隐形贫困人口

invisible poverty-stricken population

 

 

 

"Invisible poverty-stricken population" has become a buzzword on the internet. It refers to people whose consumption exceeds their income.

“隐形贫困人口”一词在网络上走红，指的是消费超过收入的群体。

 

In big cities such as Beijing, there's a group of people who spend all their money on feel-good and look-at-me things, despite not having the income to do so. Most of them spend all their wages every month, some of them even depend on credit cards for their daily consumption.

在北京等大城市中，有这样一群人，他们将所有的钱都花在自我感觉良好和引人注目的事物上，虽然他们并没有同等水平的收入。他们中的大多数是“月光族”，有些人甚至还依赖信用卡维持日常开支。

 

But these people are not impoverished people at all. It is their unreasonable consumption that causes their impoverished condition, because their consumption exceeds their income. They lack any sense of money management that is of great importance in people's lives.

但是这些人根本不是穷人。不合理的消费导致他们陷入贫困的状态，因为他们花得比挣得多。他们缺乏生活中很重要的理财意识。

 

It is reasonable for people to aspire to a better lifestyle but people should live within their means. The fact is that these people's income is not low. It is unreasonable to call them "impoverished", as they simply spend more than they earn on things they cannot afford.

追求更好的生活方式没有错，但应该量入为出。事实上，这些人的收入并不低，只因他们花钱在无力负担的东西上而称他们为“穷人”并不合理。
