起跑線被往後挪的處境
登入就可以看這一支怎麼連回核心畫面。
socially deprived · adjective · C1
Having social problems, such as little money or little schooling, which make it hard for you to do well.
弱勢的
One way to hold it: everyone is running the same race, but some people start further back — less money, less schooling, a harder home. They are not weaker runners; the starting line was simply moved on them.
同一場賽跑，大家跑的是同一條跑道，但有些人的起跑線被往後挪了——家裡錢少、書讀得不夠、環境沒給他該有的條件。這個字要說的不是「這個人比較差」，而是「他手上少了一些別人本來就有的東西」，所以同樣一件事，他要花更多力氣才做得到。重點在那個被拿走的優勢，不在人本身。
