英语词汇the rich are different from you and me的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

the rich are different from you and me. Ernest Hemingway’s remark about the rich, the rest of us, and money has its roots in a remark critic Mary Colum made to Hemingway at lunch one day. “I am getting to know the rich,” he told her. Replied Colum: “The only difference between the rich and other people is that the rich have more money.” Hemingway later put the remark to good use in his short story “The Snows of Kilimanjaro”—at the expense of his friend F. Scott Fitzgerald—having the story’s central character recall “poor Scott Fitzgerald and his romantic awe [of the rich] and how he had started a story once that be- gan, ‘The rich are different from you and me.’ And how some- one had said to Scott, yes, they have more money.” The only truth to this is that Fitzgerald’s story “The Rich Boy” begins: “Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me.” Fitzgerald soon complained to Hemingway, ad- vising him that “Riches have never fascinated me, unless com- bined with the greatest charm or distinction.” Later, Maxwell Perkins, editor to both Hemingway and Fitzgerald at Scribner’s, on Fitzgerald’s request changed “poor Scott Fitzgerald” in the story to “poor Julian.” But mistakes by biographers have made “the famous Hemingway-Fitzgerald exchange” a part of literary history that will probably be repeated as long as the two great authors are read.
