标题:What rich Indians fear
And what should really scare them
正文:IT IS NOT just naive tourists who ask the question. It is common, too, among highly educated Indians who live in nice homes and employ maids, cooks and drivers. It goes something like this: how, in a country so transparently unequal, does social peace largely prevail? Why are India’s cities—where the gulf between rich and poor is most readily visible—not more like Rio de Janeiro or Johannesburg? Manu Joseph, a contrarian newspaper columnist, attempts some answers in a new book, “Why the Poor Don’t Kill
Us”. It is the talk of living rooms across the country.
知识点:maid /meɪd/,n.
a female domestic servant, especially one who cleans a house or helps with cooking; 女仆;女佣
• The maid comes to clean the house every Tuesday and Thursday.(女仆每周二和周四来打扫房子。)
