翻譯公司帶你學(xué)雙語(yǔ)知識：暴富綜合癥 sudden wealth syndrome

前段時(shí)間到處熱議的3.5億元彩票得主不知道讓多少人羨慕得紅了眼。前兩年在股市一夜暴富的人也曾一度被很多人嫉妒。誰(shuí)叫人家運氣好呢？周?chē)说膽B(tài)度咱們先不說(shuō)，單是這巨額獎金得主本人的反應其實(shí)就挺讓人好奇的。據說(shuō)很多暴富的人都多少有些sudden wealth syndrome呢，你聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)嗎？

We have seen increasing numbers of people with a cluster of issues and symptoms associated with the stress and anxiety of sudden success or wealth. We have coined the term "Sudden Wealth Syndrome" to describe their shared psychological issues.

我們見(jiàn)過(guò)很多人在突然獲得成功或得到巨額財富時(shí)因為壓力和緊張情緒而導致的一系列癥狀。他們共有的這種心理狀態(tài)叫做“暴富綜合癥”。

The "wealth" part of sudden wealth syndrome has normally been associated with the riches accumulated from dot-com IPOs and the rapid rise of the Nasdaq stock market in the late 90s. However, it also applies to lottery winners, estate heirs, and people whose get-rich-quick schemes actually worked.

他們“暴富”的來(lái)源在上世紀90年代后期通常指網(wǎng)絡(luò )概念股狂潮階段以及納斯達克股市狂飆時(shí)期。同時(shí)，“暴富”的來(lái)源也可以指彩票得主，地產(chǎn)繼承人以及那些迅速發(fā)財計劃進(jìn)行順利的人。

Signs of sudden wealth syndrome:

? Being wealthy makes for more guilt than pleasure.

? Instead of feeling powerful and decisive, you feel paralyzed and unable to decide how to spend your money.

? You can't stand the envy of friends and acquaintances -- you find yourself becoming more isolated.

? You feel like you don't quite deserve the money and you can't believe it's really yours.

? You're afraid that you'll lose your money and your good fortune will simply vanish overnight.
