是的。有钱还故意摆阔会让人瞧不起，会让人质疑你的文化底蕴，觉得没文化没知识的人才会这么做，无怪有很多暴发户会被“贵族”们鄙视为不懂礼数，不是真正的有钱人，只是幸运地暴富了而已。

Yeah. Showing off your money intentionally makes people look down at you. It'll make people suspect that you don't have much culture. They think that only people without culture or knowledge would act that way. It's no wonder that many of the nouveaux riches are looked down on by ''aristocrats" as not understanding etiquette. They say that nouveaux riches aren't ''real" rich people, they just got rich because of their luck.
