我从1976年开始走访乔布拉村中的一些最贫困的家庭,一个叫苏菲亚的妇女,为了能编制竹制品养家糊口,需要从高利贷者那里借22美分来买原料竹子,然后把编好的成品卖回给他们算是还款,每天只能挣2美分。我以前从来没有听说谁因为缺少了22美分而受苦,我克制住了从口袋里拿出22美分给她的冲动,因为我知道送给一个人22美分并不能长久地解决问题。 I visited some of the poorest families in the village of Chopra since 1976, a woman called Sophia, who needed 22 cents to buy raw bamboo from the loan shark in order to prepare bamboo products for her family. Prepared good sold back to them as a repayment, earn only 2 cents a day. I have never heard of anyone who suffered from a lack of 22 cents. I restrained the urge to give her 22 cents out of my pocket because I knew that giving 22 cents to a man did not solve the problem for a long time.
