今天我在自己的 Gmail 郵箱 subscription 裏看到了 Quora 的郵件,我感覺其中的這個問題很有價值。對於每一個存在這個社會上的人,一般而言,考慮做什麼事往往是從自己的利益(not constrained to economic profit, also for short-time self-entertaining),我更希望各位能夠從如何成為一個更好的人出發,去仔細閱讀下面的一些回答。
我爭取能夠每2天至少更出一篇翻譯,due to limited time and full schedule!
Life as a citizen of a third world country. I'm not talking about an American with $10k in the bank and a college education who spends a year backpacking through Thailand. I'm talking about having little to no access to anything beyond a pre-K education, having little to no access to a consistent source of clean food, water, or medicine, and having little to no prospect of getting a job as an uneducated, malnourished blip on the UN's radar (something north of 3Billion people live this way). I was born into one of the most wealthy areas in the world during a time of great prosperity into an industry of constant innovation. But the dice rolls a different way and I'm riding around town with a goat on my back. I know of this alternate reality, but will never really know it.
去嘗試一個第三世界國家的公民的生活。我不是說一個銀行裏有1萬美元存款和大學文憑的美國人去泰國做一年的背包客。我說的是那些人們。他們除了幼兒園學前教育就沒有任何教育經歷,沒有穩定的清潔水源、食物和藥品供給。他們作為未受教育、在聯合國雷達(大約有30億人這樣生活)上屬於營養不良的羣體,就業毫無前景。我出生在一個工業持續創新的極度繁榮時期的世界上最富有的地區之一。然而,命運倒轉,現在我帶著背上的羊,騎行在小鎮周圍。我知道這種天翻地覆的現實,但卻從未瞭解過。
