A metaphorical example

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."

用比喻来举例

一位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：“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。”
