進入《中英對照讀新聞》Russian millionaire throws paper planes made of money into crowd 俄國富豪把錢做成的紙飛機扔入人群
◎陳成良
Twenty-seven-year-old Russian millionaire Pavel Durov has earned himself plenty of new critics today after it was reported the mogul threw "paper planes" made of money from the windows of his St. Petersburg office into a growing crowd of pedestrians below.
27歲的俄羅斯富豪巴維爾．杜洛夫今天據傳從其聖彼得堡的辦公室窗口，向街上越聚越多的行人撒下用錢折成的「紙飛機」，使這位大亨招致諸多新的非議。
Durov is the CEO of Vkontakte, or "In Contact," Russia’s most popular social networking site and considered that country’s equivalent to Facebook.
杜洛夫是俄羅斯最受歡迎的社交網站「聯繫網」的執行長，該網站被視為俄國版的臉書。
RT.com reports that a growing crowd amassed to collect the 5,000-ruble notes, which are worth about $160 each. However, while Durov reportedly appeared amused by the crowd, he stopped throwing the cash planes from his office window after some spectators appeared to turn violent.
據「今日俄羅斯」網站報導，越來越多群眾聚集要撿這些面值5000盧布（約合160美元）的紙鈔。然而，當時杜洛夫據傳似乎被群眾逗得很開心，但一些旁觀者好像是為了搶錢引發暴力行為後，他就不再從辦公室窗戶扔現金飛機了。
According to RT, Durov took to his Twitter account, writing, "We had to stop soon, though, as people turned into animals."
據該網站報導，杜洛夫隨後在推特寫道，「我們不得不很快停下來，因為人們都變成了動物。」
Still, Durov apparently neglected to take personal responsibility for the response and even promised that "definitely, more such actions are to follow."
儘管如此，杜洛夫顯然並不想為這個反應承擔個人責任，甚至承諾「往後絕對會有更多類似行為」。
At the end of the day, Durov, who is worth an estimated $260 million, apparently tossed down only about $2,000 in cash to the crowd.
那天到了最後，身家估計有2.6億美元的杜洛夫，顯然總共只向群眾扔下了約2000美元現金。
