The general point is this: Governments have a unique role to play to ensure that all young members of a generation – poor children as well as rich ones – have a chance. A poor kid is unlikely to break free of his or her parents’ poverty without strong and effective government programs that support high-quality education, health care, and decent nutrition.
基本要点是这样的：政府在保证所有年轻人——不论贫富——都拥有机会方面扮演着独一无二的角色。穷孩子不可能在没有强力而有效的支持高质量教育、卫生保健和全面营养的政府计划的情况下摆脱自身和父母的贫穷状态。
