When I first started covering the very rich, a wealth manager gave me this piece of advice: "The very rich are like the unemployed, except they don't have the edifying focus of trying to find a job." 在我刚开始报道超级富翁时,一名财富管理师给了我这样一条建议:除了不急着找工作外,那些超级富翁和失业者没什么两样。 In his new e-book, "Rich Man Poor Man," the right-leaning comedian Adam Carolla takes the idea even further, making a case that the rich and poor have many things in common. Everett Collection右翼人士 喜剧演员卡罗拉(Adam Carolla)在他的新电子书《富人与穷人》(Rich Man Poor Man)中将这一观点作了进一步阐述,认为富人和穷人在很多方面有着相似之处。 Of course, many will find Carolla's analogies between rich and poor highly offensive. Some are also a stretch (both rich and poor "use ladders with wheels," "wear eye patches," "keep liquor in a sack" and "use shovels on construction sites.") 当然,很多人会觉得卡罗拉对富人和穷人的类比非常无礼。其中一些还有点夸张,比如富人和穷人都“使用带滑轮的梯子” “戴眼罩” “把酒装入袋子里”以及“在建筑工地上使用铲子”。 And Carolla is perhaps best known for calling the Occupiers "a bunch of (expletive) self-entitled monsters." He has been a strong supporter of the wealthy in the current class divide. |
