有民谣说:“张家有财一千万,九个邻居穷光蛋,平均下来算一算,个个都有上百万”。这是社会上对统计平均数的一个嘲讽,普通老百姓对此可以讥笑了之,但做统计的,特别是做社会经济统计的人,不能一个耳朵进一个耳朵出,更不该跟着嘲笑。自嘲精神是应该有的,可随风唱影自毁长城就有失于职业水准了。 A folk said: “Zhang has a wealth of ten million, nine neighbors pauper, the average count down, all have millions.” This is a mockery of the statistical average in the community. Ordinary people can ridicule this. However, people who make statistics, especially socio-economic statistics, can not get their ears out of one ear, let alone ridicule them. Self-deprecating spirit should be there, can be self-destruct with the wind and the shadow of the Great Wall have lost their professional standards.
