bFor sure! I didn’t really understand some of the technical jargon they used in the film when they talked about social security in the US.
当然，我不明白影片中档他们谈到美国社会保险时提及的一些技术术语。
aLike what?
比如说？
bWell, they mentioned how people put away money in something called a 401K?
他们提到人们如何将钱投进一个叫401K的东西。
aYeah, I know it sounds weird, but a 401k is a type of retirement plan that allows employees to save and invest for their own retirement. Through a 401K, you can authorize your employer to deduct a certain amount of money from your paycheck and invest it in the plan. Everyone tries to contribute as much as possible so that when you retire, you can rest peacefully on your nest egg.
bThat’s interesting and logical I guess. In my country, we also have to contribute to a government-run retirement fund, but most people don’t really trust it so they just invest in properties or things like that.
bYeah, but corrupt governments in the past have created distrust among banks and financial institutions, so now people prefer to have money hidden in a jar or a piggy bank.
