翻譯下這段吧

Any sensible business has a balance-sheet that tracks all of its assets and liabilities. But governments do not. A growing number of economists argue that gross domestic product (GDP), a single number that guides a plethora of policies but counts only income flows, is too narrow—especially when it comes to the environment. No national measurement exists to tally the full economic costs of depleting America’s natural assets.

任何明智的企業都有一份追蹤其所有資産和負債的資産負債表。但是政府卻沒有。越來越多的經濟學家認為，國内生産總值(GDP),一個指導大量政策，但隻計算收入流的單一數字過于狹窄——尤其是在環境方面。現在沒有全國性的衡量标準來計算耗盡美國自然資産的全部經濟成本。

The Biden administration wants to change that. Last month the White House unveiled a 15-year plan for an ambitious—albeit wonkish—environmental initiative. Its Office of Science and Technology Policy and a dozen other government agencies aim to develop natural-capital accounts that record changes in America’s stock of natural resources, and quantify losses. Armed with new data, they plan to create a single statistic, alongside GDP, that rates how the country’s resources are faring.

拜登政府希望改變這一點。上個月，白宮推出一項盡管有點古怪但雄心勃勃的15年環境倡議計劃。其科技政策辦公室和其他十幾個政府機構旨在開發自然資本賬戶，記錄美國自然資源存量的變化，量化損失。借助新數據，他們計劃納入GDP數據創建一個單一的統計數據，評估該國資源的狀況。
