网友讨论：韩国的贫穷老人
This Is What Elderly Poverty In Korea Looks Like (Giving Away 10,000 Masks During COVID-19)
译文简介
网友：我在韩国生活了八个月的时间，我注意到很多老年人会推着很大的手推车在路边卖水果蔬菜。老实说，我之前一直认为他们是为了让生活保持忙碌才自愿这么做的。然而，后来有人告诉我只有穷人才会这么做，在韩国这是会被人看不起的 。我听了后觉得很伤心，所以现在我总是从他们那卖水果蔬菜来帮助他们。

I can only imagine the suffering that homeless people all over the world are going through due to COVID.
我能想象全世界无家可归的人因新冠肺炎所遭受的痛苦。
Imagine if they got covid from living in the public.. but they didnt know they had the virus... just thought they had fever..and didn't went to hospital cus they cannot afford
想象一下，如果他们因生活在公共场合而得了新冠，但自己又不知道，只认为自己得的是流感，因为负担不起医药费而不去医院的话，会造成什么后果。

True. Why aren't they taken care of? I mean they have children, why aren't they helping?
说的没错，为什么他们没有得到照顾？我的意思是他们应该有孩子，为什么他们不帮忙？

I remember that people of korea somewhere between the 90s gave their fortune to the Korean government because they were in debt,the money korea took to build what korea is now.
我记得90年代的时候，韩国陷入了债务危机，当时的韩国人将财产都捐给了政府，韩国政府利用这笔钱才把韩国建设成现在这个样子
@GregTV Their children may be suffering too. We don't know the full story.
他们的孩子可能也在受苦，我们不知道事情到底是怎么样的。
@MusicIsLegal Yes because of the covid measures and the very high taxes of the government.
因为控制新冠采取的措施，还有政府的高税收
and yet left out by their families and relatives..
他们被家人和亲戚抛弃了
@shakina antra Main problem is the high taxes.
主要问题是高税收
@Pr Aem No, even before COVID, this situation already exists for many decades and it wont change in the future.
不，早在新冠之前，这种情况就已经存在了，而且一直持续了几十年，未来也不会发生改变
@shakina antra They probably dont have family anymore.
或许他们已经没有家人了
Their kids probably deserted them or they're too proud to ask for help.
他们的孩子可能抛弃了他们，或者他们太骄傲不愿意寻求帮助
As usual in any economy, the rich get richer and the rest suffer. The oligarchs of Korea, the chaebol families and their greed are part of the problem as to why so many millions needlessly suffer.
和任何经济体一样，富人越富，其他人受的苦就越多。数百万人会遭受这种不必要的痛苦的部分原因在于韩国寡头和财阀非常的贪婪。
@MusicIsLegal not suffering for sure. All of them have decent job but no time and no money for their parents
肯定没有受苦，他们所有人都有体面的工作，但不愿意和自己的父母分享时间和金钱
I've been living in Korea for 8 months and i noticed a lot of elderly people pushing large trolleys and selling fruits and veg on the side of the road. I honestly thought they were volunteering as a way to keep busy. However, i was later told that only poor people do this and its really looked down on in Korea. I felt so bad, so now i always try to buy my fruits and veg from them to help when i can.

The generation that made korea what is is today... and they’re starving and homeless.
This breaks my heart :(
让人伤心的是，造就了韩国今天的人现在却在挨饿，无家可归。
There are many reason to be homeless, that's why we need good financial management
无家可归的原因有很多，这就是为什么我们需要拥有良好的财务管理能力的原因
@Xi An 2ri Financial mamagement ia not the problem. Unfair taxes are, and now measures of covid based on lies.
问题不在于财富管理，而是在于不公平的税收，以及现在基于谎言的新冠管控措施。
I seriously don’t understand how anyone could dislike this wtf
我不明白为什么会有人不喜欢这个视频
Probably the "mask haters"
可能是“口罩仇恨者”不喜欢
This prove that even how far the country achieved, theres always who left behind
这证明了不管这个国家取得了多么大的成就，总有人会落在后面
South Korea has many MANY problems that make it look like a 3rd world country. Foreigners always think South Korea is highly developed without doing any proper research.
韩国有很多的问题，让它看起来就像是第三世界国家一样。外国人在没有做任何研究的情况下总是认为韩国是一个高度发达的国家
@Çommenter Person Interesting point. I think its also because of very high taxes.
有趣的观点，但我认为这是由于高税收造成的
It’s because of the GREED of the rich and powerful.
这是由于富人和有权势的人的贪婪造成的。
Damn, not going to lie. This got me tearing up a bit.
我不想撒谎，但这让我有点伤心
There's no reason for people to be homeless anywhere in the world, all governments should provide housing. Am I the only who thinks this way? Housing should be a basic human right.
没有任何理由让人无家可归，各国政府都应该为人民提供住房。我是唯一这样想的人吗？住房是一项基本人权。
Ya obviously everyone should have that but the sad part is that most countries don’t have the money or they don’t have their priorities in the right place. Usually rich countries like where I live in the United States, we got a lot of homeless people and we are one of the richest countries in the world. We for sure could pay for the homeless but the problem is we have other things we worry about like weapons getting into the wrong hands/people . I think it’s important to keep the world safe but I think we need to start transitioning into helping people inside the countries and others that might need help in other countries.
显然，每个人都应该拥有住房。但遗憾的是大部分国家没有这样的财力，或者他们没有将优先事项放在正确的地方上。比如我生活的美国，是世界上最富裕的国家之一，但我们却有很多无家可归的人。我们当然可以为无家可归的人买单，但我们同样也有其他的问题需要关心，比如武器落入了邪恶分子手中。我认为维护世界安全是很重要的，但我同样觉得我们需要将重心转向国内外需要帮助的人了。
@0611koc zex The reality is that Korea still doesn't have a long tradition or culture of charity. It's better than it used to be but they are only ranked 60th in the world. Btw, Taiwan is about the same, but Japan is FAR WORSE - they rank 128th overall - doing horribly for both donating money or volunteering). So you don't think all Asian countries are bad, Singapore is one of the ten best countries (ranked 7th) and Myanmar 9th.
事实上韩国并没有慈善文化的传统。虽然现在的情况要比过去好，但韩国在慈善领域只排在全球第60位。顺便说一下，台湾地区做的和韩国一样的差，而日本比韩国还要差得多，不管是在捐钱还是提供自愿服务上做的都很不好，只能排在128名。但并非所有亚洲国家都是如此，新加坡在慈善领域是世界上做的最好的国家之一，排名世界第七，缅甸排名第九。
I agree with you
我同意你的说法
@Favel Konefka. but atleast they will have shelter to live don't you think that will be better than being homeless
但至少他们有地方住，你不觉得这要比无家可归要好吗
I'm with you 100%. It is an utter disgrace that there's always money for war but Housing For All is scorned as a pipe dream
我百分百支持你。人们总是可以为战争提供资金支持，但人人有房住却被嘲笑为白日梦，这真的很丢脸
Youre indeed correct.
你说的确实没错
Where is the money going to come from though? Housing is definitely expensive in Seoul.
that would work for free. Then what about electricity and water? Would that be covered too? If those utilities would be paid by the government no matter what, it could definitely be abused. If those utilities weren't paid for by the government, then some homeless people would have trouble paying for it. The reality is Taxes are going to have to be raised for free housing, but the problem is a lot of people don't want their taxes raised. Politicians aren't going to raise taxes as they want to be reelected.
问题是钱要从哪里来？首尔的房子是非常贵的。如果房子免费的话，那么水电呢？水电也要免费吗？如果这些公共事业都由政府买单的话，那么水电资源肯定会被滥用。如果政府不买单的话，那么部分无家可归的人也很难付得起这些费用。事实上，如果住房免费的话，税收肯定会进一步提高，但问题是很多人不想加税。政客们想要获得连任，同样也不愿意加税。

I always wonder what it's like to be in their shoes, to be homeless, old, and in the middle of the pandemic where you are constantly in danger to the risk of death. It's mind boggling how they'd risk their lives for food every single day, and as the guy mentioned, they don't mind getting up at 6AM in the morning when the rest of us have the luxury of sleeping in.
我想知道如果处在他们的位置上，年老而无家可归，又处在随时会丧命的新冠疫情期间会是什么感受。令人难以置信的是，他们每天都要冒着生命危险去获取食物，正如那个人所提到的，他们并不介意早上六点起床，而我们其他人却可以奢侈的睡个懒觉。
They were needed to Korea when it was developing but now when they gave everything to the country they recieved nothing in return even to pay for their meal. I feel angry and disgusted by the government.
韩国在发展的时候需要他们，但他们在为国家付出一切之后，却没有得到任何回报，甚至连吃饭的钱都没有。我对这样的政府感到愤怒和厌恶
Modern world doesn't value human lives everything is about making more money, it's this way all over the world with very few exceptions...
现代世界并不重视人命，所有一切都是为了赚取更多的钱，全世界都是这样，只有少数几个地方例外。
I find it ironic that South Korea is a country that boasts traditional virtues like filial piety and respect for elders, yet have such a huge population of elderly in poverty. Of course every country has its poor but that seems to fly in the face of values South Koreans are supposedly proud of.
我觉得讽刺的是，韩国传统价值观就是崇尚孝道，尊敬老人，但现在却有那么多的老人陷入贫困状态。当然，每个国家都有穷人，但这似乎与韩国引以为傲的价值观背道而驰。
I never expected Seoul to have this many ELDERLY homeless people. Countries like Japan and South Korea are so successful you never expect them to have the issues that the rest of the world has.
我想不到首尔会有那么多无家可归的老人。真的想不到在其他国家存在的问题在韩国和日本这样成功的国家一样也存在。
Every country have a homeless. Maybe ur country are more worst lol.
每个国家都有无家可归的人，或许你们国家的情况更加的糟糕。

United States has homeless too but they dont want help from others
美国也有无家可归的人，但他们不需要别人的帮助
It saddens me to think homeless seniors exist
一想到有无家可归的老人存在，我就觉得很难过。
I wish i could be a sort of help for people in need in the future.
我希望将来可以帮助那些需要帮助的人
I admire this elderly people eventhough its hard to live they never give up on their life
我钦佩这些老人，尽管生活很艰难，但他们从不放弃自己的生活
I didn't know there were all these homeless, hungry seniors in Korea. I wonder what happened to their families?
我之前都不知道韩国有那么多无家可归，饥肠辘辘的老人。我想知道他们的家人怎么了？
One thing is, that they established pension system relatively late
韩国建立养老金制度的时间相对较晚
Hope this video gets the attention it deserves!
希望这个视频能得到应有的关注!
seeing that old woman ask for water started making me bawl my eyes out. she reminds me of my grandma and i wouldn't want her to go through this, especially all alone.
看到那老太太要水喝，我哭得泪流满面。她让我想起了我的祖母，我不希望自己的祖母也要经历这些，尤其是独自一人
This brought to me tears Thank you for all that you do!!!!!
看的我都哭了，感谢你们做的一切
I'm so touched, I have to say you guys are amazing people<3
我太感动了，我不得不说你们都很了不起
In every country, rich or poor, there are always minorities who are homeless, and neglected by the society, and this is more prent in other countries, as an example the US, Germany, Australia, Italy, Indonesia, and so forth. In comparison to other countries, Korea have a comparably less amount of elderly who are homeless.
在每个国家，不管是穷国还是富国，总有一小部分人无家可归，被社会所忽视，这种现象在其他国家更加的普遍，比如美国，德国，澳大利亚，意大利，印度尼西亚等等。相比之下，韩国无家可归的老人数量相对较少。
@깉알못 Does that make you feel better to think Korea is better than other countries?
认为韩国比其他国家更好，会让你心里觉得更舒服吗？
The dark side of korea... different from what we see in K-drama !!! Even the rich countries has its own flaws so stop being boastful about how rich is your country if some are suffering from poverty.
这是韩国的阴暗面，和我在韩剧里面看到的完全不一样。即便是富裕国家一样也有自己的缺陷，所以如果你们社会正有人遭受贫穷之苦，那么就不要吹嘘自己国家有多么富裕了
Thank you for all the good people in the world
感谢世界上的所有好人
You guys are the best ,this moved me to tears. I will try keep sending money as quick i can to support you guys.
你们是最棒的，这让我感动得流泪。我会尽快继续寄钱来支持你们。
It's really sad to see elderly live on the street, they're supposed to live comfortably at home. I wish them the best.
看到老年人住在街上真的很令人难过，他们应该舒适地住在家里。我祝他们一切顺利。
The message I’m getting from Asian Boss is: there’s a lot of older poor people in South Korea.
Why?
我从Asian Boss了解到：韩国有很多的贫穷老人，这是什么原因造成的？
I was born rich and was able to move from an underdeveloped country to Australia with my family. So from time to time, I would watch these types of videos to remind myself how privilege and lucky I am to have a roof over my head, food on the table, and a good job. And even if I had lost my job or my business closed down, I would not have to worry about anything.
我生在一个富裕家庭，能够和家人一起从一个不发达国家搬到澳大利亚。所以时不时地，我会看这些视频来提醒自己，能够有自己的房子，不愁吃穿，还有一份工作是多么的幸运。即便我丢了工作或生意倒闭，我也不需要担心任何事情。
I think in Korea the new generation( not everyone of course) is caught in the materialism so much while they forget about the old generation who sacrificed themselves to rebuild the economy in the past. I find it very selfish and superficial..and the government is not helping the elderly either.
我认为韩国新一代（当然不是所有人）陷入到了物质主义之中，他们已经忘记了牺牲自我建设韩国经济的老一辈人了。我觉得这很自私很肤浅，而且韩国政府也没有在帮助老人。
