喜樂美語

Think of a net that a whole country holds up together. Everyone who earns puts a little money into it through taxes or payroll . The net is there for the times when a person cannot earn: old age, illness, disability, losing a job. One way to see the three meanings is as three views of that same net — the net itself, the money that falls into your hands when you land in it, and the one American net that has a capital-letter name of its own.

可以想成一整個國家一起撐著的一張網。有收入的人透過稅金或薪資扣繳，一點一點把錢放進去。這張網是為了「不能再靠自己賺錢」的那些時候準備的：年老、生病、失能、失業。三個意思可以看成同一張網的三個角度——網子本身、掉進網裡時接到手上的那筆錢，還有美國那一張有專屬大寫名稱的網。
