英国版《变形计》，你怎么看？
导读
最近一部被称为《变形计》 (Rich Kids go SKint，富二代变穷光蛋) 的英国真人秀火了之后，才知道原来贫穷真的会限制人的想象力…
顾名思义，这档真人秀节目就是将这些英国富二代从奢华的生活中拉出来，去和挣扎在温饱线上的家庭生活一段时间。
而最近一期节目中的富二代主人公Alex火了，本以为节目会上演一出狗血大戏，结果却让网友吃惊！
Alex, 20, lives with his parents in a mansion in Nunthorpe, near Middlesbrough, where he occupies the entire top floor - jokingly described as the ‘penthouse suite’' - complete with en-suite bedroom and a 55in TV.
20岁的Alex和他的父母住在米德尔斯堡附近的农索普的一所豪宅里，他自己独占了大别墅的顶层——被戏称为“顶楼套房”——配有一间套间卧室和一台55英寸的电视机。
His wardrobe alone is worth thousands of pounds. Canada Goose coats, worth up to £1,500 each, hang alongside £360 t-shirts and a £1,050 Louis Vuitton bag. His most valuable possession is his Rolex watch, which is estimated at £10,000.
仅他的衣柜就价值数千英镑。每件价值1500英镑的 Canada Goose coats外套，连同360英镑的T恤和1050英镑的路易威登包挂在一起。他最珍贵的财产是他的劳力士手表，估计价值1万英镑。
在谈及他的成长历程时，Alex坦言自己从小过着一帆风顺的奢华生活，也很幸运能够出生在这样一个家庭之中。
这次Alex参加节目的目的，就是希望能够走出自己的“舒适区”。而Alex节目中的寄宿家庭，则是一个贫困的三口之家。
On the other hand, the family welcoming Alex into their home struggle to get by on just £1,000 a month.
另一方面，Alex寄宿的家庭每月只能靠1000英镑勉强度日。
Parents Jen, 23, and Antony live in a small terrace home in Bolton with their son Jackson and first met at a homeless hostel four years ago.
家中的男女主人Antony 和Jen带着儿子Jackson住在一个小房子中，夫妻俩四年前都无家可归，两人是在一个旅社中相遇的。
While Jen is a full-time mum to their little boy, Antony works 40 hours a week but is determined to provide for them. But despite Antony’s tireless work, the family still find themselves struggling to get by on the £1,000 a month he earns after tax.
如今Jen是个全职妈妈，一家人的生活重担便落在爸爸Antony身上，他一周工作40个小时，每个月大约能挣1000英镑。
After rent and utilities paid and the £120 monthly food shop done, the couple has less than £40 to spend on themselves.
但扣去房租、伙食等必要的开销之后，一家人每个月可支配的钱只剩下40英镑了……
What they do have, Antony and Jenny spend it on their two-year old son, Jaxon, but they often have to borrow money from friends and relatives to get their son the care he needs.
Antony和Jen把钱都花在他们两岁的儿子Jaxon身上，但他们经常不得不从朋友和亲戚那里借钱来给儿子所需的照顾。
Jen and Antony have not been able to afford to replace their bedframe since it broke and only got halfway through decorating their room after they ran out of paint.
Jen和Antony没钱更换床架，墙也只漆了一半，因为没有钱去完成剩下的装饰了
After Alex arrives at the house he’ll be calling home for a week, Jen shows him round the family property - all the while apologising for the lack of decoration as they “just don’t have the money to do it”.
亚历克斯将会在这个家里呆上一个星期，
The difference between their lives was apparent when they started talking about holidays.
双方坐下来交谈之后，进一步发现金钱限制了彼此的想象力……
Alex has been on plenty of holidays and spent the summer traveling around Europe, visiting Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Budapest and more.
Alex去过很多地方度假，整个夏天都在欧洲旅行，游览巴黎、阿姆斯特丹、柏林、布达佩斯等等。
However Antony and Jenny tell him they have never been further than Blackpool, and even then the experience was far from a relaxing time. The couple revealed they saved for two months to afford a day holiday but that upon arriving in Blackpool, their savings were stolen, leaving them with nothing.
然而Antony和Jenny告诉他，一家三口去的最远的地方是黑潭市。即使在那时，这段经历也远非轻松愉快的时光。这对夫妇透露，刚到黑潭没多久，辛辛苦苦存了两个月的钱，就被偷了。
In the following life, for Alex, a rich second generation who has little concept of money, it will be quite a challenge for him to carefully buy food for four people with a budget of 15 pounds.
在接下来的生活中，对于Alex这样对于金钱没有多少概念的富二代而言，用15英镑的预算精打细算地去市场买四人份的菜，成了一个不小的挑战。
不过，Alex算是出色地完成了这项任务，买鸡时还砍了1英镑的价，最终预算甚至还有1.5英镑的找零~
Alex’s task the next day was to help the host, Antony, distribute leaflets to earn extra money. During the conversation, Alex was surprised to learn that Antony spent six or seven hours distributing 1,000 leaflets, but only earned 20 pounds.
而Alex第二天的任务，则是去帮男主人Antony 发传单赚外快。在交谈中，Alex惊讶地得知，Antony花上6、7个小时发1000份传单，却只能赚来20英镑。
But Antony was content with this, finding out that he had been homeless for two years after his parents kicked him out of the house as an adolescent drug addict. Until he met Jen, they started a family, which became a turning point in his life, he began to work hard and put his family first.
但Antony却对自己如今的这一切感到相当知足，原来他在青春期曾染上毒瘾，被父母赶出家门，过了两年无家可归的生活。直到他遇见了Jen，两人组建了家庭，这成为了他人生的转折点，他开始努力工作，一切以家庭为先。
After getting along with Anthony’s family these days, Alex has a deeper understanding of life. He is more grateful for what he has now, because these things are not easy to get.
这几天与Anthony一家相处下来，Alex小哥也对人生有了更深的感悟，他更加感恩如今拥有的一切，因为这些都得来不易。
Before leaving, Alex prepared a surprise for Anthony’s family: a bed frame that the whole family can only dream of! It may not seem like a lot of money, but it would take a family of scrimping all year to afford it. In addition, Alex would like to invite his family to take a trip to Blackpool to make up for the loss of their last trip.
临别前，Alex为Anthony一家人准备了一个惊喜：一个全家人梦寐以求的床架！虽然看起来这并不算什么值钱的东西，但这得让一家人省吃俭用一整年才能买得起。除此之外，Alex还想请一家人去黑潭市旅游一趟，以弥补上次出游泡汤的遗憾。
“I wanted to give you the opportunity to go [to Blackpool] again and this time do it properly. If you let me know the dates, I’m going to arrange family tickets plus your train fares to Blackpool Pleasure Beach.” said by Alex.
Alex：“我想要为你们提供再次去黑潭旅行的机会，这一次要好好地玩。请告知我你们出发的日期，我会安排好你们前往黑潭欢乐海滩的家庭套票和火车票。”
Alex小哥的寄宿体验结束得很暖心呢~~看了这期节目，很多网友都改变了想法。起初大家对富二代们充满了偏见，并对他们的挥金如土和对贫困生活的无知表示愤怒。
更有网友评论：“为啥我看个变形记要哭啊！？大部分富二代孩子其实都很好啊，他们出乎意料的善解人意，善良和体贴。他们和新家庭告别时我真的没法忍住不哭啊！”
也许有钱或没钱都不是罪过，富二代和穷二代都不能决定自己的出身。
但不管是善良如Alex，还是努力如Anthony一家的人，都是值得尊敬的。
那么对于这种青春励志生活类的体验纪实节目，小伙伴们又是怎么看的呢？
