富翁

• 拼音: fù wēng
• 汉字拆解: 富 = 宀 + 畐 (wealthy, abundant); 翁 = 公 + 羽 (old man, venerable person)

含义

A wealthy man; a rich person; a man of great means. Refers to an individual — typically male — who possesses substantial wealth.

A neutral to slightly literary term. 百万富翁 (millionaire) and 亿万富翁 (billionaire) are standard compounds. Often used in narratives and fables contrasting the rich with the poor. More literary and less colloquial than 有钱人. Can be used self-deprecatingly or in passing references to wealth.

正确说法

• 这位亿万富翁出身贫寒，年少时曾以捡废品为生，其奋斗历程令人动容。(This billionaire came from a humble background and once made a living collecting scrap metal in his youth — his story of perseverance is deeply moving.)
• 古典小说中的守财奴富翁形象往往用来讽刺不知善用财富的社会阶层。(The miser-rich-man figure in classical fiction is often used to satirise those social classes that do not know how to use their wealth well.)

错误说法

• 她是个富翁 — 富翁 traditionally refers to a man; for a wealthy woman, use 富婆 (colloquial) or 富有的女性 (neutral); using 富翁 for a woman is marked and unusual
