Globally, wealth skyrocketed 8.3 per cent over the past year to a record $263trillion (£165trillion). 全球总财富比去年增加了8.3%，达到历史最高值263万亿美元。 But the research found the distribution of the riches has become increasingly unequal - with the median wealth plunging 14 per cent since 2007 to $3,641 (£2,289) per adult. 但是报告同时指出财富的分配比以往更加不平等，财富中位数（介于最富有和最贫穷中点）为每个成年人3641美元，比2007年猛跌了14%。 As a sign of wealth concentration, the number of dollar millionaires globally has shot up 164 per cent since 2000 to 34.8million individuals today - with 41 per cent of them living in the United States. 全球百万富翁人数，作为财富集中的一个标志，自2000年以来增加了164%，达到现在3480万人，其中的41%居住在美国。 The report said: ‘The overall global economy may remain sluggish, but this has not prevented personal wealth from surging ahead during the past year.’ 报告指出：“全球经济形势可能会持续低迷，但这仍然未能阻止个人财富的增长在去年处于领先地位。” The study of the wealth holdings of 4.7billion adults in more than 200 countries found aggregate household wealth has more than doubled since 2000, when it stood at $117trillion (£74trillion). 在一项对200多个国家近47亿成年人的财富值的调查研究中发现，家庭财富总值是2000年117万亿美元的两倍。 |
