摘要
乔治·萧伯纳(George Bernard Shaw,1856--1950),英国剧作家、批评家和小说家。1925年获得诺贝尔文学奖。1933年曾访问中国并会晤了宋庆龄、鲁迅。著作有《鳏天的房地产》(1885--1892)、《华伦夫人的职业》(1894)、《恺撒和克莉奥佩特拉》(1898)和《人与超人》(1903)等。
萧伯纳的作品习惯以似是而非的论点来揭露人类社会的各种弊端,本文也是一样。文章用形象的事例,犀利而幽默的语言:揭示了百万富翁生活中的异化现象,颇为发人深省。
The millionaire class, a small but growing one into which any of us may be flung tomorrow by the accidents of commerce, is perhaps the most neglected in the community. As far as I know, this is the first tract that has ever been written for millionaires.
