中國億萬富翁人數首超美國！王健林再成首富

Chinese billionaires outnumber those in the Unites States for the first time.
中國億萬富翁人數首度超過美國。

China now boasts 596 billionaires - 60 more than the U.S.- after a staggering 242 Chinese people became billionaires for the first time in just one year, according to a new survey. The Unites States continues to dominate the list of wealthiest people on the planet with Americans making up seven of the top ten. Not a single Chinese entry made it into the top ten.
中國引以爲傲的是其596個億萬富翁，超出美國60人——據一新的調查稱，一年之內，中國有242人首度躋身億萬富翁行列。世界最富富豪榜單美國依舊占主導地位，前十名中有七名美國人，前十之中沒有一個是中國人。

The wealthiest man on the globe is Microsoft founder Bill Gates. China's richest citizen is entertainment mogul Wang Jianlin, owner of AMC cinemas and founder of conglomerate Wanda, has a net worth of $34.4billion - less than half than that of Gates.
世界首富是微軟創始人比爾·蓋茨。中國最富公民是娛樂界大亨王健林，美國AMC影院持有者兼萬達企業集團創始人，資產淨值344億美元，不到蓋茨資產一半。

The fortunes of five richest U.S. citizens is also three times that of China's top five. But there is no denying that China's richest are catching up.
同樣，美國首富前五名財富是中國首富前五三倍之多，但不可否認中國首富有後起直追之勢。

China is now leading the world for numbers of billionaires in what they describe as a historical 'turning point.' However, for a country with 1.4billion people, its 596 billionaires make up just 0.00072 per cent of its overall population. In comparison, Americans have a far higher number of billionaires per capita, at 0.05 per cent of the overall population.
中國以其億萬富翁人數之多引領世界，即其所謂歷史性“轉折點”。然而，對於一個人口達14億的國家，596名億萬富翁僅佔總人口的0.00072%。相比之下，美國人均億萬富翁比遠遠高於中國，佔總人口的0.05%。

Much of the boom was down to the rise of fortunes in information technology and manufacturing. Experts say the trend also represents more privatization of the Chinese economy.
財富的激增歸因於信息技術和製造業的財富增長。專家說這一趨勢亦代表更多中國經濟私有化。
