A metaphorical example

A young wife didn't know the difference between direct and indirect taxation，so she asked her husband about it.

Her husband said， "Well， I'll give you an example to illustrate it by comparison. I consider it's just the same as the difference between two situations： asking me for money and secretly taking out money from my pockets."

用比喻來(lái)舉例

一位年輕的妻子不知道直接稅和間接稅的區(qū)別，就去問(wèn)她的丈夫。

她的丈夫說(shuō)：“我給你舉個(gè)例子，通過(guò)比較來(lái)說(shuō)明吧。我認(rèn)為兩種稅的區(qū)別就像兩種情況的區(qū)別：一種是向我要錢，另一種是暗中從我的口袋里拿錢?！?/p>

Smell the fresh-cut grass

Collapse onto warm soft dirt

Run amok barefoot
