I live in a primarily agricultural community, and most of the population live hand to mouth. Parents keep children home from school to work in the fields. If there is a flood or a drought, people starve. A new factory would mean regular monthly salaries as well as protection against natural disasters or a sudden drop in the price of our main agricultural product, say, corn.
我住在一个以农业为主的社区里,大多数人都是靠天吃饭。父母把孩子留在家里,他们在田里干活。如果有洪水或干旱,人们就会挨饿。新建一家工厂将意味着正常的月薪来抵御自然灾害的或者我们主要农产品(比如玉米)价格的突然下跌。
