哎,天才总是得不到赞美。好了,我们来听听记者汤姆贝特曼是怎么谈论贫富之门的。
In front of us here is a 20-storey building. Right about me I got tinted blue glass windows and balconies on every floor as you look from the street. And there is a very plush foyer.A sign in the window says ’luxurious penthouses with spectacular views.’
在我们面前是一栋20层的大楼。正对着可以看到蓝色的玻璃窗,每层都有阳台。门厅也很豪华。窗上的横幅写着“奢华顶层公寓,尊享视觉盛宴”。
But this is what the journalist Tom Bateman saw when he went around the other side of the same building.
接下来是他在大楼另一侧看到的场景。
So as you come down the side of the building, you can see the windows - quite small windows - of the flats above here - certainly no balconies. This is a big grey concrete wall and as you walk down an alleyway towards the other door.
当你来到大楼的另一侧,你可以看见窗户很小,也没有阳台。全部都是灰色的混凝土墙,沿着狭小的通道走,可以看见另一扇门。
So this building has one entrance with a plush - or expensive and luxurious - foyer. And foyer means entrance hall. Then there’s another entrance down an alleyway - or narrow passage between buildings.
所以这个大楼有一个豪华,或者说昂贵奢侈的门厅。门厅是指大堂。而沿着一条走廊,或者说狭窄的通道走到头就是另一个入口。
This entrance leads to flats with small windows and no balconies.Why’s that, Rob?
这个门通向那个窗口小又没有阳台的公寓。为什么会这样呢?
That’s because the alleyway entrance is the so-called ’poor door’. There’ no swanky foyer or tinted glass windows for these residentsbecause they pay less rent than the people living in the apartments at the front.
因为那个通道尽头的入口就是所谓的“贫穷之门”。没有时尚的门厅,没有带色的玻璃窗,因为他们所支付的租金比远远少于前面公寓的住户所支付的。
Swanky means something fashionable and expensive that is designed to impress people. And tinted glass is coloured glass - so people can’t look through your windows.
时髦的,意思是流行而昂贵的,为了让人们印象深刻而设计的。有色玻璃是指带色的玻璃窗,这样外人不能透过玻璃看到里面的情形。
That sounds useful! Do you have tinted glass windows, Neil?
这样的玻璃还是很有用的。你的公寓有没有安有色玻璃?
No, I don’t. Tinted sunglasses are all that I can afford. So what do people think about having a rich door and a poor door for the same building, Rob?
没有。我只能付得起带色的太阳镜。人们怎么看同一栋大楼有穷富两扇门?
Well, some people think it’s terrible.They say it’s segregation - or separation and different treatment of people - and I can’t believe the poor-door people put up with it really!
