Oh, housing prices in Shanghai are getting higher all the time. How can common folks like us go on living? Sometimes, I think that even if I worked like a dog for thirty years, I might not be able to afford a house. I get really down in the dumps.
我听说有些暴发户前段时间大肆炒房将上海的房价炒得很高是真的吗

I hear there are some nouveaux riches who were doing large-scale real estate speculation recently. They're making Shanghai's housing prices really high. Is that true?
好像有过这种说法真不知道那些暴发户有些什么秘诀能一夜间暴富很多人并没有很高的学问说难听点还很土气不上台面可是有钱却是不争的事实

It seems like people have said that. I don't know what kind of secret tricks those newly rich have. They can get rich overnight. A lot of them aren't very well-educated. Not to put too fine a point on it, they're so vulgar that they wouldn't normally be able to make it. But it's an uncontested fact that they have money.
哎这些暴发户怎么这么霸道呢有钱也没什么了不起呀我印象中的暴发户就是除了有钱什么也没有的那种他们大建豪宅大肆挥霍却没有什么精神实质和生活格调即便有钱也被称作不入流的一族

Ah, how can these nouveaux riches be so high-handed? There's nothing great about having money. It seems to me that these New Money guys are the kind who have nothing but their cash. They build McMansions, and throw their money around, but they don't have much in the way of spirit or lifestyle. Even though they have money, they're still called ''arrivistes."
