I used to think I was poor. Then they told me I wasn't poor, I was needy. They told me it was self-defeating to think of myself as needy, I was deprived. Then they told me underprivileged was overused. I was disadvantaged. I still don't have a dime. But I have a great vocabulary.

    Раньше я думал, что я беден. потом мне сказали, что я не бедный, я нуждающийся. они сказали мне, что думать о себе как о нуждающемся — это саморазрушение, что я лишен чего-то. потом они сказали мне, что малообеспеченными людьми злоупотребляют. я был в невыгодном положении. у меня до сих пор нет ни копейки. но у меня большой словарный запас.

    我曾经以为我很穷。然后他们告诉我我不穷,我有需要。他们告诉我,以为自己是有需要的,这是不败的,我被剥夺了。然后他们告诉我弱势群体被滥用。我处于不利地位。我仍然没有一毛钱。但是我的词汇量很大。
