Wealthy parents pass on three quarters of their fortunes to their children meaning it will take 300 years for the offspring of today's super-rich to have average incomes, a survey has revealed. 研究显示，富有的父母们会把四分之三的财产留给子女们，这就意味着现今富豪的后代三百年后才会与普通人收入持平。 The sons and daughters of prestigious families are also likely to live longer than average, more likely to attend Oxbridge, live in expensive houses, and go on to become doctors or lawyers. 出身望族的子女们也会比普通人长寿，更可能进牛津剑桥，住豪宅，成为医生或律师。 There is also little difference in wealth or social standing when the richest families of the Victoria era are compared to their descendants today, according to the study. 研究发现，维多利亚时期的豪门与他们今天的后代相比，其财富和地位也只有微小的变化。 Publishing their findings in the Economic Journal, Professor Gregory Clark and Dr Neil Cummins said: 'What your great-great-grandfather was doing is still predictive of what you are doing now.' 《经济学杂志》发表了该项研究。格雷戈里·克拉克教授和尼尔·卡明斯博士说：“你的高曾祖父的阶层预示了你的阶层。” The pair examined the records of 19,000 people, including more than 600 rare family names such as Bazalgette, the Pepys, and Bigge. |
