述上来说，这种情况越来越多——那么我们只是在给人们提供滑坡，最终导致他们自己和他们的恐惧，而他们正在吞噬它们。
