范文：
As is depicted in the picture, compared to the situation in the past, nowadays the total wealth that mankind possesses conspicuously surpasses that of any time in history. What is more striking is that most of the wealth concentrates in the hands of a small bunch of people.
It is quite obvious that the artist wishes to set us thinking about the disparity between the rich and the poor in today’s world. On the one hand, it is staggering for us to find in the annual list of the “World's Wealthiest People” by Forbes Magazine how the property of the rich keeps aggregating in an unbelievable scale. For instance, the fortune of Bill Gates certainly amounts to, or even exceeds, the annual GDP of an average developing country. On the other hand, the majority of humans have to struggle simply to make ends meet, not to mention those still suffer from hunger in the most less developed countries.
It is beyond doubt that the gross discrepancy of wealth distribution, though being a problem long existing in human society, is now developing to an extreme which may cause chaos. Therefore, the whole world should take this problem into serious consideration. Only through a systematic reform to achieve a more equal society can we prevent the problem from deteriorating.
譯文：
正如圖中描繪的那樣，比起以前，現在人類擁有的總財富明顯超過了歷史上的任何一個時期。但是，更驚人的是我們的財富集中在了一群非常少的人們手中。
很顯然作圖者意在喚起人們對于當今世界上不斷拉大的貧富差距這一問題的思考。一方面，通過福布斯雜志每年公布的世界富豪榜中，我們驚奇地發現富人們聚集財富的速度和規模令人難以置信。例如，比爾.蓋茨的財產必然相當于甚至是超過了一個一般發展中國家的年均國內生產總值。另一方面，大部分人都苦苦地為了家里的收支平衡而奮斗，更不用說在那些最窮的國家中人們還在忍饑挨餓。
毫無疑問，盡管財富分配不均是人類歷史上一個長久的問題，但是現在這種差距正在向極端方向發展，并可能導致根本性的混亂。因此，全世界都應該嚴肅地思考這個問題。我們只有通過改革來建設一個更加公平的社會，才能夠防止這個問題的進一步惡化。
