dissipation

基本解釋

First, rent dissipation does not exist in a one-man economy; second, cost is the highest-valued option forgone –– in this case the land rents of almond tree cultivation forgone.
一方麪，租值消散不會在一人世界發(fā)生；另一方麪，成本（這裡指費用）是最高的代價——的黎波裡的畜牧代價是種植杏仁樹的土地租值。
In my view, competition for the use of scarce resources must be restrained for social survival, because rent dissipation under unrestrained competition would result in starvation for all.
我的看法，是資源使用的競爭一定要受到約束，人類才可以生存，因爲沒有約束的競爭必然帶來的租值消散，會滅絕人類。
I have always been doubtful that there have ever existed valuable resources subjected to unrestrained common exploitation, but assuming this to be true, dissipation of land rent is implied.
有價值的資源毫無約束地讓公衆(zhòng)使用的現象曾否出現過，我歷來懷疑，但假設真有其事，租值消散是傚果。

People also engage in dissipation, distraction, and rationalization to relieve the discomfort of pressure.
