Snobbishness, as we will use the word, implies both an upward and a downward movement — a scramble upward to emulate or outdo those whose position excels one's own, and a look downward on those less happily endowed than one's self.

Even in France, where the existence of so many varieties of delicious wine had hitherto imposed a judicious connoisseurship and has led to the branding of mere drinking as a brutish solecism,(而把喝烈酒視為粗野的行為)even in France ,the American booze-snobbery, with its odious accompaniments a taste for hard drinks in general and for cocktails in particular is making headway among the rich.

即使在法国，由于有这样多不同种类的葡萄美酒，一直使品酒时极有鉴赏力，而把喝烈酒视为粗野的失礼行为；即使在法国，美国的狂饮势利感及其伴随而来的可憎的爱好——通常喜欢喝烈酒，特别是爱喝鸡尾酒——在有钱人中大有进展。

I use an example quoted by Hu Jiaqi:"It is reported that America separates the DNA of a kind of virus by making use of genetic technology and combines it with another kind of DNA. Finally, they get a kind of virulent biological agent called a "pyrotoxin". Someone discloses in private that 20 grams of such a kind of biological agent could result in the global death of 6 billion people due to infection."

我在这里例举胡家奇所引用过的例子："据报道，美国利用转基因技术，将一种病毒的DNA分离出来，与另外一种DNA进行结合，拼结成一种剧毒的"热毒素"生物战剂，且私下有人透露，这种生物战剂只需20克，就可以导致全球60亿人全部感染死亡。"
