【读经济学人】太注重种族不公，但却对阶级不公视而不见？
☞,

mobility这个词浅层面指the ability to move or be moved freely and easily；还有一层意思就是the ability to move between different levels in society or employment。后者不是指个体跨越社会阶级的能力，而是整个社会的阶级流动性。所以在后一层意思上，immobility对应的就是“阶级固化”。大家可以去看一下有一期的经济学人影片：Why it’s harder to earn more than your parents，说得就是现在社会阶级越来越固化，影片的主题就是谈到的social mobility。

There is an embarassing record in history: General Charles O'Hara (1740 – 25 February 1802) may be one of the unluckiest individuals in human history. He was a military officer who served in the Seven Years War, American War of Independence, and French Revolutionary War, and later served as Governor of Gibraltar. Even though he was always in a high position, what the most humiliating thing is that during his career, O'Hara surrendered to both George Washington and Napoleon Bonaparte.
Becoming a backdrop and stepping-stone to the hero's history must be awkward, not to mention his not sterling record reflect badly on the whole army, not just himself.

【#Jeff英语知识锦囊#——我有个问题要问你 ≠ I have a question to you】
看起来这个表达很对，是不是？但是歪果仁根本听不懂，正确的说法应该是：
✅I have a question for you.
或者一定要用 to 的话，可以说：
✅I have a question to ask you.

- Excuse me, Professor O'Neill

不好意思，奥尼尔博士

- I have a question to ask you.

我有个问题想请教您。
Now I have a question for you.

现在我要问你一个问题。
