The Bonfire of the Vanities 是 Tom Wolfe 于1987年出版的讽刺小说。故事是一部关于20世纪80年代纽约市野心、种族主义、社会阶层、政治与贪婪的人间戏剧，围绕三个主要人物展开：WASP 债券交易员 Sherman McCoy、犹太裔地方助理检察官 Larry Kramer，以及旅美英国记者 Peter Fallow。另见：- The Bonfire of the Vanities: 1/2 - The Bonfire of the Vanities: 2/2

……一个颓废的时代，1940 年是一个充斥着恐怖的时代，恐怖到欧洲基本崩盘了。1960 年代极其颓废，但受众范围更广一些。1980 年代也很颓废（推荐 Wolfe 的《虚荣的篝火》The Bonfire of the Vanities）。2000 年也许反常地风平浪静？可能也很颓废只是我没注意到。2020 年很颓废，我一点也不意外。时代其实从来没变多少。
…an age of decadence, 1940 was an age of horrors so horrific Europe basically collapsed. 1960s were extremely decadent but it was a bit more broad-based. The 1980s were decadent (I recommend Wolfe's The Bonfire of the Vanities). 2000 was maybe unusually sedate? Probably it was decadent and I didn't notice. 2020 is decadent and I am not surprised. The times don't change all that much.

I'm sure you'll get plenty of comments on hacker fiction, so here's some "business" fiction: * "The Bonfire of the Vanities" by Tom Wolfe. The classic novel of 80s Wall Street at its peak. * "American Psycho" by Bret Easton Ellis. A pretty terrifying picture of greed and excess, again on 80s Wall Street. If you've seen…
……舆论的风评向来不怎么样。它的倾向往往是跟风驱动，而不是基于任何道德准则。Tom Wolfe 的小说《虚荣的篝火》（The Bonfire of the Vanities）对这种现象进行了经典的探讨。
…opinion doesn't have a good track record, for one. It's decisions are often based on fashion more than any kind of ethical principles. A classic exploration of this phenomenon is contained in the novel The Bonfire of the Vanities by Tom Wolfe.

哇，Wolfe 简直是神笔。没有一句废话（我读了《虚荣的篝火》Bonfire of the Vanities，简直就像踏入了一个全新的世界）。
Wow, Wolfe writes like a God. Not a dull sentence (I read Bonfire of the Vanities and it was like stepping into another world).
