  BEC商务考试热词聚集:富二代穷二代

  The simultaneous emergence of the "rich second generation" has triggered a heated debate in the Chinese media.

  涌现出的“富二代”在中国媒体间引发了热议。

  "热词”解析

  rich second generation:就是如今的“富二代”。

  而poor second generation(贫二代)则是从rich second generation(也可以略写为Rich 2G)衍生出的字眼。

  延伸阅读

  顾名思义,rich second generation出生自富裕的nouveau riche(新兴富裕)家庭,他们身着brand-name clothes(名牌服饰),开着luxury cars(豪华轿车),很多人认为这些rich second generation纯属是在flaunt their wealth(炫富)。

  但并不是所有高校都支持学生开车进学校。例如在复旦大学,即使是回校充电的MBA也不准开车进校园,而且很多道路设计成了one-way street(单行道),而上海交大则在校内提供了shuttle bus(摆渡车)和bicycle rental service(自行车出租服务)。

  While the lavishing of gifts by the country's nouveau riche on their children is seen as beyond reproach, the sharp contrast they present with the poor students, who have never seen 10 100-yuan-notes at one time, is arousing concern over the yawning wealth gap.

  虽说这些新兴富裕阶层给自己孩子送奢华的礼物无可厚非,但是他们跟那些从来没有同时见过十张100元钱的贫困学生们形成的强烈对比,正在引起越来越多人对不断加大的贫富差距的关注。
