伦敦富人区正在兴起一种趋势,就是在穷富混居的公寓楼里,给低收入居民专设了另一个独立入口,这种入口被称作poor door——“穷人入口”,赤裸裸地展现了贫富两个世界之间的鸿沟。
Poor door is a separate entrance for the lower-income residents of a mixed-income building.
“穷人入口”是在穷富混居公寓楼中给低收入居民专设的独立入口。
A Guardian investigation has discovered a growing trend in the capital’s upmarket apartment blocks — which are required to include affordable homes in order to win planning permission — for the poorer residents to be forced to use alternative access, a phenomenon being dubbed “poor doors”. Even bicycle storage spaces, rubbish disposal facilities and postal deliveries are being separated.
《卫报》的一项调查发现,伦敦富人区正在兴起一种趋势,就是在穷富混居的公寓楼里,迫使收入较低的居民使用另一个入口,这种入口被称作“穷人入口”。这种穷富混居公寓楼内的经济适用房是开发商为了获取建筑许可证而建造的。在这种混居公寓楼的小区内,甚至连自行车车库、垃圾桶和邮筒也是分开的。
