1. What do you think is the main reason for the gap between the rich and poor?
改革開放以來(lái)，我國(guó)在經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)的同時(shí)，貧富差距逐步拉大，收入差距問(wèn)題也越來(lái)越受到人們的重視。

Candidate 1: There are many reasons for the gap between the rich and poor. Generally speaking, the main reason is that the social wealth is not distributed on average. But different countries have different reasons.

In capitalism countries, the main reason is that almost all of means and products belong to capitalists; the capitalists exploit the labor and plunder their wealth. So the capitalists' accumulation of wealth becomes more and more. In the end, the rich become richer and the poor turn poorer.

In our country, the gap also exists between the rich and poor. I think the main reason is that the reform and opening up make some people get rich in advance, and then the gap between the rich and poor appeared. But the final purpose is to achieve common prosperity.

Although our country has the gap between the rich and poor, I believe our country will make the gap disappear when we step into the communism society!

Candidate 2: The main reason is that there are some fields that are in great demand but short of supplies of labor, while the other fields have too many people in it but in little demand. Well, if you ask me, I don't think you can expect everyone to become rich at the same time. Some people say that under the market economy system it is natural for the most capable people to make a fortune first. Life is in competition after all. Well, I can accept this partly but I think we should still do more to raise the standards of people who are struggling in life.

Candidate 1比較了資本主義國(guó)家和社會(huì)主義國(guó)家兩種社會(huì)制度下各自貧富差距的原因。在資本主義國(guó)家，資本家掌握資本，雇傭勞動(dòng)力，最后剝奪工人的勞動(dòng)成果，財(cái)富越積越多，貧富差距越來(lái)越大。社會(huì)主義國(guó)家應(yīng)該是財(cái)富均等分配，但是由于改革開放，一部分人先富起來(lái)而導(dǎo)致了貧富差距的存在。這是必然的。但是，我們的最終目標(biāo)是實(shí)現(xiàn)共同富裕。最后答題者指出，步入共產(chǎn)主義社會(huì)，我們的貧富差距就會(huì)消失；Candidate 2坦言所有的人同時(shí)富裕是不可能的。有人認(rèn)為，在市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)條件下，競(jìng)爭(zhēng)是激烈的，能者致富，作者對(duì)這一觀點(diǎn)不完全同意，但是最后強(qiáng)調(diào)我們應(yīng)該努力提高低收入者的收入水平。Candidate 1分析比較全面，而Candidate 2的思考比較嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)。
