1. Translate the marked part of the text:
(1) To supply goods and services to the market you need more than ambition. No matter how large a business is or who owns it, all businesses confront one central fact: it costs something to produce goods. To produce corn, a farmer needs land, water, seed, equipment, and labor. To produce fillings, a dentist needs a chair, a drill, some space, and labor. Even the “production” of educational services (e.g. this economic class) requires the use of labor (your teacher), land (on which the school is built), and some capital (the building and blackboard). In short, unless you are producing unrefined, unpackaged air, you need factors of production – that is , resources that can be used to produce a good or service.
(2) The factors of production used to produce a good or service provide the basic measure of economic cost. The costs of your economic class, for example, are measured by the amounts of land, labor, and capital it requires. These are resource costs of production.
