最上面的三个答案不值得评价。divide the rich from the pool The differentiation betwwen the rich and the poor. the seperation between the rich and the poor————————注意问题是“贫富分化”，“分化”用gap，disparity表达准确吗？“分化”和“差距”外延与内涵相同吗？我们来看看几本词典的解释：gap：1）金山词霸中《美国传统词典的释义）A conspicuous difference or imbalance; a disparity:差距，悬殊：明显的不同或不平衡；差异：A problematic situation resulting from such a disparity:差异所造成的困难状况：2）牛津高阶：a difference that separates people, or their opinions, situation, etc:the gap between rich and poor * the gap between theory and practicesee also CREDIBILITY, GENERATIONGAP3）Merriam－Webster：lack of balance : DISPARITY a wide difference in character or attitude a problem caused by some disparitydisparity没必要多说了，它强调的是“不等，差距”。polarization强调的是“两极的分化”，看看“英汉大词典”的原例句（1402页）是：a growing world plolarization between rich and poor countries.世界性日趋严重的富国和贫国的两极分化。——————————————————haves and have－nots也不是什么新鲜词汇。很显然，它用在非正式语中为主，特别是新闻英语中。——————polarization最好division次之。其他的勉强及格。

贫富差距英文：poverty gap。
贫富差距也被称为贫富不均、收入不公平等。贫富差距过大会造成犯罪率升高等社会潜在危害。对于社会的安全运行和健康发展是十分不利的。这已经成为一种社会共识。
主要包括地区非均衡发展战略和城乡非均衡发展战略。非均衡发展战略使经济活动呈现地域分布上的高度不均，城乡之间和地区之间的工资水平和工作机会因此而存在巨大差异，再加上户籍制度等体制障碍限制了劳动力的自由流动，结果使城乡和地区之间的收入差距不断扩大。
