• The gap between the rich and poor has been rising since the late 1970s and has become one of the most important problems in modern society. Higher income inequality appears to be linked with societal ills such as increased academic cheating, school bullying, and homicide and decreased physical and mental health.
  “社会重要问题”打头的模式，贫富差距是比较引人注目的问题，the gap between the rich and poor. 后面补充对这个问题的认识，因为higher income inequality …be linked with societal ills …..我觉得societal ills 这几个讲得并不好， 仇富啊，社会心态，社会融合，心理健康等这个层面的大议题可能会更好一些。
  Why then, do we not see widespread protests? In general, why do citizens tend to accept the status quo rather than support societal change? One possibility is that individuals are not well informed. However, supplying accurate information on income inequality does not affect preferences for income redistribution, or desires to change the current system.
  这一段充满了故事，至少有两小段故事，why 1? Why 2? One possibility is that … however, …. 一个回答，一个转折讲了两个事，还蛮有意思。Preference for income redistribution学习一下。
  Besides information, perhaps motivation matters. Among other potential explanations, this research tests whether social mobility is a pivotal factor that can affect people’s motivation to defend the overarching system as fair, just, and legitimate. Given the value of people’s subjective experience, we focus on perceived social mobility, that is, beliefs about the likelihood of people moving up and down the socioeconomic ladder.
  这篇文章的行文模式和很多其他的并不一样，他在这一段，可以说是有些生硬的把主题转移到social mobility 的问题与上一段关系的探讨上，这有点类似一个研究生对一个问题产生了兴趣，然后就想，是不是某一个变量也会对结果产生影响，于是就提出了这样的一个研究假设，但是并没有妨碍这个作者做出来研究，发表文章，所以我们有时候还是要容忍自己的不完美，先把事情做出来再说，毕竟大作也不是人人可做，也不是人一直会出的，一生能有一两篇就不错了。 话回到我们的文章。Perhaps motivation matters, among other potential explanations,  this research tests….social mobility …. a pivotal factor …to defend the overarching system as …., 没有介绍其他motivation， 直接讲到social mobility, given the value of subjective experience, 直接讲到perceived social mobility. 然后，that is, 解释 belief about….
  First, we outline relevant theory and the role of perceived social mobility. Afterward we test our hypotheses experimentally: explicating how perceived social mobility can undermine or uphold people’s willingness to defend the overarching system.
  First… afterward…. 第一步回顾relevant theory … 第二步去test our hypotheses …. Explicating (解释，说明) …..how perceived social mobility can undermine or uphold….. 进一步将研究问题总结。
