        金融危机后富人更富
　　The rich grew richer last year, even as the world endured the worst recession in decades。
　　尽管全球经历了几十年来最严重的经济衰退，但去年富人们的财富仍出现了增长。　
　　A stock market rebound helped the world's ranks of millionaires climb 17 percent to 10 million, while their collective wealth surged 19 percent to $39 trillion, nearly recouping losses from the financial crisis, according to the latest Merrill Lynch-Capgemini world wealth report。
　  据美林-凯捷最新发布的世界财富报告，在股市反弹的推动下，去年全球的百万富翁数量增加了17%，达到1000万人，他们的财富总量增长了19%，达到39万亿美元，基本上收回了在金融危机中所受的损失。　　
　　Stock values rose by half, while hedge funds recovered most of their 2008 losses, in a year marked by government stimulus spending and central bank easing。
    去年，由于多国政府实行经济刺激计划，中央银行放宽货币政策，全球股票价值上升了一半，对冲基金也收回了在2008年的大部分损失。　　
　　"We are already seeing distinct signs of recovery and, in some areas, a complete return to 2007 levels of wealth and growth," Bank of America Corp wealth management chief Sallie Krawcheck said。
    美国银行财富管理业务主管萨利•克劳切克说：“我们已经看到明显的复苏迹象，部分地区的财富和经济增长已经完全恢复到了2007年的水平。”　
　　The fastest growth in wealth took place in India, China and Brazil, some of the hardest hit markets in 2008. Wealth in Latin America and the Asia-Pacific soared to record highs。
    其中，印度、中国和巴西是全球财富增长最快的地区，这几个国家同时也是2008年遭受金融危机冲击最为严重的市场。拉丁美洲和亚太地区的财富总量暴涨，创历史新高。　　
　　Asia's millionaire ranks rose to 3 million, matching Europe for the first time, paced by a 4.5 percent economic expansion。
   去年亚洲的富翁数量增至300万，首次与欧洲持平，该地区的经济增幅达到4.5%。

         美国是去年富翁数量最多的国家，达到287万；其次是日本，达165万人；德国为86.1万；中国为47.7万。

  　瑞士则是富翁密度最高的国家，每1000个成年人中就有近35个富翁。
　　Yet as portfolios bounced back, investors remained wary after a collapse that erased a decade of stock gains, fueled a contraction in the global economy and sent unemployment soaring。
　然而尽管股市反弹，刚经历了金融风暴的投资者们仍然较为谨慎。这场金融危机让十年的股票收益化为乌有，导致全球经济萎缩、失业率高涨。
　　The report, based on surveys with more than 1,100 wealthy investors with 23 firms, found that the rich were well served by holding a broad range of investments, including commodities and real estate。
　　这一报告基于对23个企业的1100多名富翁投资者开展的多项调查。调查发现，富人们通过多领域的投资获得较高收益，其中包括商品和房地产等。
