人在異鄉容易被人騙
加上語言不通,就很容易妥協。
心不甘情不願地就簽下租屋合約
自此之後,便踏上不歸路。

威爾斯選讀- What Money Can't Buy 錢買不到的東西
This exceptionally clear and easy-to-read analysis of the way monetary incentives have penetrated our lives is misnamed. It’s about what money shouldn’t buy, rather than what it can’t.
這份有關貨幣獎勵措施的分析已經滲透到我們的生活裡,這份分析非常清晰易讀,但卻還是被誤解了。這是有關於什麼東西是錢不應該買的,而不是不能買的
Michael Sandel gives many examples of the way that you can buy things that, until recently, were not put up for sale: places at a papal mass; an individual’s fertility; and even other people’s lives (the multi-billion dollar market in re-selling life insurance involves betting on how quickly people will die).
邁克爾•桑德爾提供了許多例子說明有那些東西是你可以買但直到最近,都還沒有被拿出來銷售的:比方是羅馬教皇彌撒的周遭地點,亦或是一個人的生育能力,甚至是其他人的生命(這項二次壽險的市場有數十億美元的潛力,是一場押注人會死的多快賭局)。
Sandel knows well the economists’ case for pricing anything and everything: it is the most efficient and least coercive way, they say, of allocating goods to those who want them most. Sandel accepts that with many commodities, the economists are right. But pricing items can produce effects opposite to those intended. He cites a study of a nursery in Israel where some parents were persistently late in picking up children. The owners of the nursery introduced a system of fines as a deterrent.

Australian cigarette packaging 澳洲香煙包裝
Tobacco companies and retailers that try to circumvent Australia's plain-packaging laws could face prosecution, according to health authorities. They're investigating whether to take action against cardboard covers and stickers that hide graphic anti-smoking warnings.
根據澳洲衛生部門,某些試圖規避澳大利亞煙草包裝法的煙草商和零售商可能即將面臨起訴。他們正在調查這些煙草商和零售商是否利用紙板蓋和貼紙來遮蔽隱藏反吸煙警告的圖形。也考慮會採取行動對付。
One firm that produces labels says that sales have soared because consumers can't stand the sight of the packets they buy. Just over a month ago, Australia banned all tobacco company logos and colors from packaging, which now has disturbing color pictures of smokers suffering from tongue and lung cancer.
一間生產貼紙標籤的公司說他們的銷售之所以會一路飆升,是因為消費者無法忍受看到他們所買的香菸包裝。就在一個月前,澳洲禁止所有的煙草公司的商標和彩色的包裝。取而代之的則是已罹癌的吸煙者令人作噁的肺和舌頭的彩色圖片。
