每次新聞爆出巨額彩票大獎(jiǎng)，都會(huì)有不少人羨慕嫉妒恨。前些年在股市一夜暴富的人也一度被很多人嫉妒。誰叫人家運(yùn)氣好呢？周圍人的態(tài)度咱們先不說，單是這巨額獎(jiǎng)金得主本人的反應(yīng)其實(shí)就挺讓人好奇的。據(jù)說很多暴富的人都多少有些sudden wealth syndrome呢，你聽說過嗎？
We have seen increasing numbers of people with a cluster of issues and symptoms associated with the stress and anxiety of sudden success or wealth. We have coined the term "Sudden Wealth Syndrome" to describe their shared psychological issues.
我們見過很多人在突然獲得成功或得到巨額財(cái)富時(shí)因?yàn)閴毫途o張情緒而導(dǎo)致的一系列癥狀。他們共有的這種心理狀態(tài)叫做“暴富綜合癥”。
The "wealth" part of sudden wealth syndrome has normally been associated with the riches accumulated from dot-com IPOs and the rapid rise of the Nasdaq stock market in the late 90s. However, it also applies to lottery winners, estate heirs, and people whose get-rich-quick schemes actually worked.
他們“暴富”的來源在上世紀(jì)90年代后期通常指網(wǎng)絡(luò)概念股狂潮階段以及納斯達(dá)克股市狂飆時(shí)期。同時(shí)，“暴富”的來源也可以指彩票得主，地產(chǎn)繼承人以及那些迅速發(fā)財(cái)計(jì)劃進(jìn)行順利的人。
Signs of sudden wealth syndrome:
? You feel uncomfortably different from your friends and you're afraid to tell them how you feel about your new status.
? Being wealthy makes for more guilt than pleasure.
? Instead of feeling powerful and decisive, you feel paralyzed and unable to decide how to spend your money.
? You can't stand the envy of friends and acquaintances -- you find yourself becoming more isolated.
? You feel like you don't quite deserve the money and you can't believe it's really yours.
? You're afraid that you'll lose your money and your good fortune will simply vanish overnight.
“暴富綜合癥”的癥狀：
? 你覺得自己和身邊的朋友們不一樣，這讓你很不自在。但是你又不敢跟朋友們說你對(duì)自己這個(gè)新身份的感覺。
? 財(cái)富讓你的內(nèi)疚感大于快樂。
? 你并沒有因?yàn)檫@筆財(cái)富而變得強(qiáng)勢(shì)或有主見，相反，你覺得很矛盾，不知道該怎么花錢。
? 你受不了周圍朋友和熟人對(duì)你的嫉妒，你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己慢慢被孤立了。
? 你覺得你不配得到這筆錢，而且不相信這錢真的就是你的了。
? 你害怕你的財(cái)富會(huì)在一夜之間消失不見。
