#108 为什么越来越多人讨厌专家？Why more and more people hate authority

大家好，欢迎回来MaoMi Chinese！

最近，我在看英国的新闻的时候，看到了一条让人哭笑不得的新闻。哭笑不得，意思是让你不知道是哭好，还是笑好。这个新闻让我哭笑不得。英国的一个政府官员，叫Therese Coffey。有人问她：“现在的生活成本越来越高，政府应该做什么来帮助人们？”她说：“人们增加收入的最好方法之一就是加班，每天多工作几个小时。”网友听到这样的话，快要气疯了。气疯了，意思是太生气了，都快要发疯了，因为她完全没有理解很多人的困难。在她看来，如果人们很穷，那是因为人们不努力。

不仅是在英国，在中国，也有越来越多人讨厌一些专家。越来越多年轻人抱怨他们的工资太低，一个专家说：“年轻人工资低，是因为他们的能力不够。”这句话就像点燃了一个炸弹，让所有中国年轻人都气疯了。年轻人的工资越来越低，一个很重要的原因是经济不太好，所以人们的收入也越来越少。中国还有很多低收入的人，他们该怎么办呢？一个专家说：“他们可以把多余的房子租出去，也可以用自己的车去做兼职的司机。”人们听了他说的话，更生气了。这些低收入的人们，连车也没有，连房子也没有，更不用说有多余的房子了！他们每一天都很努力地工作，但也只能刚刚好活下去。

现在，很多年轻人从大学毕业以后找不到工作。一个专家给年轻人这样的建议：“年轻人如果找不到工作，可以先结婚和生孩子。”但是，他不知道年轻人要结婚需要花很多的钱，没有工作，他们怎么可能会有钱，又怎么可能结婚呢？

为什么越来越多人讨厌这些专家呢？第一，因为他们一点儿都不“接地气”。“接地气”，意思是可以明白老百姓的生活，可以理解普通人的困难。这些专家就非常不接地气。第二，他们也很傲慢，总是高高在上地看着普通人。还有一个很重要的原因，那就是现在的贫富差距越来越大。这些专家通常是有钱人，所以他们也不能理解穷人的困难。

你的国家有这些让人讨厌的专家吗？欢迎在评论区和我们分享哦！

Hello everyone! Welcome back to MaoMi Chinese!

Recently, when I was reading news from the UK, I came across a news story that was both funny and sad. "哭笑不得" means that it makes you unsure whether to laugh or cry. This news story made me feel that way. A government official in the UK named Therese Coffey was asked, "As the cost of living increases, what should the government do to help people?" She replied, "One of the best ways for people to increase their income is to work overtime and put in a few extra hours each day." When netizens heard her words, they were almost driven crazy. "Driven crazy" means being extremely angry, to the point of going mad, because she completely failed to understand the difficulties faced by many people. In her opinion, if people are poor, it's because they aren't working hard enough.

Not just in the UK, but in China as well, there are more and more people who dislike certain experts. More and more young people complain that their salaries are too low, and one expert says, "Young people have low salaries because they lack ability." This sentence is like lighting a bomb that makes all young people in China furious. One important reason for the increasingly low salaries of young people is that the economy isn't doing very well, so people's incomes are decreasing. There are still many low-income people in China, so what should they do? An expert says, "They can rent out their extra houses, or work as part-time drivers with their own cars." When people heard what he said, they became even angrier. These low-income people don't even have cars or extra houses, let alone the luxury of renting them out. They work hard every day just to barely get by.

Nowadays, many young people can't find jobs after graduating from college. An expert gave this advice to young people: "If you can't find a job, you can get married and have children first." However, he doesn't realize that getting married requires a lot of money, and without a job, how could they possibly have the money to do so?

Why do more and more people dislike these experts? Firstly, because they are completely out of touch with the common people. "Out of touch" means that they don't understand the lives of ordinary people or their difficulties. Secondly, these experts are very arrogant and always look down on ordinary people. Another important reason is that the wealth gap is growing larger and larger. These experts are usually wealthy, so they can't understand the difficulties faced by poor people.
