【初级水平】：基础对话 Conversation
场景：“10套房”“昂贵茶叶香烟”“与政府高级别官员社交圈”“94年国有员工”，这些关键词映入小华和小红眼帘的时候，她们会怎么想呢？
Xiaohua：Xiaohong, have you noticed the online wealth-flaunting incident recently?
小华：小红，你最近有注意到网络炫富的事件吗？
Xiaohong：Yes. Zhoujie from Nanchang in Jiangxi province attracted national attention when a series of screenshots of his WeChat Moments showing off his claimed wealth and power were widely circulated.
小红：有啊。来自江西南昌的周劼在微信朋友圈炫富炫权的一系列截图被广泛转发，引起了全国的关注。
Xiaohua：I don't understand why he did this, showing off his great wealth and connections with senior government officials on social media. Did he use this way to combat corruption?
小华：我不明白他为什么要这样做，在社交媒体上炫耀他的巨额财富和与政府高官的关系。他用这种方式来反腐败吗?
Xiaohong：Well, actually what he did prompted public speculation about corruption. I think he didn't mean to "kill himself" in this way.
小红：这....实际上，他的所作所为引发了公众对腐败的猜测。我想他并不是故意用这种方式“自杀”的。
Xiaohua：That's reasonable.
小华：有道理。
Xiaohong：See, do you really believe what he posted in his WeChat Moments?
小红：嗯，你相信他在朋友圈发的东西吗？
Xiaohua：It's hard to say. But bragging about socializing with high-level officials is eye-catching. He claimed he was once given a cigarette by a deputy provincial governor worth 1200 Yuan a carton.
小华：难说。但他炫耀自己与高层官员的交往，却很引人注目。他说，有一次，一位副省长给了他一根烟，这烟一条要1200元。
Xiaohong：And the tea he drank cost 400,000 yuan per kilogram. But I drink free tea.
小红：他喝的茶每公斤40万元。但是，我都喝免费茶。
Xiaohua: Come on! You're not a tea person. Maybe he just used tea to socialize, so it's not a matter of drinking tea.
小华：你得了吧。你不是喝茶的主。也许他以茶社交，并不是喝茶。
Xiaohong：“Keep it simple.”
小红：“朴素一点”。
Xiaohua：That rings the bell. Is it a piece of advice given by an official?
小华：这句话听起来耳熟。这是高官给周劼的建议吗？
Xiaohong：It's deep, right?
小红：太深了，对吧？
进阶课程
【中高级水平】：Mini-talk
场景：小红对于朋友圈炫富事件很感兴趣，她认为网络虚假信息的确难于甄别，也许越是缺什么就会越展现什么。并想起了一句名言：too young too simple, sometimes naive。
A few days ago, an online influencer with three million followers was blocked from her account after posting about how rich and well-connected she was, including pretending to regularly travel by police helicopter.
几天前，一名拥有300万粉丝的网红发帖称自己多么有钱、人脉多么广，包括假装经常乘坐警察的直升机出行，之后她的账户被屏蔽。
Zhoujie who holds a general position at a state-owned firm is under investigation after claims on social media about his fantastic wealth.
在一家国有企业担任普通职务的周劼在社交媒体上被曝拥有巨额财富后，目前正在接受调查。
In the last two years, online wealth-flaunting has been cracked down to reduce the wealth gap and seek common prosperity. Douyin says that it has removed over 20,000 videos featuring extravagant lifestyles since 2022. "Encourage a scientific and civilised lifestyle and rational spending."
在过去的两年里，为了缩小贫富差距，寻求共同富裕，网络炫富行为受到了严厉打击。抖音表示，自2022年以来，该公司已下架了2万多部关于奢侈生活方式的视频。“鼓励科学文明的生活方式和理性消费。”
