模仿文本：
David Boyle, at the New Economics Foundation, doesn't see the middle class as wealthy or gregarious 1. He argues that it's been killed "stone dead" and he's identified the murderer. Just like on the Orient Express, it wasn't one killer 2, but several, unaffordable house prices, greedy banks, the me-first scramble 3 for good education, extortionate child care costs, and plundered 4 pensions.
译文：
他就是来自新经济基金会的大卫·博伊尔。在他看来，中产阶级“死得很惨”，而且正如在“东方快车”上一样，“凶手”不止一人——高不可攀的房价、贪婪的银行、为了受到良好教育而展开的自私的争夺、高昂的育儿费以及被削减的养老金。
