中国富二代如何接班？（双语）(2)

   《中国新贵》一书的作者大卫•古德曼说：“尽管人们喜欢从电视、书本上获知名人、富人的生活方式，但他们鄙视这些有钱人。”他表示，“富二代”培训课程的火暴也显示出商人们“渴望得到尊敬、渴望人们认可其社会地位”的心态。 "While people like reading or watching TV about the lives of the rich and famous, they look down on people who have made money," says David Goodman, the author of The New Rich in China. The boom in training courses shows that entrepreneurs "are desperate for respectability, desperate ... for people to recognize their social status," he says.

    某商学院国际贸易专业讲师布里顿•纽曼说，西方有“一代创业、二代兴业、三代败业”这样的说法，他表示：“而在中国，到了第二代家业就已经难保了。” In the West, there's a saying that the first generation builds the business, the second makes it a success, and the third wrecks it, says Briton Alex Newman, a lecturer in international business at a business school. "In China, it's happening in the second generation," Newman says.

    但纽曼也表示“富二代”中尚有不少成功范例。他说：“他们非常好学，为家族事业努力打拼。也有调查显示，不少“富二代”并不愿接手家族生意，而选择自己创业。” But there are also plenty of success stories, he says. "Many of them are very studious, working hard for their family business," Newman says. "Surveys indicate many are reluctant to take over, preferring to start their own companies," something Newman advocates.

    身为“富二代”至少还有一点可以聊以自慰：大多数年轻女性更愿意嫁给有钱人的后代。 The male Rich2Gers enjoy at least one consolation: A majority of women prefer to marry a wealthy heir.
