  The one percent. The ultra-rich. The obscenely wealthy.

  百分之一的人是超级富翁。

  No matter how you describe them, the world’s richest people made more money in 2017 than any year in recorded history.

  不管你怎么形容他们,2017年,世界上最富有的人赚的钱比历史上任何一年都多。

  A new report by Swiss bank UBS found that billionaires increased their wealth by 20 percent — to a combined total of $8.9 trillion.

  瑞士联合银行的一份新报告发现,亿万富翁的财富增加了20%,总共达到8.9万亿美元。

  “The past 30 years have seen far greater wealth creation than the Gilded Age,” the report reads. “That period bred generations of families in the US and Europe who went on to influence business, banking, politics, philanthropy and the arts for more than 100 years. With wealth set to pass from entrepreneurs to their heirs in the coming years, the 21st century multi-generational families are being created.”

  报告称:“过去30年创造的财富远远超过了镀金时代。那一时期美国和欧洲孕育的几代家庭在100多年的时间里影响着商业、银行业、政治、慈善和艺术。未来几年随着财富从企业家手中转移到其继承人手中,21世纪的多代家庭正在形成。”

  In the past year, 44 billionaires were created through their inherited wealth.

  在过去的一年里,有44位通过继承财富而成为亿万富翁的。

  Meanwhile, China’s ultra-rich are rapidly growing, with two new billionaires created every week.

  与此同时,中国的超级富豪人数正在迅速增长,每周新增两名亿万富翁。

  Currently, there are 2,158 billionaires. Asia has 711 billionaires, compared to 631 in North America. In the next three years, the region’s ultra-rich will be even wealthier than their American counterparts.

  目前,共有2158位亿万富翁。亚洲有711位亿万富翁,而北美只有631位。在未来三年里,亚洲的超级富豪将比他们的美国同行更富有。

  “Nowhere else in the world can you find better conditions for growth than in China. The continued progress of wealth creation is supported by government policies liberating the economy, while [urbanization] and business model disruption has crafted powerful new entrepreneurs,” the report reads.

  报告还称:“世界上没有任何地方比中国更适合增长财富。政府解放经济的政策支持了财富的持续增长,而(城市化)和商业模式的颠覆造就了强大的新企业家。”
