富人和窮人的七個相似之處

When I first started covering the very rich, a wealth manager gave me this piece of advice: "The very rich are like the unemployed, except they don't have the edifying focus of trying to find a job."

在我剛開始報道超級富翁時，一名財富管理師給了我這樣一條建議：除了不急著找工作外，那些超級富翁和失業(yè)者沒什么兩樣。

In his new e-book, "Rich Man Poor Man," the right-leaning comedian Adam Carolla takes the idea even further, making a case that the rich and poor have many things in common.

Everett Collection右翼人士 喜劇演員卡羅拉(Adam Carolla)在他的新電子書《富人與窮人》(Rich Man Poor Man)中將這一觀點(diǎn)作了進(jìn)一步闡述，認(rèn)為富人和窮人在很多方面有著相似之處。

Of course, many will find Carolla's analogies between rich and poor highly offensive. Some are also a stretch (both rich and poor "use ladders with wheels," "wear eye patches," "keep liquor in a sack" and "use shovels on construction sites.")

當(dāng)然，很多人會覺得卡羅拉對富人和窮人的類比非常無禮。其中一些還有點(diǎn)夸張，比如富人和窮人都“使用帶滑輪的梯子” “戴眼罩” “把酒裝入袋子里”以及“在建筑工地上使用鏟子”。

And Carolla is perhaps best known for calling the Occupiers "a bunch of (expletive) self-entitled monsters." He has been a strong supporter of the wealthy in the current class divide.

卡羅拉最有名的一個舉動可能是把占領(lǐng)運(yùn)動的抗議者稱作“一群惡魔”。在目前的階層分化中，卡羅拉一直是富人的鼎力支持者。

But he's a comedian folks. So here are 7 amusing examples from the e-book:

但他也是一名喜劇演員，他的電子書寫得還是蠻有趣的，接下來就是他電子書中的七個有趣例子：

1 Outdoor Showers. Rich Guys Ladies always rinse off in the outdoor shower so "there's no chance of his wife finding a rogue hair on the shower floor when she gets back from rehab." Poor guys have no shower, so they use the neighbor's hose.

1 戶外淋浴。有錢人總在戶外淋浴中把自己沖洗干凈，這樣，他從康復(fù)中心回來的妻子永遠(yuǎn)都沒法在浴室地板上發(fā)現(xiàn)他胡作非為留下的發(fā)絲。窮人因?yàn)闆]有淋浴設(shè)施，所以只能使用鄰居家的水管。

2 No Wallet. Rich guys carry money clips and the poor just carry around crinkled dollar bills.

2 不帶錢包。有錢人用錢夾，窮人則揣著幾張皺巴巴的紙幣。

3 Spends the Day in Pajamas.

3 白天穿著睡衣。

4 They Row. Rich guys crew, poor guys row to find food.

4 他們都劃船。有錢人參加賽艇運(yùn)動，窮人劃船則是為了填飽肚子。

5 Always With Their Dogs. Socialites carry their mini-breeds, while the poor have to keep their canine friends tied to a shopping cart.

5 和狗形影不離。社會精英抱著他們的袖珍小狗，窮人則把狗拴在購物車上。

6 Spend Evenings in Front of a Roaring Fire.

6 在熊熊爐火旁度過他們的傍晚時光。

7 Spend Thanksgiving in a Soup Kitchen. The rich serve and the poor eat.

7 在施粥所過感恩節(jié)。有錢人發(fā)放食物，窮人吃。

What are some other ways the rich are like the poor?

富人和窮人還有其他什么相似的地方嗎?
