A metaphorical example 隐喻性的例子

A young wife didn't know the difference between direct and indirect taxation, so she asked her husband about it.

Her husband said: "Well, I'll give you an example to illustrate it by comparison. I consider it's just the same as the difference between two situations: asking me for money and secretly taking out money from my pockets."

一个年轻的妻子不知道直接税和间接税的区别，就去问她的丈夫。

她的丈夫说：“哦，我给你举个例子，通过比较来说明吧。我认为两种税的区别就像两种情况的区别：一种是向我要钱，另一种是暗中从我的口袋里拿钱。”
