Hints:

USA


The Americans have a passion for grandeur. Their skyscrapers, bridges and dams often have a splendor which matches in beauty and scale in the country's natural wonders. Is the sole aim of most Americans to make money and posses luxuries which could be called excessive? The majority of Americans would certainly deny this, though most feel proud to amass wealth and possessions through hard work. In the USA, about 90% of the population is well enough off to expect a brighter future. The USA still has one of the highest standards of living in the world, although, at the present time, 10% are below what the government considers to be the "poverty line". While these underprivileged people receive help from the government, they have no high hopes for the future.
美國(guó)人熱衷豪華壯觀。他們的摩天大樓、大橋、水壩等壯觀宏大建筑與美國(guó)的自然景觀交相輝映。賺錢和擁有眾多奢侈品是否美國(guó)人唯一的追求呢？多數(shù)美國(guó)人當(dāng)然會(huì)否認(rèn)此點(diǎn)，雖然他們認(rèn)為通過(guò)努力工作賺取財(cái)富是值得驕傲的。在美國(guó)，90%以上的人生活富裕，有美好的未來(lái)。美國(guó)具有世界上最高的生活標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，盡管現(xiàn)在仍有10%的人口生活在政府的貧困線標(biāo)準(zhǔn)以下。盡管這10%的貧困人口受到政府的幫助，但是他們對(duì)未來(lái)依然沒(méi)有多大期望。
