富人爱花钱 只因缺乏安全感?

　　The recent tabloid sting involving the Duchess of York has elicited plenty of schadenfreude in the British press.

　　最近有关约克公爵夫人的八卦消息让英国媒体感到很是幸灾乐祸。

　　The Duchess, it appears, is by her own admission virtually penniless after her divorce from the Duke of York left her with only 15,000 pounds a year. That's a modest income for anyone, but especially so for someone who confesses to an 'overspending disease' and penchant for private jets and luxury goods.

　　据这位公爵夫人自己承认，她在与丈夫离婚后，每年只有1.5万英镑的赡养费，这看来可以说是身无分文了。每年1.5万英镑对任何人来说都只是微薄的收入而已，更何况是对一个承认自己患有“超支病”、嗜好私人飞机和奢侈品的人而言呢。

　　In an article on the BBC News Magazine, U.K. psychotherapist Benjamin Fry, who co-presents BBC Three's Spendaholics program, says giving up the bling can be traumatic.

　　在BBC新闻杂志(BBC News Magazine)上的一篇文章中，英国精神治疗师弗莱(Benjamin Fry)写道，放弃奢侈的生活可能会造成创伤性后果。他是BBC三台“花钱狂”节目的主持人之一。
