譯文如下：
 
If someone in Beijing wants to buy a 100 square meters apartment that's worth 3 million RMB, the cost for different social classes are as follows:
 Peasant:If a peasant owns half acre land with annually yield of 400 RMB,then the person needs to do farming from Tang Dynasty to today without considering any natural disasters.
General worker: A general worker whose monthly salary is 1500 RMB needs to work consecutively from the Opium War to today without taking any breaks
White-collar:A white-collar employee whose yearly salary is 60000 RMB has to work from 1960 without eating or drinking or taking any breaks
Robber:A robber is recommended to commit crimes to white-collars for 2500 times for about 30 years.
 
注：房子翻譯成了“apartment”而不是house,因?yàn)閔ouse通常指別墅,而apartment指普通商品房的公寓
農(nóng)民翻譯成了"peasant"而不是farmer,因?yàn)閒armer也有農(nóng)場主的意思,容易引起歧義
畝 翻譯成了"half acre",英文當(dāng)中沒有直接對應(yīng)的畝的翻譯,acre 是英畝,1英畝=6畝,所以3畝地就是半英畝
