周一下午,Twitter宣布同意马斯克以440亿美元的价格收购该公司。
Former President Trump will not return to Twitter, even as Elon Musk purchases the social media company and reinstates his account, instead using his own TRUTH Social as the sole platform for his voice.
即使马斯克收购了社交媒体推特公司并恢复了他的账户,前总统特朗普也不会重返Twitter,而是使用他自己的TRUTH social作为他发声的唯一平台。
"We're taking in millions of people, and what we're finding is that the response on TRUTH is much better than being on Twitter," Trump said.
特朗普说:“我们有数百万用户,‘TRUTH’上的回应比Twitter要好得多。”
"Twitter has bots and fake accounts, and we are doing everything we can." He added: "The bottom line is, no, I am not going back to Twitter."
“Twitter有机器人和假账户,而我们正在尽一切努力消灭这种现象。”他补充说:“底线是我不会再使用Twitter了。”
打脸了,推特同意收购!
有钱能使鬼推磨
中文说“有钱能使鬼推磨”,但是英美人士相信的是“金钱驱使世界运转”
Money makes the world go round.
(有钱才能办成事)。
wheel and deal
在政界或生意场所等纵横捭阖;运用金钱或权势谋取私利
The biggest wheelerdealer in the state has many friends in high places in business and government. 州里这位最有权势的人物在商界和政界都有很多身居要职的朋友。
英文单词
almighty
形容上帝全能的、万能的、有无限权力的:
Almighty God
全能的上帝;该词还可用来形容钞票:
the almighty dollar
(字面意思是“万能的美元”),其实就是我们所说的
“钞能力”。
In the Western countries, many people are successful just by means of the almighty dollar. 在西方国家,很多人只是凭着“钞能力”取得成功的。
英美文化常识
从哲学思想体系讲,
materialist
的意思是“唯物主义者”,但在一般英美人心中和谈话中materialist 指“追求物质享受或讲究实实在在好处的人”,尽管有贬义,但还没有到“拜金主义者”那么严重;英文会用“
gold digger
”这一形象表达来表示“拜金女”这一概念。
拜金主义信奉的是“金钱至上”,如果想表达“我不信你说的什么金钱万能的道理。”可以说:
I don't believe your theory of "money tells".
卢梭 Jean-Jacques Rousseau 在其著作《社会契约论》 The Social Contract 第三卷第十五章《论议员和代表Deputies or Representatives》中写道:
It is the bustle of commerce and of the arts, it is the greedy pursuit of gain, it is effeminacy and love of comforts, that commute personal services for money. Men sacrifice a portion of their profit in order to increase it at their ease.
Give money and soon you will have chains.
参考译文:正是由于人们忙于商业和手工业,忙于对利润的追逐,也由于人们的软弱和贪图安逸,使得个人服务用金钱代替。公民放弃了他们的一部分利益以便随心所欲地追逐其他利益。
赶快利用金钱吧!你们很快就被金钱所奴役。
最后,学霸君想以欧·亨利(O.Henry)短篇小说
《财神与爱神》
中的一句话结束今天的推送:
I wish you would not think so much of money. Wealth is nothing where a true affection is concerned.
Love is all-powerful.
我真希望你别把金钱看得太重。在真挚的感情面前,财富有时候一文不值,
只有爱情才是万能的。
