我们的26座旅游车到不了很偏远的地方，但是我们也看到一些很穷的村寨。
A Jingpo household with few belongings. Cardboard boxes and a very old desk are some of the main furnitures; clothes are stored in the upright cabinet with sheet plastic cover.
这三张照片都是同一个房间。这个景颇人家很贫穷，装东西都是用纸盒子。一个课桌很破旧，大衣柜是薄塑料皮包的。
Several bags in the corner of the bedroom were marked “Urea,” a fertilizer, but I suspect that there were reused bags containing food stables.
塑料袋上写着“尿素”，装的可能是粮食。
A boy, of DeAng minority, playing with a tire. It does not look like he has many alternative play toys.
一个德昂小孩在玩汽车轮胎。我想他可能没有很多可以玩的东西。
A young woman coming back home from a day’s farm work. You can see the container and chopsticks she used for lunch—not only was the lunch cold, it was not even covered.
一个德昂女人下工回家。她的手里拿着饭盆和筷子，大概中饭是在外面吃的冷饭——饭盆连盖子都没有。
An old lady sifting through garbage, looking for recyclable items. This was in a medium-sized city (Dali, Yunnan).
在云南大理，一个老太太在加油站的垃圾桶里寻找可以回收的东西。
Along the rural highway atop the Gaoligong mountain, a service station advertised its services on the wall: Restaurant, Hotel (note the rooms numbered 1 to 4), and vehicle repair.
我们的汽车在高黎贡山上的这个地方加水。左边照片里的是饭店，右边的是住宿。
Rooms in this hotel start from more than 1000 yuan ($150) a night, while a young man of Dai minority can “buy” (in the word of our local tour guide) a bride from Myanmar across the borer for 2000 yuan.
这个旅店的标准房价是一千多元一夜，而不远的边寨的傣族小伙子可以从缅甸那边用两千元“买”（我们的傣族导游的话）一个新娘。
