At the same time, China seems so drugged on business nowadays that it is hard to imagine many people marching for a cause that would do nothing for their bottom line. It’s almost as if the Communist Party had turned Marx on his head, replacing religion with profit as the new “opium of the masses.”
与此同时，今天的中国似乎完全沉迷于经济，很难想象人们会为和心理底线不相干的事而上街游行。共产党似乎已经彻底推翻了马克思主义，用利润代替信仰作成了新的“大众鸦片。”除穷苦潦倒的下岗工人和一贫如洗的农民外，似乎再没有什么人还抱有政治抗议的愿望。
