street-smart:生存技能 (從生活中的困難記取教訓所累積的能力)

TORONTO — Say the words “financial planning” to a roomful of high school students and most eyes are likely to glaze over. Most, that is, except perhaps for some who have had their eyes opened by “Funny Money,” a witty, one-hour presentation about personal finance geared specifically to their age group.

多倫多---除了有看過有關個人理財的益智節目「有趣的錢財」的高中生外，大部分學生聽到「理財」二字可能會呈現呆滯狀態。

James Cunningham, a Canadian comic who also hosts the U.S. Cooking Channel’s street food show, “Eat Street,” says he created “Funny Money” to help students get savvy about managing their finances.

主持美國美食節目「潮食街」(港譯)的加拿大漫畫家詹姆士‧郭明翰(James Cunningham)說，他做「有趣的錢財」這節目是要幫助學生(如何)聰明理財。

"It’s done with a light, street-smart touch": For example, Mr. Cunningham asks his audience how much they think they’ll need to spend on school supplies in a year: “The lowest amount I ever heard was $23,” he tells them. “The student was quite adamant about it: ‘$23, sir; I have a plan.’
「這節目以輕鬆、詼諧的方式談社會上一些生存技巧」譬如說，郭明翰先生問學生觀眾，一年得在學校雜七雜八的費用上花多少錢。郭先生說「目前為止聽到最少的是23美元，那位學生還很堅持地說『沒錯!叔叔!就是23美元!因為我自有規劃(打算)!!』」

“‘A plan,’ I said. ‘What’s your plan?’ ‘Shoplifting,’ he said.

我(郭先生)說「規劃(打算)?」「啥規劃(打算)阿?」那位學生說「嘿嘿!當個小扒手囉!」
