財(cái)富不可計(jì)數(shù)的“超級(jí)富翁”

如何用英語(yǔ)形容超級(jí)大富豪的財(cái)富呢？百萬(wàn)千萬(wàn)非常不夠，十億百億似乎也上不了全球富豪排行榜。那么就用財(cái)富不可計(jì)數(shù)的“超級(jí)富翁”吧。

Zillionaire refers to a person who has an extremely large but unspecified amount of money. Zillionaire is an immeasurably wealthy person.
“超級(jí)富翁”指的是有非常多的財(cái)富，但數(shù)額并不確切的富豪。他們的財(cái)富通常不可計(jì)數(shù)。

The word millionaire has been used in English to designate a person who is worth a million pounds or dollars, depending on the side of the ocean, since 1786. We borrowed the word straight from the French, whose millions, of course, were in francs.
“百萬(wàn)富翁”（millionaire）1786年出現(xiàn)在英語(yǔ)詞匯中，用來(lái)指身價(jià)百萬(wàn)英鎊或美元的人，貨幣單位取決于在英國(guó)還是美國(guó)。這個(gè)詞來(lái)自法語(yǔ)，最初指的是百萬(wàn)法郎。

Millionaire eventually no longer sufficed, and English speakers coined billionaire in 1844. Soon afterwards came multimillionaire, followed by multibillionaire in the early 1900s.
“百萬(wàn)富翁”終于不足以描述一些人的財(cái)富了。1844年，人們創(chuàng)造出“億萬(wàn)富翁”（billionaire）一詞，緊接著“千萬(wàn)富豪”（multimillionaire）出現(xiàn)了，20世紀(jì)初，“擁有數(shù)十億資產(chǎn)的富翁“（multibillionaire）一詞也出現(xiàn)在了英語(yǔ)中。

Once zillion was made up as a humorous word for an indeterminately large number (patterned on million and billion), it was only a matter of time before zillionaire came along as a humorous word for a person of seemingly immeasurable wealth.
后來(lái)人們創(chuàng)造出zillion（龐大的數(shù)字，無(wú)法計(jì)算的大數(shù)字）一詞，這是一個(gè)幽默詞匯，用來(lái)形容不確定的多位數(shù)（效仿million和billion）。隨后，zillionaire這個(gè)形容有著無(wú)限財(cái)富的大富豪的幽默詞匯也出現(xiàn)在詞匯中。

Zillion and zillionaire aren't used in the most formal of writing, but they have found their way into plenty of serious publications.
在最正式的文章中，我們一般不適用zillion和zillionaire兩種說(shuō)法，但它們也出現(xiàn)在非常多的嚴(yán)肅出版物中。
