新编英语教程 5 Unit 1 背景知识之flaubert
About the AuthorFrench novelist of the realist school, best-known for Madame Bovary(1857), a story of adultery and unhappy love affair of the provincial wife Emma Bovary. As a writer Flaubert was a perfectionist, who did not make a distinction between a beautiful or ugly subject: all was in the style. "The Idea," he wrote, "exists only by virtue of its form" - its elements included the perfect word, cunningly contrived and verified rhythms, and a genuine architectural structure."Has it ever happened to you," Leon went on, "to come across some vagueidea of one's own in a book, some dim image that comes back to you fromafar, and as the completest expression of your own slightest sentiment?""I have experienced it," she replied."That is why," he said, "I especially love the poets. I think verse moretender than prose, and that it moves far more easily to tears." (fromMadame Bovary)Gustave Flaubert was born in Rouen into a family of doctors. His father, Achille-Cléophas Flaubert, was a chief surgeon at th e Rouen municipal hospital, who made money investing in land. Flaubert's mother,Anne-Justine-Caroline (née Fleuriot), was the daughter of a physician, and she became the most important person in his life. This bourgeois background Flaubert found early burdensome. His rebel against it led to his expulsion from school, and Flaubert completed his education privately in Paris.Flaubert started to write during his school years. A disappointment in his teens - Flaubert fell in love with Elisa Schlésinger, who wa s married and some 10 years his senior - inspired much of his early writing. In the 1840s Flaubert studied law at Paris, a brief episode in his life, and in 1844 he had a nervous attack. "I was cowardly in my youth," Flaubert wrote once to George Sand. "I was afraid of life." He recognized from suffering a nervous disease, although it could have been epilepsy. However, the diagnosis changed Flaubert's life. He failed his law exams and decided to devote himself to literature. In this he was helped by his father who bought him a house at Croisset, on the River Seine between Paris and Rouen.In 1846 Flaubert met the writer Louise Colet. They corresponded regularly and she became Flaubert's mistress although they met infrequently. Colet gave in Lui (1859) her account of their relationship. After the death of both his father and his married sister, Flaubert moved at Croisset, the family's country home near Rouen. Until he was 50 years old, Flaubert lived with his mother. The household also included his niece Caroline. His maximwas: "Be regular and orderly in your life like a bourgeois, so that you may be violent and original in your work."Although Flaubert once stated ''I am a bear and want to remain a bear in my den,'' he kept good contacts to Paris and witnessed the Revolution of 1848. Later he received honors from Napoleon III. From 1856 Flaubert spent winters in Paris.Flaubert's relationship with Collet ended in 1855. From November 1849 to April 1851 he travelled with the writer Maxime du Camp in North Africa, Syria, Turkey, Greece, and Italy. It took several Egyptian guides to help Flaubert to the top of the Great Pyramid - the author was at that time very fat. On his return Flaubert started Madame Bovary, which took five years to complete. It appeared first in the Revue(1856) and in book form next year. The realistic depiction of adultery was condemned as offensive to morality and religion. Flaubert was prosecuted, though he escaped conviction, which was not a common result during the official censorship of the Second Empire. When Baudelaire's collection of verse, The Flowers of Evil, was brought before the same judge, Baudelaire was fined.Madame Bovary was published in two volumes in 1857, but it appeared originally in the Revue de Paris, 1856-57. - Emma Bovary is married to Charles Bovary, a physician. As a girl Emma has read Walter Scott, she has romantic dreams and longs for adventure. "What exasperated her was that Charles did not seem to notice her anguish. His conviction that he was making her happy seemed to her an imbecile insult, and his sureness on this point ingratitude. For whose sake, then was she virtuous? Was it not for him, the obstacle to all felicity, the cause of all misery, and, as it were, the sharp clasp of that complex strap that bucked her in on all sides." Emma seeks release from the boredom of her marriage in love affairs with two men - with the lawyer Léon Dupuis and then with Rodolphe Boulanger. Emma wants to leave her husband with him. He rejects the idea and Emma becomes ill. After she has recovered, she starts again her relationship with Léon, who works now in Rouen. They meet regularly at a hotel. Emma is in heavy debts because of her lifestyle and she poisons herself with arsenic. Charles Bovary dies soon after her and their daughter Berthe is taken care of their poor relatives. Berthe starts to earn her living by working in a factory. - The novel provoked an outrage. Flaubert was even tried and acquitted on charges of immorality for it. The character of Emma was important to the author - society offered her no escape and once Flaubert said: "Emma, c'est moi." Delphine Delamare, who died in 1848, is alleged to have been the original of Emma Bovary.In the 1860s Flaubert enjoyed success as a writer and intellectual at the court of Napoleon III. Among his friends were Zola, George Sand, HippolyteTaine, and the Russian writer Turgenev, with whom he shared similar aesthetic ideals - dedication to realism, and to the nonjudgmental representation of life. Their complete correspondence was published in English in 1985. Flaubert's other, non-literary life was marked by his prodigious appetite for prostitutes, which occasionally led to venereal infections."The thought that I shall see you this winter quite at leisure delights me like thepromise of an oasis. The comparison is the right one, if only you knew how isolatedI am! Who is there to talk to now? Who is there in our wretched country who still'cares about literature'? Perhaps one single man? Me! The wreckage of a lostworld, an old fossil of romanticism! You will revive me, you'll do me good." (fromFlaubert & Turgenev. A Friendship in Letters, edited and translated by BarbaraBeaumont, 1985)Flaubert was by nature melancholic. His perfectionism, long hours at his work table with a frog inkwell, only made his life harder. In a letter to Ernest Feydeau he wrote: "Books are made not like children but like pyramids... and are just as useless!" His last years were shadowed by financial worries - he helped with his modest fortune his niece's family after their bankruptcy.In the 1870s Flaubert's work gained acclaim by the new school of naturalistic writers. His narrative approach, that the novelist should not judge, teach, or explain but remain neutral, was widely adopted. Flaubert himself detested the label Realist - and other labels. Among Flaubert's later major works is Salammbô (1862), a story of the siege of Carthage in 240-237 BC by mercenaries. The novel inspired in 1998 Philippe Fénélon's opera, the libretto was written by Jean-Yves Masson. Also the composers Berlioz and Mussorgsky had planned opera adaptations, but their plans were never realized. Trois Contes(1872) was a collection of three tales. The Italian writer Italo Calvino has praised it as "one of the most extraordinary spiritual journeys ever accomplished outside any religion."L'Education Sentimentale (1869) was a panorama of France set in the era of the Revolution of 1848. The story depicted the relationship between a young man and an older married woman. The hero is full of vague longings. He meets people who have nothing else to offer but pessimism and cynicism. The ironic title means the education of feeling, and refers to the failure of Flaubert's generation to achieve its ideals. La Tentation de Saint Antoine (1874) was based on the story of the 4th-century Christian anchorite, who lived in the Egyptian desert and experienced philosophical and physical temptations. Its fantastic mode and setting were inspired by a Brueghel painting. Flaubert's long novel, Bouvard et Pécuchet, wasleft unfinished at his death. Flaubert spent his last years in relative poverty and was called ''hermit of Croisset.'' He died of a cerebral hemorrhage on May 8, in 1880.。

Unit 1 Love of reading全新版大学英语综合教程五课文翻译
Unit 1 Love of readingText A One Writer's Beginnings1 I learned from the age of two or three that any room in our house, at any time of day, was there to read in, or to be read to. My mother read to me. She'd read to me in the big bedroom in the mornings, when we were in her rocker together, which ticked in rhythm as we rocked, as though we had a cricket accompanying the story. She'd read to me in the dining room on winter afternoons in front of the coal fire, with our cuckoo clock ending the story with "Cuckoo", and at night when I'd got in my own bed. I must have given her no peace. Sometimes she read to me in the kitchen while she sat churning, and the churning sobbed along with any story. It was my ambition to have her read to me while I churned; once she granted my wish, but she read off my story before I brought her butter. She was an expressive reader. When she was reading "Puss in Boots," for instance, it was impossible not to know that she distrusted all cats.2 It had been startling and disappointing to me to find out that story books had been written by people, that books were not natural wonders, coming up of themselves like grass. Yet regardless of where they came from, I cannot remember a time when I was not in love with them —with the books themselves, cover and binding and the paper they were printed on, with their smell and their weight and with their possession in my arms, captured and carried off to myself. Still illiterate, I was ready for them, committed to all the reading I could give them.3 Neither of my parents had come from homes that could afford to buy many books, but though it must have been something of a strain on his salary, as the youngest officer in a young insurance company, my father was all the while carefully selecting and ordering away for what he and Mother thought we children should grow up with. They bought first for the future .4 Besides the bookcase in the living room, which was always called "the library", there were the encyclopedia tables and dictionary stand under windows in our dining room. Here to help us grow up arguing around the dining room table were the Unabridged Webster, the Columbia Encyclopedia, Compton's Pictured Encyclopedia, the Lincoln Library of Information, and later the Book of Knowledge. In "the library", inside the bookcase were books I could soon begin on —and I did, reading them all alike and as they came, straight down their rows, top shelf to bottom. My mother read secondarily for information; she sank as a hedonist into novels. She read Dickens in the spirit in which she would have eloped with him. The novels of her girlhood that had stayed on in her imagination, besides those of Dickens and Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson, wereJane Eyre, Trilby, The Woman in White, Green Mansions, King Solomon's Mines.5 To both my parents I owe my early acquaintance with a beloved Mark Twain. There was a full set of Mark Twain and a short set of Ring Lardner in our bookcase, and those were the volumes that in time united us all, parents and children.6 Reading everything that stood before me was how I came upon a worn old book that had belonged to my father as a child. It was called Sanford and Merton. Is there anyone left who recognizes it, I wonder? It is the famous moral tale written by Thomas Day in the 1780s, but of him no mention is made on the title page of this book; here it is Sanford and Merton in Words of One Syllable by Mary Godolphin. Here are the rich boy and the poor boy and Mr. Barlow, their teacher and interlocutor, in long discourses alternating with dramatic scenes —anger and rescue allotted to the rich and the poor respectively. It ends with not one but two morals, both engraved on rings: "Do what you ought, come what may," and "If we would be great, we must first learn to be good."7 This book was lacking its front cover, the back held on by strips of pasted paper, now turned golden, in several layers, and the pages stained, flecked, and tattered around the edges; its garish illustrations had come unattached but were preserved, laid in. I had the feeling even in my heedless childhood that this was the only book my father as a little boy had had of his own. He had held onto it, and might have gone to sleep on its coverless face: he had lost his mother when he was seven. My father had never made any mention to his own children of the book, but he had brought it along with him from Ohio to our house and shelved it in our bookcase.8 My mother had brought from West Virginia that set of Dickens: those books looked sad, too — they had been through fire and water before I was born, she told me, and there they were, lined up — as I later realized, waiting for me.9 I was presented, from as early as I can remember, with books of my own, which appeared on my birthday and Christmas morning. Indeed, my parents could not give me books enough. They must have sacrificed to give me on my sixth or seventh birthday — it was after I became a reader for myself-the ten-volume set of Our Wonder World. These were beautifully made, heavy books I would lie down with on the floor in front of the dining room hearth, and more often than the rest volume 5, Every Child's Story Book, was under my eyes. There were the fairy tales —Grimm, Andersen, the English, the French, "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves"; and there was Aesop and Reynard the Fox; there were the myths and legends, Robin Hood, King Arthur, and St. George and the Dragon, even the history of Joan of Arc; a whack of Pilgrim's Progress and a long piece of Gulliver. They all carried their classic illustrations. I located myself in these pages andcould go straight to the stories and pictures I loved; very often "The Yellow Dwarf" was first choice, with Walter Crane's Yellow Dwarf in full color making his terrifying appearance flanked by turkeys. Now that volume is as worn and backless and hanging apart as my father's poor Sanford and Merton. One measure of my love for Our Wonder World was that for a long time I wondered if I would go through fire and water for it as my mother had done for Charles Dickens; and the only comfort was to think I could ask my mother to do it for me.10 I believe I'm the only child I know of who grew up with this treasure in the house.I used to ask others, "Did you have Our Wonder World?" I'd have to tell them The Book of Knowledge could not hold a candle to it.11 I live in gratitude to my parents for initiating me —as early as I begged for it, without keeping me waiting — into knowledge of the word, into reading and spelling, by way of the alphabet. They taught it to me at home in time for me to begin to read before starting to school.12 Ever since I was first read to, then started reading to myself, there has never beena line read that I didn't hear. As my eyes followed the sentence, a voice was saying it silently to me. It isn't my mother's voice, or the voice of any person I can identify, certainly not my own. It is human, but inward, and it is inwardly that I listen to it. It is to me the voice of the story or the poem itself. The cadence, whatever it is that asks you to believe, the feeling that resides in the printed word, reaches me through the reader-voice: I have supposed, but never found out, that this is the case with all readers — to read as listeners — and with all writers, to write as listeners. It may be part of the desire to write. The sound of what falls on the page begins the process of testing it for truth , for me. Whether I am right to trust so far I don't know. By now I don't know whether I could do either one, reading or writing, without the other.13 My own words, when I am at work on a story, I hear too as they go, in the same voice that I hear when I read in books. When I write and the sound of it comes back to my ears, then I act to make my changes. I have always trusted this voice.作家起步时我从两三岁起就知道，家中随便在哪个房间里，白天无论在什么时间，都可以念书或听人念书。

Unit One 恰到好处你见过一个笨手笨脚的男人往箱子上钉钉子吗？只见他左敲敲，右敲敲，说不准还会将整个钉子锤翻，结果敲来敲去到头来只敲进了半截。
而娴熟的木匠就不这么干。
他每敲一下都会坚实巧妙地正对着钉头落下去，一钉到底。
语言也是如此。
一位优秀的艺术家谴词造句上力求准确而有力地表达自己的观点。
差不多的词，不准确的短语，摸棱两可的表达，含糊不清的修饰，都无法使一位追求纯真英语的作家满意。
他会一直思考，直至找到那个能准确表达他的意思的词。
法国人有一个很贴切的短语来表达这样一个意思，即“le mot juste”, 恰到好处的词。
有很多关于精益求精的作家的名人轶事，比如福楼拜常花几天的时间力求使一两个句子在表达上准确无误。
在浩瀚的词海中，词与词之间有着微妙的区别，要找到能恰如其分表达我们意思的词绝非易事。
这不仅仅是扎实的语言功底和相当大的词汇量的问题，还需要人们绞尽脑汁，要观察敏锐。
选词是认识过程的一个步骤，也是详细描述我们的思想感情并表达出来使自己以及听众和读者深刻理解的一个环节。
有人说：“在我思想未成文之前，我怎么知道自己的想法？”这听起来似乎很离谱，但它确实很有道理。
寻找恰如其分的词的确是件不容易的事。
一旦找到了那个词，我们就会感到很欣慰：辛劳得到了回报。
准确地用语言有助于我们深入了解我们描述的事物。
例如，当有人问你：“某某是怎么样的人？”你回答说：“恩，我想他是个不错的家伙，但他非常……”接着你犹豫了，试图找到一个词或短语来说明他到底讨厌在哪里。
当你找到一个恰当的短语的时候，你发觉自己对他的看法更清楚，也更精确了。
一些英语词汇词根相同而意义却截然不同。
例如human 和humane,二者的词根相同，词义也相关，但用法完全不同。
“human action (人类行为)”和“humane action ( 人道行为)”完全是两码事。
我们不能说“人道权力宣言”，而是说“人权宣言”。
有一种屠杀工具叫“humane killer ( 麻醉屠宰机)，而不是human killer ( 杀人机器)。
语言中的坏手艺的例子在我们身边随处可见。
有人邀请一名学生去吃饭，他写信给予回复。
请看他的信是这样结尾的：“我将很高兴赴约并满怀不安（anxiety ）期待着那个日子的到来。
”“Anxiety”含有烦恼和恐惧的意味。
作者想表达的很可能是一种翘首期盼的心情。
“Anxiety”跟热切期盼有一定的关联，但在这个场合是不能等同的。
乌干达一政党领袖给新闻界的一封信中有一句这样写道：让我们打破这自私、投机、怯懦和无知充斥的乌干达，代之以真理，刚毅，坚定和奇异的精神。
这一激动人心的呼吁被最后一个词“奇异（singularity）”的误用破坏掉了。
我猜想作者真正要表达的意思是思想的专一，即抱定一个信念永不改变，咬定青山不放松，不被次要的目的干扰。
而singularity 指的是古怪，特性，是将一个人从众多人中区分出来的那种东西。
即使没有出现词语误用，这词仍可能不是符合作者意图的恰如其分的词。
一名记者在一篇有关圣诞节的社论中这样引出狄更斯的话：任何有关圣诞节的想法和文字已经被禁锢(imprisoned )在这句话中……“Imprisonment”暗示着强迫，威逼，这么一来似乎意思是有悖其初衷的。
用“包含(contained )”或“归结（summed up ）”就要好些。
“概括（epitomized）”也行，尽管听起来有点僵硬。
稍微再用点心我们就能准确地找到“mot juste (恰倒好处的词) ”，那就是“distilled”.它比包含和归结语气更强。
“Distillation (提炼)”意味得到本质（essence）的东西。
因此我们可以进一步把这个句子修改为：所有有关圣诞节的想法和文字的精华都被提炼到这句话之中。
英语词汇丰富，运用灵活。
一个意思有很多种表达方式。
但是无论意思上如何相近的词总是存在着些许区别。
作为学生就要敏感地意识到这些区别。
通过查字典，尤其是通过阅读，学生对这类细微差别敏感性将逐步增强，准确表达自己意思的能力也相应提高。
罗利教授曾经说过：“同义词是不存在的。
句子用词改变了，句子就不再是原来的意思了。
”这也许过于绝对，但是很难驳倒。
措辞稍有变更，意思会有微妙的变化。
看下面两个句子：（1）童年时候我喜欢去看火车开过。
（2）当我是个小孩子的时候我喜欢看火车开过。
乍一看这两个句子的意思完全一样。
但仔细一看你会发现它们之间存在细微的差别。
在我童年时候比当我是小孩子的时候更加抽象。
而看很可能比去看更强调看火车这一动作。
这个例子不是很明显，可能有待商榷。
但每个人看了下面例子后一定马上同意。
两者之间存在显著区别。
（1）他死的时侯很穷。
（2）他断气时穷困潦倒。
在某种意义上，expired 是died 的同义词，in indigent circumstances 是poor 的同义词。
但当看整个句子时，我们就不能坚持认为两句是一样的了。
措辞的变化往往意味着风格的改变，并给读者以不同的感受。
也许当好一个谴词造句的工匠比当好一个与木头钉子打交道的木匠要难一些，但是只要我们付出努力和耐心，我们就能提高自己的技能和敏感性。
这样我们不仅可以提高我们的写作能力，还可以提高阅读能力。
英语为各种活动和嗜好提供了丰富多彩的词汇。
就那走路来说，通过我们拥有的各种各样的词语的意义范围有多么广阔。
我们可以说行军，踱步，巡逻，潜进，跨过，践踏，重步走，蹦蹦跳跳地走，昂首阔步，高视阔步，徘徊，沉重缓慢地走，溜达，曳足而行，摇摇晃晃地走，侧身而行，跋涉，蹒跚学步，漫步，徜徉，漫游，闲荡，悄悄地走。
即使不包括俚语在内英语就有四十余万单词，这很可能让学习英语的外国学生感到气馁和沮丧。
但千万不要灰心，因为超过半数的词已不再通用。
就算大文豪沙士比亚也只使用了两万左右的词汇。
今天普通英国人的词汇量在12000到13000之间。
一个人的词汇量当然是尽量扩大的好，但仅仅10000的词汇量就够他说话写字表达丰富的意义了。
关键是你要扎实地掌握你知道的单词。
粗略地认识三个单词还不如准确地掌握两个。
衡量一个木匠的好坏并不在于他拥有工具的数量多少，而是在于他运用工具的技艺如何。
同样的，衡量一个作家好不好不能通过其认识单词的数量，而应通过其找到恰如其分的词的能力。
这个词要不偏不倚正中要害，一言中的。
Unit Four 看不到的贫穷/穷人在美国，数以百万计的穷人日趋隐形。
虽然他们的群体是如此的庞大，但是要看到他们非得有足够的智慧和意志不可。
我是亲自通过一种奇特的方式发现这一点的。
在我完成第一篇有关美国贫困的文章后，所有的统计数字就都跃然纸上了。
令我感到满足的是，我总算证明出在这个国家有大约50,000,000穷人。
但是我意识到我并不相信自己得出的数字。
穷人存在于政府的报告中，仅仅是一系列长长的而且紧紧相连的栏目中的数字和百分比，并未溶入我的经历。
我能够证明另一个美国的存在，但却从未去过那里。
有些长期造成的原因使另一个美国成为一个看不到的国度。
贫穷常常产生在人迹罕至的地方。
而且总是如此。
普通游客从来不会离开主干道，而现在他往来于洲际高速公路。
他不去宾夕法尼亚的山谷，那里的市镇宛如电影里的三四十年代威尔士的场景。
他没有看到一排排的工厂住房和布满车辙的马路（无论是住在城市、乡镇或农场，穷人的路都不好走），所有的东西都黑乎乎脏兮兮的。
即使游客碰巧经过这些地方，他也不会见到酒吧里的失业男人和彻头彻尾的血汗工厂里收工回家的妇女。
其次，美景和神话是贫穷永久的面具。
旅游者在宜人的季节来到阿巴拉契亚山。
他看到了山川，溪流，树叶——但没有贫穷。
或者也许他看着一栋破败的山居，更多联想到的是卢梭而不是用他的眼睛进行仔细观察，于是他断定“那些人”真的很幸运，能够按照自己的方式生活，能够幸运地免除中产阶级的紧张和压力。
他们唯一的问题是“那些人”，那些山中奇特的居民，没有受过良好的教育，生活水平低下，缺乏医疗保障，正处在被迫离开土地涌入城市讨生活的过程，而在城市里他们无所适从。
这些都是造成贫穷隐形的正常而且显而易见的原因。
这些原因几十年前就起作用，此后几十年将继续起作用。
更为重要的是要知道随着美国社会的发展，一种新型式的对贫穷的忽视正在出现。
穷人正在逐渐从人们的经历和意识中淡出。
如果说中产阶级从来就不喜欢丑陋和贫穷，至少他们以前知道有这么回事儿。
“在贫民区”并不是很远的一段路。
圣诞节时他们会涉足贫民窟，也有慈善机构与穷人保持联系。
只要到商业区工作或娱乐，几乎每个人都时不时经过黑人聚居区或廉价公寓区。
现在美国的城市被改造了，穷人们依然居住在市中心极差的住宅群里，但是他们逐步与外界孤立，无法进入任何人的视线。
中产阶级妇女难得进城在剧院里消磨一个晚上，途中可能会瞥见另一个美国，但他们的孩子被隔离在郊外的学校里。
商人或职员们可能驾车或搭公车经过贫民窟的边缘，但这对他们来说并不算是一个很重要的经历。
那些一败涂地的，无一技之长的，伤残的，年老的以及少数民族（弱势群体）就在那里，他们一直以来就住的贫民窟里。
但是除此之外，那里没有任何其他人。
总而言之，美国城市的发展把贫穷状况从人们的生活当中消除，从成百上千美国中产阶级的情感体验中消除。
幽居在郊区，人们很容易想象，我们的社会确实是富足的。
更糟的是，这种对贫穷的新的隔离混合着一种善意的无知。
很多富有同情心的美国人都清楚有许多关于城市改建的讨论。
当他们驾车经过市区时，突然注意到一个熟悉的贫民窟被推倒，曾经是廉价公寓和简易房子的地方屹立起现代化的高楼大厦，一种温暖的满足感油然而生。
他们为问题的解决感到由衷欣慰：很显然，穷人受到很好的关照。
具有讽刺意味的是：事实跟这种印象恰恰截然相反。
美国战后各种各样的住房项目所造成的总的影响是把越来越多的人塞进现有的贫民窟中……。
着装也使穷人们趋于隐形。
美国的穷人是全世界穿得最好的穷人。
由于多种原因，大规模生产带来的好处在这一领域比其它领域分布得更平均。
在美国，一个人轻而易举就可以穿着体面，但说到体面的居住环境，良好的饮食和医疗条件就是不那么容易了。
即使收入来源十分窘迫的人也能穿的有模有样，看上去有如事业有成的成功人士。
这是决定我们对于贫穷确实存在的无知的一个极其重要的因素。
在底特律，从公司设立储物柜的那天起，社会地位的存在变得越来越难以分辨。
从那以后，再也看不到人们穿着工作服到工厂上班，而是穿着家常裤和白衬衣的市民。
这一过程美化了全国上下的穷人。
在大城市中有成百上千的美国人尽管穿着鞋子，或者甚至是剪裁时髦的洋装，却在饿肚子。
这并非蓄意所为，虽然看起来差不多是这个富足的社会将服装分发给穷人使他们不至于破衣烂衫的碍别人的眼。
而且，很多穷人都处在一个“隐形”的年龄，他们很多人（超过8,000,000）年龄在六十五以上，更多的人未满十八岁。
