跑个题。有次和同事聊天,提到了中产阶级。结果人家很和缓的说:
I don't like the words "middle class".
这是我们的对话:
Why?
We shouldn't divide people by class. I think we should say "middle income".
Then we divide people by how much money they make.
Well, income and education.
Oh, I'm well educated, but definitely underpaid. Where do I fit?
这时一桌子后来的,不知道我们在讨论什么的人开始同意我同事的观点,说现在的社会有多不公平,民主党,共和党。。。我赶快把四分之一碗饭都扒拉到嘴里,逃了,噎的我半天缓不过气来。
