Murder of the Century
In the decades following the Civil War, vast fortunes were being made by men who had started their lives with virtually nothing.
内战后的几十年里，那些白手起家的人创造了巨额财富。
Confident that their extraordinary financial success was a reward for virtue, they thought of themselves as a kind of American nobility.
他们相信自己非凡的经济成功是对美德的回报，他们认为自己是美国的贵族。
In fact, their business practices were often predatory and most certainly their personal lives were riddled with impropriety.
事实上，他们的商业行为往往具有掠夺性，而且他们的个人生活也充满了不当行为。
Given their influence, this went largely unreported by the press until one night in 1906.
鉴于他们的影响力，直到 1906 年的一个晚上，媒体基本上都没有报道这一事件。
Stanford White, a figure at the very center of this world, was dead.
斯坦福·怀特，这个世界正中心的人物，死了。
New York City's leading architect and arbiter of taste had been shot in a dispute over a showgirl.
纽约市的首席建筑师和品味仲裁者在一场歌舞女郎纠纷中被枪杀。
Now the newspapers wrote about "lecherous, champagne-supping men and the theatrical women who were their willing consorts." Working people, who viewed them with a mixture of suspicion and envy, found the story irresistible.
现在报纸上写的是“好色、喝香槟的男人和愿意与他们作伴的戏剧女人”。工人们以怀疑和嫉妒的眼光看待这些故事，发现这个故事令人无法抗拒。
BRENDAN GILL, Critic/Author: It had everything, society -- money, rage, lust, envy.
布伦丹·吉尔（BRENDAN GILL），评论家/作者：它拥有一切，社会——金钱、愤怒、欲望、嫉妒。
And in those days we had, whatever it was, fifteen newspapers in New York City -- it wasn't limited to two or three newspapers -- and it was just -- it was the great story.
在那些日子里，不管是什么，我们在纽约市有十五份报纸——不限于两三份报纸——而且这就是——这是一个伟大的故事。

No murder had ever received so much publicity.
从来没有哪起谋杀案受到如此多的关注。
The attention was due, in large part, to the new and highly sensational "yellow press" dailies.

The papers were written for a huge new population of working people who had moved to the city in search of factory jobs.

As the case unfolded, readers were constantly reminded of the gulf that separated them from their rich employers.
随着案件的展开，读者们不断地想起他们与富有的雇主之间的鸿沟。

1906 年，只有 1% 的美国家庭控制着国家近 90% 的财富，其中很多人住在第五大道上段的豪宅中。

The most aggressive of the papers, The Evening Journal, launched the offensive with these words: "The flash of that pistol lighted up an abyss of moral turpitude, revealing powerful, reckless, openly-flaunted wealth."
其中最具攻击性的报纸《晚报》以这样的话语发起攻势：“那把手枪的闪光照亮了道德败坏的深渊，揭露了强大、鲁莽、公开炫耀的财富。”
