Is the market a place? Or a thing? Neither, really. It's a concept. If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale, you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbor and some in your little stand by the roadside and some to the manager of the local supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. Your efforts are being directed by the market. If people sTOP buying tomatoes, you will sTOP producing them. If you mow1 lawns to earn money, you are producing a service for the market. If your father a steelworker or a bricklayer or a truck driver or a dentist or a grocer, he is producing goods or services for the market. 市场是一个地方吗？是一样东西吗？都不是，真的。市场是一个定义。假如你在自己家里的后院种番茄供应，你是在给市场提供商品。你可以将一些蔬菜卖给邻居，将一些蔬菜摆在路边的小摊上供应，将一些蔬菜卖给当地超级市场的经理，在任何一种状况下，你都是在给市场提供商品。你的努力都是在市场的引导下作出的。假如大家不买你的番茄，你就不会种番茄。假如你割草赚钱，你是在为市场提供劳务。假如你爸爸是钢铁工人，或者是瓦匠，或者是卡车司机，或者是牙医，或者是开食品杂货店的，他也正在给市场提供产品或者劳务。When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market. You may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas stations, and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck, he is buying your labor2 in the labor market.当你烧钱时，你是在市场上购购物。你可以在商店、超级市场、气站和饭店烧钱，你还是在市场上购购物。当当地的杂货店雇你开送货车，他是在劳动力市场上购买你的劳动。The market may seem to be a fuzzy sort of thing. But for each person （or business） who is making and selling something, it's very real. If nobody buys your tomatoes, it won't be long before you get the message. The market is telling you something. It's telling you that you are using your energies and resources in doing something the market doesn't want you to do.市场好像是一种含糊不清的东西，但，对一个正在生产厂家品的人（或一家企业），它是实实在在的。假如哪个也不买你的番茄，无需很久你就会得到信息。市场在对你说一些道理，他在告诉你，你做事所花的精力和用的资源是市场上所无需的。
