The 19th-century British Aristocracy
The British aristocracy had always been involved in industrialization, especially in the development of mining, canals, and railways. It now shrewdly associated itself with the new wave of commercial expansion: most banks and insurance companies had a lord to add tone to the managerial board. It also shored up its fortunes by astute marriages, notably with the new aristocracy of wealth in the United States; the best-known example was the marriage of the duke of Marlborough to Consuelo Vanderbilt. By these means, many of the great aristocratic estates were preserved despite agricultural decline. But they were playthings as well as engines of wealth, and came to be treated as such. The aristocracy came to be known to the urban population chiefly through their representation in the popular press and magazines as men and women of leisure: racing, hunting, shooting, and fishing in the country, gambling and attending the season in London. In a population for which leisure was becoming increasingly important, this did not make the aristocracy unpopular.
Which of the following statements is TRUE?

有些人常常讥讽某个人好名,某个人爱出风头,其实只不过醋酸在暗暗作怪,恨自己没有露一手,一旦有机会可以露一手,也会照样露一手。一个人如果连荣誉心都没有,连好名声都不愿博取,则该人啥丧天害理的事,都可能干得出。人之异于禽兽者,在于人好名,禽兽不好名也。
