There is no shortage of media coverage about the rich becoming less rich, including today's Times piece。

　　媒体从来不缺关于富人财富缩水的报导，包括最近《泰晤士报》上的一篇文章。

　　But even as the vast majority of the wealthy are losing wealth, some are gaining or forging the next Gilded Age in their garages。

　　但是即便绝大多数富人的财产在流失，仍然有一些人正在他们的车库里打造或迎接着下一个镀金时代。

　　We won't know who the real winners are for a few years. Will it be a space-travel tycoon? Solar-panel maker? Health-care lobbyists? Copper traders? Dapper jewel thieves。

　　在最近几年内我们还不会知道谁是真正的赢家。他会是一个进入太空旅行的大亨吗？还是太阳能电池板制造商？或是医疗改革提案的游说者？抑或是铜交易员？甚至是衣冠楚楚的珠宝窃贼？

　　History in this case may be a poor guide, since wealth waves are usually built on unique intersections of economics, finance and government。

　　在这件事上，历史或许不足为鉴，因为财富潮通常建立在经济，金融和政府的独特交集上。
