富贵病社会 (汉英)
富贵病社会
为我们敞开大门的
是天堂般舒适的戒疗中心
不是地狱般黑暗的牢房
我们信仰上帝
更信仰黄金
附注1: 美国德州16岁“富二代”库奇因醉后驾车撞死4名路人,他的律师竟以“富贵病” (AFFLUENZA) 为由,说服法官,最终判他因被父母宠坏,不知道自己行为的后果,免去监禁,改为进入昂贵的戒疗中心的缓刑,引发美国社会的猛烈抨击。(2013.12.12)
『我們信仰上帝』(In God We Trust)是印在美國钞票上的國家格言。
附注2:美国联邦法警局悬赏5000美元追捕潜逃的缓刑犯“富贵病少年”(2015.12.20)
附注3:美国“富贵病少年”同他的母亲一起在墨西哥的一个度假区被逮 (2015.12.29)
THE AFFLUENZA SOCIETY
For us
the door is always wide open
to a heavenly rehab center
not a hellish prison cell
IN GOD WE TRUST
but
IN GOLD WE TRUST
even more
1. Accepting the defense's claim that “affluenza,” or the defective parenting by wealthy parents whose nurturing deprives their children of a sense of accountability for their misbehavior, a Texas judge sentenced a wealthy 16-year-old boy to 10 years of probation and a "time" of treatment in a $450,000 a year facility for his drunk driving spree that caused four deaths and additional injuries. (2013.12.12)
2. A $5K reward has been offered by the U.S. Marshals Service to find the infamous Texas 'affluenza teen' who is suspected of violating his probation and possibly fleeing the country. (2015.12.20)
3. US 'affluenza' teenager Ethan Couch arrested in Mexico - BBC News (2015.12.29)

富贵病AFFLUENZA,真是匪夷所思。以前一直把”富贵病”看作是身体上的毛病,现在竟可以此作为逃罪的借口,而且是富人享受的专利。穷人是否也要整出一个什么贫困病?
IN GOD WE TRUST
but
IN GOLD WE TRUST
even more
Well said.
祝非马先生新年万事如意!
顺便问一句,邮件收到了吗?

maybe there in a parallel universe
the young kid was sentenced to death 4 times
this could balance the affluenza ridicule a bit |
