“富裕病”流行

Affluenza, a portmanteau of affluence and influenza, is a term used by critics of consumerism. It is defined as "a painful, contagious, socially transmitted condition of overload, debt, anxiety, and waste resulting from the dogged pursuit of more".

“富裕病”由affluence(富裕)和(流感)兩個英文單詞混成而來，是消費主義批評人士使用的一個詞匯，指的是“由于總想得到更多，而導(dǎo)致的個人負(fù)擔(dān)過重、負(fù)債、焦慮和浪費。這種狀態(tài)令人痛苦、會互相傳染，也會在社會中蔓延。”

It is the negative psychological or behavioral effects of having or pursuing wealth, as irresponsible acts and feelings of self-doubt or guilt.

“富裕病”是擁有或追求財富所帶來的負(fù)面的心理或行為影響，比如不負(fù)責(zé)任的行為和自我懷疑及負(fù)罪感。

英國心理學(xué)家Oliver James認(rèn)為，在消費主義國家中較高的精神失調(diào)比率亦是對財富的過度謀求的后果。他將富裕病定義為“給予金錢，財產(chǎn)，社會地位，個人外表及名譽高度的重視”(placing a high value on money, possessions, appearances (physical and social) and fame)。

例句：

In an era troubled by affluenza, more and more young people are only driven by new and luxurious things.

在這個備受“富恙”困擾的時代，有越來越多的年輕人開始只追求新的和奢侈的事物。
