今日你变得像比尔-盖茨一样,有钱又出名的机会,大概就跟你在十七世纪,成为法国贵族一样困难。但重点是,感觉却差别很大。今日的杂志和其它媒体让我们感觉,只要你有冲劲、对科技有一些新颖的想法,再加上一个车库,你就可以踏上比尔的道路。
It's probably as unlikely that you would nowadays become as rich and famous as Bill Gates, as it was unlikely in the17th century that you would accede to the ranks of the French aristocracy.
