倫敦富人區(qū)正在興起一種趨勢,就是在窮富混居的公寓樓里,給低收入居民專設(shè)了另一個獨立入口,這種入口被稱作poor door——“窮人入口”,赤裸裸地展現(xiàn)了貧富兩個世界之間的鴻溝。
Poor door is a separate entrance for the lower-income residents of a mixed-income building.
“窮人入口”是在窮富混居公寓樓中給低收入居民專設(shè)的獨立入口。
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.
《衛(wèi)報》的一項調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn),倫敦富人區(qū)正在興起一種趨勢,就是在窮富混居的公寓樓里,迫使收入較低的居民使用另一個入口,這種入口被稱作“窮人入口”。這種窮富混居公寓樓內(nèi)的經(jīng)濟適用房是開發(fā)商為了獲取建筑許可證而建造的。在這種混居公寓樓的小區(qū)內(nèi),甚至連自行車車庫、垃圾桶和郵筒也是分開的。
