I'm from Asia, and where I live, many people tend to think that everyone in the U.S. lives a comfortable or wealthy life. It’s almost a subconscious belief that Americans, on average, are more developed, educated, and generally enjoy a better lifestyle.
我来自亚洲，在我居住的地方，很多人都认为美国人的生活都很舒适富裕。这几乎是一种潜意识里的观念，认为美国人平均而言更发达、受教育程度更高，生活方式也更好。
But I’ve also read and heard that there are many people in the U.S. who struggle financially or live below the poverty line.
但我也读到和听到过，美国有很多人在经济上挣扎，或者生活在贫困线以下。
For those who’ve experienced poverty in America — what is it actually like? How does daily life feel when you’re struggling to make ends meet in a country that’s often seen as rich and full of opportunity?
对于那些在美国经历过贫困的人来说——那究竟是什么样的体验？在一个通常被视为富裕且充满机遇的国家，当你为了维持生计时挣扎求生时，日常生活是怎样的感受？
