翻译：
Some global trade is about bringing in something that you simply can't find at home. This is a decreasing category of trade, since technology and population movement makes it possible to produce most products almost anywhere on Earth. However, history has been powerfully shaped by trade for access, such as when European merchants would literally cross the globe for spices that only grew in Asia.
Brave men and women once died to bring black pepper to English dinner tables. Today's equivalent might be a college sophomore hoping to sneak through customs on his way back from Amsterdam.
部分全球贸易体现为：给你带来一些在国内没有的产品。而这种贸易类型在不断减少，因为技术和人口流动，几乎任何地方都有可能生产出大多数产品。然而，这种贸易也曾造就了历史，比如欧洲商人为了亚洲才有的香料而横跨整个地球。
勇敢的人们，也曾为了把黑胡椒带到英国人的餐桌上而牺牲。而今天会发生的类似事件可能是：一个大二学生希望从阿姆斯特丹回来，而选择偷渡。
