Then I saw how naive I truly was.
后来我才知道我有多么天真。
One of my classmates had gotten to attend the MBA program on a merit and needs-based scholarship. He didn't have any money. While his tuition was waived, he still needed to pay for daily expenses.
我的一个同学在奖学金和助学金的支持下参加了MBA课程。但他没有钱。虽然他的学费被免除了,但他仍然需要自己支付日常开支。
Instead of a fancy high floor condo or even a modest downtown condo, he lived in one of the roughest neighborhoods just off campus. I lived nearby and can hear the police patrols and random gun fire where he lived. My place wasn't much but at least it was secure. He lived on a couch in a shared room right in the middle of regular gang and drug activity. Running water wasn't always available, but it was cheap, just a few hundred bucks a month.
他住在了一个简陋的街区而不是住在奢华的高层公寓或是舒适的市中心公寓,住的地方距离学校很近。我住在附近,可以听到在他住的地方经常有警察巡逻和枪击的声音。我住的地方不大,但至少是安全的。他睡在一间公用房间的沙发上,住处正处于帮派和毒品交易区域的中间。自来水供应时有时无,但它是便宜的,一个月的就几百美元。
Obviously, he didn't have a car and relied on brisk walks to get anywhere. He didn't have many friends as he couldn't afford to go hang out with anyone. When we hung out, I made sure we didn't need to spend any money.
