venture160 Posted January 24, 2006 at 03:52 PM Author Report Posted January 24, 2006 at 03:52 PM 暴发户 is what I came up with as well, just wondering if there was another way of saying it, maybe i should use a french dictionary Quote

peterwelm Posted January 25, 2006 at 07:57 AM Report Posted January 25, 2006 at 07:57 AM not 一夜暴富？ 暴发户(阶层) usually means the newly rich Quote
Sophia_Shang Posted January 25, 2006 at 08:09 AM Report Posted January 25, 2006 at 08:09 AM “新贵”，这是个褒义词，用起来更为安全。 Quote
xiaocai Posted January 25, 2006 at 08:54 AM Report Posted January 25, 2006 at 08:54 AM 新贵 最开始我也查到这个，但是我的字典说“nouveaux riches”是贬义词⋯⋯ 不过“新贵”听起来满高级的，可能就象英文里面的法文词一样吧？ Quote
adrianlondon Posted January 26, 2006 at 12:23 AM Report Posted January 26, 2006 at 12:23 AM Just asked my Taiwanese boyfriend and he agrees with "暴发户" as the best translation, as it's derogatory (which is what "noveaux riche" is); implying a lack of class. Quote
