Rich Dad, Poor Dad


Most parents would probably be extremely grateful to be shown an easy way to instill into their children an appreciation 1 of the value of money and a better understanding of how to make it. According to some critics, they can find the answer by reading a new bestselling book by financial wizard Robert T. Kiyosaki.


Rich Dad, Poor Dad has the title of a novel rather than a how-to treatise 2, and indeed, much of the book is written in story form. Its central theme is summed up by the subtitle 3 "What the Rich Teach Their Kids about Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not.? The author also strongly disparages 4 the tendency of most people to work for money rather than "letting money work for them."


Kiyosaki illustrates 5 his point in the first part of the book by narrating 6 a story based on his childhood experiences. The title refers to the author's own highly educated father, the "poor dad" who always had to work hard to meet the family's needs; and the "rich dad", a neighbor who had dropped out of high school but whose financial acumen 7 turned him into a multimillionaire.


The book has generated its share of negative feedback. For one thing, some reviewers have lashed 8 out against its antieducation slant 9. All agree, though, that Kiyosaki is sound on the need to shake off a fearful, conservative mindset in order to make it big financially.   



富爸爸,穷爸爸


如果有个简单的方法能帮助家长给孩子灌输重视钱的价值,以及更好地了解挣钱的办法,相信多数家长都会十分感激的。根据评论家的观点,父母可以在一本由财经奇才罗伯特·T·清崎所著的畅销书中找到答案。


《富爸爸,穷爸爸》有点像小说的书名,而不像是一部入门的专著。的确,书的大部分内容以故事的形式写成。书的副标题——《富人教给孩子有关金钱的观念和穷人与中产阶级所教的相左》,归纳了该书的主题。作者也强烈蔑视大多数人为钱工作而不是“让钱为人工作”的倾向。


清崎在书的第一部分根据自己童年的经历讲述故事来阐述他的观点。书名中的“穷爸爸”是指他受过高等教育的父亲,他为了满足家庭的需求而努力工作; “富爸爸”则是指一位高中就辍学的邻居,但其敏锐的理财眼光却使他成为大富豪。


本书也得到一些负面的反馈。其中一些图书评论家抨击了该书的反教育倾向。不过,大家都认为清崎的主张是合理的,要赚大钱就必须先摆脱恐惧、保守的心态。
