But other desires kept them active : four in particular , which we can label acquisitiveness , rivalry , vanity , and love of power .
但是其他欲望让他们保持积极,尤其是可标签于这四种:占有,竞争,虚荣以及对权力的热爱.
I think acquisitiveness is a very fine quality .
我认为贪得之心是一种非常好的品德。
But acquisitiveness although it is the mainspring of the capitalist system is by no means the most powerful of the motives that survive the conquest of hunger .
但是占有欲,虽然是资本主义系统下的主要发动机,但并不意味着是出于克服饥饿而产生的最大动机。
But whatever the psychoanalysis of acquisitiveness , no one can deny that it is one of the great motives especially among the more powerful , for , as I said before , it is one of the infinite motives .
Or in order to prove the rationality and necessity of the capitalist form of society , scholars have tried to make a case for acquisitiveness , competitiveness , and selfishness as innate human traits .
为了证明资本主义社会形式的理性和必要性,学者们试图将获取性,竞争性和自私性作为人的内在特征。
What is more urgent is that , as human beings , everyone of us has to think , act and live in a totally different way that is not based on aggression , acquisitiveness and the predatory instinct that man has inherited .
But whatever may be the psychoanalysis of acquisitiveness , no one can deny that it is one of the great motives - especially among the more powerful , for , as I said before , it is one of the infinite motives .
