在英语中,贫富差距常常不是用poor和rich来表达的。在美国,谈到这个时一般都用:Gap between haves and have-nots见当然,也有用:The growing gap between rich and poor 只是The growing gap between haves and have-nots更英语化些

最上面的三个答案不值得评价。divide the rich from the pool The differentiation betwwen the rich and the poor. the seperation between the rich and the poor————————注意问题是“贫富分化”,“分化”用gap,disparity表达准确吗?“分化”和“差距”外延与内涵相同吗?我们来看看几本词典的解释:gap:1)金山词霸中《美国传统词典的释义)A conspicuous difference or imbalance; a disparity:差距,悬殊:明显的不同或不平衡;差异:A problematic situation resulting from such a disparity:差异所造成的困难状况:2)牛津高阶:a difference that separates people, or their opinions, situation, etc:the gap between rich and poor * the gap between theory and practicesee also CREDIBILITY, GENERATIONGAP3)Merriam-Webster:lack of balance : DISPARITY a wide difference in character or attitude a problem caused by some disparitydisparity没必要多说了,它强调的是“不等,差距”。polarization强调的是“两极的分化”,看看“英汉大词典”的原例句(1402页)是:a growing world plolarization between rich and poor countries.世界性日趋严重的富国和贫国的两极分化。——————————————————haves and have-nots也不是什么新鲜词汇。很显然,它用在非正式语中为主,特别是新闻英语中。——————polarization最好division次之。其他的勉强及格。

While china continue to amaze the outside world with its stories of rapid economic growth,the country's Gini Co-efficient-a standard measure of income inequality has exceed the 0.40 threshold viewed as danger level.Although china has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of absolute poverty during the period of reform and opening,has transformed from planning economy system to marked-oriented system,the gap between the rich and poor remains in rural-urban income as well as in every social classes are widening that will confine the long-term development of national economy as whole. The per capita disposable income of city dwellers released in 2003 was 8,472 yuan (US$1,024),compared with 2,622 yuan (US$317) of farmers that account for 80% of the national population. approx. 25% of chinese population is in the upper middle class to rich. But the larger segment-about 75% is in the low middle class to poor.Even though the past year of 2004 appears a good one for the country's some 800 million farmers thanks to a substantial recovery in grain price and cuting tax,the task to uplift the farmer income,to narrow the disparity and inequality which will affect society stabilization in rural-urban development level is arduous. to achieve a coordinated development between urban and rural areas and to resolve issues concerning agriculture, farmers and rural areas,Wen called for reforms to increase assistance and protection for agriculture, to speed up urbanization, to let cities play a bigger role in promoting the development of rural areas and to coordinate the development of urban and rural areas, by unifying the management of issues like labor, family, compulsory education, and taxation.
