It isn’t strictly true that one half of the world is rich and the other half is poor. It’s one third that is very rich and tow-thirds that are very poor. People in the rich countries don’t understand the great difference between them and those in the poorer countries. A very simple is that a dog or a cat in North America eats better than a child in the poorer countries. A fisherman is South America may be catching fish which is made into pet food, and his own children are not getting enough to eat for their bodies to grow properly. Although a lot of the world’s natural resources(資源) like oil come from these poorer countries, people in the richer countries are using about sixty times as much of these resources as people in Asia of Africa. And it’s the richer countries that deicide that kind of prices they are ready to pay for these resources. And the process the richer countries get for their own exports(出口), however, are always rising. So they are getting richer and richer and the poorer countries are getting poorer. 世界上一半是富人，另一半是窮人，這不完全正確。世界上三分之一的人非常富有，三分之二的人非常貧窮。 在富裕國家的人們并不了解他們與在貧窮國家的人們之間的巨大差異。一個(gè)顯見的事是，狗或貓?jiān)诒泵莱缘谋仍谳^貧窮國家的兒童吃的更好。一個(gè)南美漁民可能把捕到的魚制成寵物食品，而他自己的孩子得不到足夠的身體正常生長所需的東西吃。 雖然世界上的自然資源比如石油來自這些貧窮國家，在富裕國家的人享用的資源約為在亞洲，非洲人民的六十多倍。富裕的國家決定了他們愿意支付這些資源的價(jià)格。而這個(gè)過程中較富裕的國家由于他們出口得到的卻總是在上升。因此，他們越來越富，窮國越來越窮。
