台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是:
Not surprisingly, Mexico lacks a substantial middle class. It seems that people live either on one end of the spectrum or the other. This inequality is markedly worse for citizens when there is a change in administration - every 6 years or so.
不难想见,墨西哥社会缺少中产阶级,人民的贫富状况两极分化,要不就是非常富有、要不就是很贫穷。这种贫富不均的状况,对于墨西哥的人民们来说,在政权改变时更显恶化,这样的改变大概每六年会有一次。
