That most Africans are poor, not because they really are poor, but because someone decides to describe them as such.
大部分非洲人很穷,不是因为他们真穷,而是因为有人故意把他们说得很穷。
My grandfather is ‘poor’. He certainly lives on “less than a dollar a day”. He is now 95 years old. In his nine and a half decades on earth, he has never lacked, and he has never begged. He only attended one year at a mission school in the 1930s and learnt how to read and write. This is how he pulls it off:
我外祖父就“穷”,他的生活来源当然是“每天不到一美元”。他现在95岁,过去的95年里他从未缺过什么,也没要过饭。他只在20世纪30年代上过一年教会学校学习读和写。下面就是他的生活:
When he wants food, he goes to the banana plantation, looks at tens of bunches of matooke (banana) and decides which to harvest for the day’s dinner. Adjacent to the plantation is a sweet potato garden, cassava garden, yams and finger millet. To the south of the banana plantation are beans, cow peas or peanuts gardens. Down the valley is grazing land with tens of cross-breed cattle. They provide him with milk daily, 365 days a year.
