Well, in this programme we’re talking about wealth. The world is getting richer, Harry.
今天节目我们要探讨的是财富。这个世界是越来越富裕了
Really? How come?
真的吗?怎么会?
Well, according to recent data, the number of people living in extreme poverty has halved in recent decades. More people own a car and a mobile phone.
根据最新数据,极度贫困的人口在近十几年来缩减了一半。拥有私家车和手机的人也越来越多了。
So, that’s all very good news. More people can have a good standard of living – standard of living is what we call the amount of money and quality of life people have in a particular society.
所以,这是好消息啊。越来越多的人享有更好的生活水平——生活水平是指我们说的在某一特定社会人们拥有的金钱数量和生活质量。
People in general may have a better life but there’s still a lot of inequality in different countries. Inequality - in other words some people have a lot of money and opportunities and others just don’t.
一般来说人们的生活是越来越好,但是在各国仍然存在许多不公平现象。不公平——换句话说就是一些人有许多金钱和机会,而另一些人没有。
So, individual governments have to find a way of reducing this inequality, to allow more people to have the opportunity to improve their lives.
所以各国政府要采取措施减少不公平现象,使更多的人有机会提高他们的生活质量。
Yes. In this programme we‘re talking about the gap between rich and poor and you’ll learn some words which will help you discuss this topic or read about it in the news. And now our quiz, Harry.
正是如此。今天我们还要讨论贫富差距问题,你也可以学习到一些新词,帮助你理解这一主题或阅读与之相关的新闻。现在是我们的小测试时间,哈里。
Ah, the legendary quiz! I’m ready!
哈哈,传说中的测试!我准备好了!
Good. Right. A recent report by Oxfam and Credit Suisse revealed how divided we all are when it comes to wealth. A lot of the wealth in the world is in the hands of very few people. That’s what I’m going to ask you about, Harry. How much of the global wealth is owned by the richest 1%? Is it:a)38%b)48% orc) 58%
好。牛津饥荒救济委员会和瑞士信贷最近发布的报告显示了贫富的巨大差距。世界的大部分财富掌握在少数人手中。问题来了,哈里。请问这1%的富人掌握了世界多少财富呢?a) 38%b) 48% c) 58%
Well, it’s only 1% of the population, so I would have to guess the lower one, 38%. Surely they can’t own more than that!
只有1% 的人口,那我猜应该是最少的一个选项吧,38%。他们肯定不能掌握太多财富。
Well, we’ll see if you got the right answer at the end of the programme. Now, let’s talk about rich and poor.As we said, experts have concluded that more people are living better when you look at the world as a whole, but in individual countries you can find people with hardly anything to eat…
在节目的最后我们再看你的选择是否正确。现在,我们来谈谈贫富问题。正如我们之前所说,专家得出的结论是如果从整体来看,越来越多的人过上了更好的生活。但是各国仍然有很多人食不果腹。
…and others with lots of houses, cars, land and so on… So, Rob, how can this situation be reversed?
而其他人则拥有很多房子、车子、土地等等???那么,罗伯,这个情况该如何扭转呢?
Well, David Bryer from Oxfam mentions a country which has achieved some success in trying to make the poor less poor. He is talking about Brazil. Listen to what Bryer says and tell me: what are the two words he uses meaning ‘the least money people are paid for the work they do’?
牛津饥荒救济委员会的大卫.布莱尔提到有一个国家成功缓解了穷人的贫困状况。那就是巴西.听听布莱尔是怎么说的,然后告诉我他用来表示人们付出劳动所获得的最低收入是用的哪两个词?
