Tremendous progress has been made in science and technology, social welfare systems are in operation in many parts of the world, and big efforts have been made to increase public wealth.

科学技术取得巨大进步， 社会福利制度在世界许多地方运行， 公共财富显着增加。

The effort had been, for the older generation, exhausting, as one could see in the Hunts; but the generation after 1870 made more figure, not in proportion to public wealth or in the census, but in their own self-assertion.

对于老一辈人来说，这种努力是令人筋疲力尽的，正如人们在狩猎中所看到的那样。但是 1870 年之后的一代创造了更多的数字，不是与公共财富或人口普查成比例，而是与他们自己的自我主张有关。
