1.Economic inequality is the “defining challenge of our time.” President Barack Obama declared in a speech last month to the Center for American Progress. Inequality is dangerous, he argued, not merely because it doesn’t look good to have a large gap between the rich and the poor, but because inequality itself destroys upward mobility, making it harder for the poor to escape from poverty. “Increased inequality and decreasing mobility pose a fundamental threat to the American Dream,” he said.
翻译:巴拉克·奥巴马总统上个月在美国发展中心的一场演讲中宣称,经济不平等是“我们这个时代最明确的挑战”。他提出,不平等是危险的,不仅仅因为贫富差距大看起来不好,更因为不公平本身破坏了向上的流动性,让穷人更难摆脱贫困。他说,“持续扩大的不公平和不断减弱的流动性对美国梦构成了巨大的威胁”。
