The rich grew richer last year, even as the world endured the worst recession in decades.

盡管全球經(jīng)歷了幾十年來(lái)最嚴(yán)重的經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退，但去年富人們的財(cái)富仍出現(xiàn)了增長(zhǎng)。

A stock market rebound helped the world's ranks of millionaires climb 17 percent to 10 million, while their collective wealth surged 19 percent to $39 trillion, nearly recouping losses from the financial crisis, according to the latest Merrill Lynch-Capgemini world wealth report.

據(jù)美林-凱捷最新發(fā)布的世界財(cái)富報(bào)告，在股市反彈的推動(dòng)下，去年全球的百萬(wàn)富翁數(shù)量增加了17%，達(dá)到1000萬(wàn)人，他們的財(cái)富總量增長(zhǎng)了19%，達(dá)到39萬(wàn)億美元，基本上收回了在金融危機(jī)中所受的損失。

Stock values rose by half, while hedge funds recovered most of their 2008 losses, in a year marked by government stimulus spending and central bank easing.

去年，由于多國(guó)政府實(shí)行經(jīng)濟(jì)刺激計(jì)劃，中央銀行放寬貨幣政策，全球股票價(jià)值上升了一半，對(duì)沖基金也收回了在2008年的大部分損失。

"We are already seeing distinct signs of recovery and, in some areas, a complete return to 2007 levels of wealth and growth," Bank of America Corp wealth management chief Sallie Krawcheck said.

美國(guó)銀行財(cái)富管理業(yè)務(wù)主管薩利克勞切克說(shuō)：“我們已經(jīng)看到明顯的復(fù)蘇跡象，部分地區(qū)的財(cái)富和經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)已經(jīng)完全恢復(fù)到了2007年的水平?！?/div>
The fastest growth in wealth took place in India, China and Brazil, some of the hardest hit markets in 2008. Wealth in Latin America and the Asia-Pacific soared to record highs.

其中，印度、中國(guó)和巴西是全球財(cái)富增長(zhǎng)最快的地區(qū)，這幾個(gè)國(guó)家同時(shí)也是2008年遭受金融危機(jī)沖擊最為嚴(yán)重的市場(chǎng)。拉丁美洲和亞太地區(qū)的財(cái)富總量暴漲，創(chuàng)歷史新高。

Asia's millionaire ranks rose to 3 million, matching Europe for the first time, paced by a 4.5 percent economic expansion.

去年亞洲的富翁數(shù)量增至300萬(wàn)，首次與歐洲持平，該地區(qū)的經(jīng)濟(jì)增幅達(dá)到4.5%。

Switzerland had the highest concentration of millionaires: nearly 35 for every 1,000 adults.

瑞士則是富翁密度最高的國(guó)家，每1000個(gè)成年人中就有近35個(gè)富翁。

Yet as portfolios bounced back, investors remained wary after a collapse that erased a decade of stock gains, fueled a contraction in the global economy and sent unemployment soaring.

然而盡管股市反彈，剛經(jīng)歷了金融風(fēng)暴的投資者們?nèi)匀惠^為謹(jǐn)慎。這場(chǎng)金融危機(jī)讓十年的股票收益化為烏有，導(dǎo)致全球經(jīng)濟(jì)萎縮、失業(yè)率高漲。

The report, based on surveys with more than 1,100 wealthy investors with 23 firms, found that the rich were well served by holding a broad range of investments, including commodities and real estate.

這一報(bào)告基于對(duì)23個(gè)企業(yè)的1100多名富翁投資者開(kāi)展的多項(xiàng)調(diào)查。調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，富人們通過(guò)多領(lǐng)域的投資獲得較高收益，其中包括商品和房地產(chǎn)等。
