In the same week that Prince Alwaleed complained to Forbes about not being high enough up its list of billionaires, a different sort of complaint was being made in an industrial tribunal in east London. Stella English, a former winner of Lord Sugar’s The Apprentice show, claimed that the £100,000 job she had won as a prize had been previously done by someone on a salary of a mere £35,000, making her feel an “overpaid lackey”. 就在沙特王子阿尔瓦利德•本•塔拉尔(Prince Alwaleed bin Talal)因为自身在富豪榜上的排名不够靠前而向《福布斯》(Forbes)杂志提出抗议的当周，伦敦东部的一个行业特别审理委员会受理了一起截然不同的抗议。斯特拉•英格利希(Stella English)是舒格勋爵(Lord Sugar)真人秀节目《学徒》(The Apprentice)的前任获胜者。她声称自己所赢得的年薪10万英镑的工作机会，此前是由一个年薪仅3.5万英镑的人完成的，这让她感到自己像是一个“光拿钱不干事的马屁精”。 Prince Alwaleed’s protest might be unseemly but at least it’s is psychologically straightforward. If Mr Forbes says you’ve only got $20bn when you think you’ve got more, I dare say it is quite annoying. 阿尔瓦利德王子的抗议或许不够体面，但至少他的心理非常容易理解。如果《福布斯》声称你仅有200亿美元，而你认为自己的财富不止于此，我相信这件事情确实非常令人不快。 |
