Malefactors of Great Wealth

罪恶的大富豪

这个用于源自美国总统Theodore Roosevelt(1858-1919)所说的话。1907年罗斯福把反对政府决策的资产阶级称为malefactors of great wealth罪恶的大富豪。从那以来,这句话就用来抨击经济大行业的反社会性。

Mr.Bush has shown no inclination,for example,to attack today's"malefactors of great wealth,"contenting himself so far with an admonition to the nation in his Inaugural Address to take care not to confuse mere riches with lasting worth.

比如说,布什毫无攻击现代“罪恶的大富豪”之意,到现在为止满足于仅在就职演说时告诫国民不要把单纯的小资产和永久性资产相混淆。
