<< review queue entry 52223 - submitted by 'goldyn_chyld' >> = from shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations (English proverb) http://baike.baidu.com/view/1514064.htm - 为此后人不无感慨地概括为“富不过三代”！有一代创，二代守，三代耗，四代败的说法。 所谓“三代”并非一个确切的时限，只是讲富贵不能长久而已。 现代人常说；富不过三代。 We often say that a rich family cannot maintain rich for more than three generations. 继任者将尽力保持现政权的独裁特色，但俗语有云：富不过三代。 The successor will do his best to retain the autocratic character of the current regime, but as an old Korean saying goes, "The wealth of a family doesn't last three generations." |
