　　Hong Kong’s protest movement – now more thanthree weeks old – has largely focused on definitionsof universal suffrage and various methods forelecting political leaders.

　　如今，香港抗议活动已持续超过三周。在很大程度上，这次抗议活动争论的焦点集中于普选的定义以及选举政治领袖的不同方法上。

　　However, many of those taking part also feel economically disenfranchised by a system theyblame for leaving a generation locked out of the housing market and making an alreadytroubling income divide even worse.

　　然而，许多参加抗议活动的人同样感觉到，现行体制也让他们在经济上被剥夺了应有的权利。他们认为，在现行体制下，一代香港人因买不起房子而被排除于香港楼市之外。而且，这个体制还让香港原本就问题重重的收入差距问题变得更为严重。

　　On Monday CY Leung, Hong Kong chief executive, appeared to confirm protesters’ fears whenhe warned in an interview with the FT and other foreign media that a fully open votingsystem would lead to populism by shifting power towards low-earners.

　　周一，香港特首梁振英似乎是确认了抗议者内心的这种担忧。当时他在接受英国《金融时报》及其他外媒采访时警告说，完全开放的选举体制会导致权力向低收入阶层倾斜，从而导致民粹主义。

　　While Hong Kong’s establishment has stressed the importance of protecting the interests ofthe business community, many in the street believe political change is needed to fix economicimbalances.

　　尽管香港当权者曾强调过保护商界人士的利益，许多走上街头的抗议者还是相信，必须通过政治改革，改变经济上的不平等。
