美国百万富翁增速为何超中国

        Why then is the recession-wracked U.S. minting more millionaires than the Mighty Dragon?

　　既然如此，为何受到衰退严重冲击的美国比中国生产的百万富翁还要多？

　　There are two potential answers. First, the data is wrong. Estimates of millionaires are educated guesses, all using different definitions and standards. So maybe it's apples to oranges, or the numbers are off.

　　有两个可能的答案。首先，数据错了。对百万富翁的各种估计是有根据的猜测，使用的都是不同的定义和标准。所以，或许是在拿苹果和橘子比，或是数字不准确。

　　Second, millionaire wealth in the U.S. is now tied more to the stock market than the overall economy. The U.S. stock market bounce - up more than 60% from its bottom - created better conditions for minting millionaires than China, where the stock market grew half as fast and where wealth is more tied to real-estate and the broader economy.

　　其次，如今美国的百万富翁财富更多地与股市、而不是整体经济挂钩。美国股市较谷底涨了60%以上，比中国为生产百万富翁创造了更好的条件；在中国，股市的涨幅只有美国的一半，财富更多地是与房地产和整体经济挂钩。
