　　A new series of eye-opening portraits explores the age-old disparity in food consumption between the rich and poor as it holds fast throughout history.

　　Power Hungry is a collaboration between photographer Henry Hargreaves and food stylist Cailin Levin, and juxtaposes meals enjoyed by the top one per cent under 'authoritarian regimes throughout history' with the meager daily dishes consumed by the lower classes.

　　这新一组让人眼界大开的照片展示的是历史变迁中，穷人和富人之间长时间存在的食物分配差距。

　　“权利饥饿”是摄影师亨利·哈格里夫和食物造型师卡琳·莱温的一次合作，照片展示的是历史长河中，独裁体制下上层阶级享用的每一餐和下层阶级贫乏的每一餐的并列对比。

　　“We want people to literally and figuratively sit down and look across a table to see the glaring disparities between the 'haves and have-nots',”Mr Hargreaves states, having photographed staged table-tops from Ancient Egypt and Rome to current-day meals eaten in North Korea, Syria and the U.S.

　　“我们希望人们真正或象征性地坐下来，看看餐桌上“穷人和富人”之间截然两极的分配不均，”哈格里夫先生说道，他拍摄了在朝鲜、叙利亚和美国从古埃及古罗马时期，直到今天餐桌上的变化。

　　Modern America

　　Modern America: Here in the U.S., while the 'food gap' may be less pronounced, one in six of the population live beneath the poverty line according to the latest Census data. Pictured (right) fine food for the wealthy and (left) cheap, unhealthy fare for the poorer population.

　　现代美国：在美国，“食物短缺”也许并没得到足够宣示，但是根据最新的户口普查资料显示，六分之一的人口在贫困线以下挣扎。(右图)是富人们丰盛的食物，而(左图)是分给穷人廉价的、不健康的食物。

　　Syria

　　叙利亚：(右图)巴沙尔·阿萨德总统和他的妻子据说尽情享受着中东和西方风味结合的山珍海味，然而巴沙尔“故意看着上千人饿死”(左图)，摄影师亨利·哈格里夫说道。

　　18th Century France

　　Let them eat cake: In 18th Century France, before the revolution, an unskilled laborer in 1789 could expect to spend 97per cent of his wages on bread, due to harvest shortages (left). Meanwhile, monarchs dined on delicacies including sugared fruit, champagne and pastries (right).

　　来吃蛋糕吧：在18世纪的法兰西，还未改革的1789年，因为收成短缺，一名不熟练工人要花97%的工资在吃的上(右图)。与此同时，君主们则享受着糖分充足的水果，香槟和甜点的美味佳肴(左图)。

　　Ancient Roma

　　Glutton: As for the ancient Romans, the top one per cent of this historical period are still renowned for their gloriously over-indulgent feasts (right). The everyday Roman man, on the other hand, would have been more accustomed to a diet mostly of millet (left).

　　贪吃的人：在古罗马，这一时期的上层阶级仍以他们骄奢糜烂的盛宴所驰名(右图)。而另一方面，普通的罗马人则已经习惯于以杂谷为食(左图)。

　　Early civilisation

　　Early civilisation: Ancient Egyptian rulers and monarchs would also have enjoyed a much richer variety of foods (right), whereas poor members of society had to make do with simple bread and vegetables (left).

　　早期文明时期：古埃及的统治者们和君主们也享受着五花八门的大餐(右图)，然而社会上的穷人只能吃简单的面包和蔬菜(左图)。

　　10条不可不知的西方餐桌礼仪

　　1.When helping a woman pull her chair to the table, hold it and guide it. Don't shove it againstthe back of her legs.

　　2.If you're seated at a table with eight or fewer guests, wait for everyone to be served and forthe hostess to begin eating before you dig in. At a long banquet table, it's OK to start whenseveral people are seated and served.

　　1.为女士拉椅子的时候，要把椅子抓住了，留个角度，让女士好走过去。别让椅子腿碰到女士的腿。

　　2.如果就餐人数少于等于八人，那就等所有人都坐好了，女主人开始用餐了，再开动。如果是长餐桌，那么只要有几个人入座进食了，你也就可以开始吃了。

　　3.All things not having to do with food should remain off the table: keys, clutch bags, cigarettepacks, sunglasses, BlackBerrys.

　　3.一切和食物无关的东西都不应该出现在餐桌上，包括：钥匙、手袋、烟盒、墨镜还有手机。

　　4.Don't snap your napkin open or unfurl it showily like it's an Olympic flag.

　　4.不要把餐巾展开，看起来像是在展示奥林匹克会旗一样。

　　5.If you prefer not to have wine while dining out, don't turn your glass upside down, and don'tmake a big deal of saying you don't drink. Simply place your fingertips on the rim of the glassand say "Not today, thanks."

　　5.如果在用餐时你不想饮酒，不要把酒杯倒过来放，也不要很在意地宣布你不喝酒。只要轻轻地把指尖放在酒杯边缘，说一句"今天不喝，谢谢。"

　　6.If you're eating and want to take a sip, dab your mouth with your napkin to avoid stainingthe rim of the glass.

　　6.如果你在吃东西的时候，想要啜一口饮料的话，那就先拿餐巾把嘴擦干净了，以免在杯子边缘留下残迹。

　　7.Grabbing a bowl of salad or a saltshaker as it's being passed to someone who asked for it isthe equivalent of cutting in line: greedy and rude.

　　7.把原本要递给别人的沙拉碗或者盐瓶从半道截下来，这基本上就等于在说：你是个既贪婪又粗鲁的人。

　　8.On the subject of passing: Dishes go counterclockwise, but if someone to your left asks forsomething, you can hand it directly to him.

　　8.餐桌上要传递东西的话，规则一般是逆时针传递。不过，如果坐在你左手边的人想要什么东西时，你也可以直接递给他。

　　9.When you excuse yourself to go to the restroom, just say "Please excuse me."

　　9.想去洗手间的时候，只要说"失陪一下"就可以了。

　　10.When out with friends or family - even at a fancy restaurant - it's OK to ask for yourleftovers to be wrapped. But don't do it at a business lunch or dinner.

　　10.和朋友家人一起外出用餐，即使是到很高级的餐馆，也可以要求把吃剩下的食物打包带走。不过，如果是在商务宴会上，就不要这么做了。
