Notes [ 1 ] These examples show why it's a mistake to assume that economic inequality must be evidence of some kind of brokenness or unfairness. It's obvious that different people have different interests, and that some interests yield far more money than others, so how can it not be obvious that some people will end up much richer than others? In a world where some people like to write enterprise software and others like to make studio pottery, economic inequality is the natural outcome. [ 2 ] Difficulty choosing between interests is a different matter. That's not always due to ignorance. It's often intrinsically difficult. I still have trouble doing it. [ 3 ] You can't always take people at their word on this.

白话
注释里补充了几点。第一，经济不平等不一定是制度坏了或不公平。不同人有不同兴趣，有些兴趣赚钱多，有些赚钱少，自然结果就是有人更富。比如有人爱写企业软件，有人爱做陶艺，收入差距是正常的。第二，难以在兴趣间做选择，不一定是无知，很多时候是本质上就难，作者自己也还在纠结。第三，别人嘴上说的兴趣，不能全信，得看他们实际怎么做。
上下文
这是文章的注释部分，格雷厄姆回应了关于经济不平等、选择困难和口头兴趣的常见疑问。
今日一问
你判断别人的兴趣时，是听他们说的，还是看他们做的？
