Most high net worth Americans say they worked their way up from a lower class.

美国大多数高净值人士表示，他们是从下层社会一步步奋斗起来的。
That's according to a report released by U.S. Trust, based on a survey that asked 684 adults in the U.S. with $3 million or more of "investible assets" hundreds of questions.
这个结论来自于美国信托发布的一份报告，该报告是基于对美国684名拥有300万美元或更多的“可投资资产”的成年人所提出的包含数百个问题的一项调查。
About 77% of those surveyed said they grew up in the middle class or lower, including 19% who say they were poor.
大约有77%的受访者表示，自己出生在中产阶级或更低阶层的家庭，其中有19%的人甚至表示自己出生于穷人家。
影响普通人蜕变为百万富翁的三大因素
And they credit their success to three somewhat surprising factors: Hard work, ambition and family upbringing. Respondents even went so far as to say that these influences were much more important than "connections" or "innate 1 talent."
不过，他们将成功归功于3个令人意想不到的因素：辛勤工作、积极进取和家庭教育。受访者还表示，相对而言，这些因素比“关系”或“天赋”更为重要。
"The points seem to be so traditional in nature," said Chris Heilmann, the chief fiduciary 2 executive at U.S. Trust, Bank of America's private wealth management firm. "It's about deeply held family values rather than an inheritance or existing wealth,"
美国银行私人财富管理公司美国信托的高管克里斯·海勒曼表示：“这些观点看起来是很传统的。家庭价值要比继承或现有的财富更具影响力。”
The survey was also a shout-out to strict parents. About 80% of respondents said their parents were firm disciplinarians. They also named "academic achievement," "financial discipline" and "work participation 3" as the family values that were most emphasized in their homes.
调查还显示，严格的父母也是绝大多数美国百万富翁成功的功臣。约有80%的受访者表示，父母对自己要求很严格。此外，受访者声称，“学术成就、财务约束和工作参与”也是他们的家庭教育中最为看重的几点。
"It indicates the American Dream seems to be alive and well," Heilmann said.
海勒曼说，“这表明美国梦仍然颇具生机，深入人心。”
Considering that some people might doubt that, Heilmann said that the results were "refreshing 4, encouraging and a bit surprising."
考虑到可能有部分人对此怀疑，海勒曼解释称，这个结果“很振奋、鼓舞人心，也有点出乎意料”。
