RONALD REAGAN： They just can't accept that their discredited policies of tax and tax； spend and spend； are at the root of our current problems。
里根：他们只是不能接受他们丧失了信用的税收和开支政策恰恰是通货问题的根源。
NARRATOR： Reagan's tax cuts； the biggest in history； led to huge deficits。 But the economy started to grow steadily again。
旁白：里根实行的历史上最大规模的减税导致了巨额财政赤字，但是经济开始再次稳步增长。
MILTON FRIEDMAN： There's no doubt in my mind that those actions of Reagan； lowering tax rates； plus his emphasis on deregulating unleashed the basic constructive forces of the free market； and from 1983 on； it's been almost entirely up。
弗里德曼：我毫不怀疑里根的那些措施－减税，再加上他强调取消管制，让自由市场基本的建设性力量发挥作用，所以从1983年至今，经济几乎一直在增长。
Chapter 17： War in the South Atlantic ＇1：41＇
第十七章：南大西洋上的战争
Onscreen title： Atlantic Ocean； 1982
字幕：大西洋，1982年
NARRATOR： Far away in the South Atlantic； a British expeditionary force was at sea。 Argentina had seized the Falkland Islands from Britain。 Margaret Thatcher risked a war to make the islands British once again。
旁白：一支英国远征军正在南大西洋上航行。阿根廷已经从英国手中夺取了福克兰群岛，而玛格丽特。撒切尔冒着打仗的风险也要把福克兰群岛夺回来。
Before the war her popularity was at rock bottom。 Victory in the Falklands ensured the survival of Margaret Thatcher's government。
战争之前，她的声望已经跌至谷底，但是福克兰群岛的胜利使得玛格丽特？撒切尔的政府避免了垮台的厄运。
CHARLES POWELL； Thatcher's Foreign Affairs Advisor； 19831991： The Falklands saved her。 The Falklands gave her a new lease on life to implement the policies on which she had embarked which were not yet producing results。 In effect； she gambled all on the Falklands； and she won decisively。 And that of course not only greatly bolstered her standing within the Tory Party； it bolstered her standing in the country； and it greatly enhanced her reputation internationally。
查尔斯。鲍威尔（CHARLES POWELL），撒切尔的外交事务顾问，1983－1991年：福克兰群岛拯救了她。福克兰群岛使她得以继续实行她那还未产生结果的政策。事实上，她在福克兰群岛问题上孤注一掷，结果她毫无疑问地胜利了。这不但极大支持了她在保守党内部的声望，而且也支持了她在整个国家的声望；另外也提高了她的国际威望。
NARRATOR： The Falklands War set her up politically to fight the final battle for the soul of the British economy。 The impact would be worldwide。
旁白：福克兰群岛战争在政治上为她提供与英国经济核心进行最终决战的武器；这种影响是世界范围的。
Chapter 18： The Heights Go Up for Sale ＇8：08＇
第十八章：出售制高点
NARRATOR： In 1945； Attlee's Labor government had nationalized the manding heights of the economy； bringing core industries into state ownership。 For Thatcherites； these state industries were now the primary target。
旁白：1945年，艾德礼的工党政府将经济的制高点国有化，把核心行业都收归国有。对撒切尔夫人的支持者来说这些国有企业是当前的主要目标。
JOHN REDWOOD； Head of Prime Minister's Policy Unit； 19831985： A whole lot of people who were left of center thought that nationalization was Britain's great gift to the world； and one of my phrases at the time was that having exported the disaster of nationalization to the world； Britain should offer them the antidote； it was the decent thing to do； to say we're very sorry； it didn't work。
JOHN REDWOOD，首相智囊团的首脑，1983－1985年：许多核心任务认为国有化是英国对世界的伟大贡献，那是我的一句惯用语就是那是向世界输出了国有化灾难，英国应该提供改正的方法。我们要做的是大方地说：我们很抱歉，那样是不对的。
MARGARET THATCHER （interviewed in 1993）： So the whole efficiency of nationalized industries was running down。 Why should they be efficient？ They had access to the Treasury purse。
撒切尔夫人（1993年访问）：这样看来国有行业的整体有效性丧失了。为什么它们应该有效率呢？他们可以拿到财政部的钱包。
NARRATOR： Thatcher wanted to end their dependence on government subsidies and submit them to the discipline of the marketplace。
旁白：撒切尔想要结束国有工业对政府补助的依赖，把它们放到市场上去锻炼。
JOHN REDWOOD： The nationalized industries fell to pieces。 They lost huge sums of money； they put the prices up massively and still weren't able to make a profit。 They were bleeding the nation dry； the taxpayer dry； and they weren't doing a good job for their customers。
JOHN REDWOOD：国有工业瓦解了。他们损失了数额巨大的钱财；他们太高了价格却仍然不能盈利。他们正在吸干国家和纳税人的血却没有为客户作任何有益的事情。
NARRATOR： The coal mines and the miners' union became Thatcher's biggest challenge。
旁白：煤矿和矿工工会是对撒切尔最大的挑战。
JOSEPH STANISLAW： The coal miners represented the last bastion of the socialist mindset in the UK。 One of the singularly most important economic/political events for the world economic system was Margaret Thatcher's government confrontation with the miners。
JOSEPH STANISLAW：煤矿工人象征着社会主义思想在英国的最后堡垒。世界经济制度中最异乎寻常地重要的经济/政治事件之一是玛格丽特？撒切尔的政府与煤矿工人之间面对面的对抗。
MARGARET THATCHER： We were quite clear： Uneconomic pits must close。 You could not go on pouring money into uneconomic pits。 It was taxpayers' money。
撒切尔夫人：我们非常清楚：赚不到钱的矿井必须关闭；你不能继续把钱投到不赚钱的矿井中去；那是纳税人的钱。
CECIL PARKINSON： If you look at our coal industry； the coal is very deep in the earth； it is hugely expensive to get out。
CECIL PARKINSON：如果你看看我们的煤矿工业，你会发现煤埋藏在地下很深的地方；把它们挖出来的代价非常高昂。
NARRATOR： Seventyfive percent of Britain's coal mines were losing money。 It took government subsidies of 3 billion a year to keep them going。 But these statistics were seen as irrelevant by men like Ken Capstick； one of the radical Socialists who led the miners' union。
旁白：75％的英国煤矿赔钱。为了维持它们运转政府每年要补贴30亿美元。但是这些统计数字在象Ken Capstick那样的人看来与主题无关，他是一个激进的社会主义者，领导着矿工工会。
KEN CAPSTICK； National Union of Miners： What they would say was that in America； for instance； coal produced at the pit head was cheaper than coal produced at the pit head here。
KEN CAPSTICK，全国矿工工会：他们要说的是美国产的煤，例如，比英国产的煤便宜。
NARRATOR： The union leaders argued that the
