rising tide lifts all boats

Furthermore, as the engine of South America, it can be said a rising tide lifts all boats.

此外，作为南美洲的发动机，它可以说，水涨所有船。

That was really no different from John F. Kennedy’s idea that a rising tide lifts all boats.

这与约翰·肯尼迪的潮起抬高所有船的观点真是无独有偶。

The political consensus, therefore, has sought to pursue economic growth rather than the redistribution of income, in keeping with John Kennedy's adage that "a rising tide lifts all boats."

由此，美国政界达成共识，与其探究如何对收入加以重新分配，还不如追求经济总量的增长，这也符合约翰·肯尼迪的名言“一潮起而百船升”。
