同學(xué)們，還記得聽力考試?yán)锾岬降牧邌荻挥械暮５佟じ窳謫幔克墒且晃槐环Q為“華爾街女巫”的傳奇女子，并被認(rèn)為是19世紀(jì)美國最富有的女人。今天我們?yōu)榇蠹医榻B她和她丈夫之間的故事。

Hetty Green was born Henrietta Howland Robinson in 1834 in Massachusetts. On July 11, 1867, at the age of 33, Robinson married Edward Henry Green, a member of a wealthy Vermont family. She made him renounce all rights to her money before the wedding.
海蒂·格林于1834年出生于馬薩諸塞州，娘家姓氏是羅賓遜。1867年7月11日，33歲的羅賓遜女士嫁給了愛德華·亨利·格林——他來自佛蒙特州的一個富裕家庭。海蒂·格林在婚前讓對方放棄了對她財產(chǎn)的一切權(quán)力。

Hetty Green's frugality and discipline soon clashed with her husband's freewheeling speculation. She had to bail out her husband several times before unofficially separating from him.
愛德華·格林喜歡隨心所欲的投機買賣。這很快就和簡樸嚴(yán)格的海蒂·格林產(chǎn)生沖突。在他們非正式離婚之前，海蒂曾數(shù)次將他保釋出來。

For most of the 1800s, Green kept a constantly rotating number of?houses in different districts to avoid taxes in any single one. In 1885, however, her main bank attempted to seize her assets to cover her husband's trading debts.
在19世紀(jì)的大部分時間里，海蒂不停地在各個區(qū)之間換房以避免被課稅。盡管如此，在1885年，她的主要往來銀行嘗試凍結(jié)她的財產(chǎn)來償還她丈夫的債務(wù)。

They had two children, a daughter and a son, and both went to live with their mother. When her son, Edward Green, nicknamed Ned, injured his leg sledding, his mother tried to take him to a charity hospital to get free care. The leg was improperly treated and had to be amputated, as gangrene had set in.
他們生了一個男孩和一個女孩。孩子們都和海蒂·格林住在一起。當(dāng)她的兒子愛德華·格林（小名內(nèi)德）滑雪橇摔傷了腿，她帶他去了慈善醫(yī)院接受免費治療。由于誤診，內(nèi)德的腿上生了壞疽而不得不被截肢。

Green's relationship with her children was strained and would remain so until her death. Her daughter left after marrying, and her son worked unpaid for years as her clerk.
海蒂·格林在死前和孩子們的關(guān)系一直很緊張。她的女兒在婚后離開了她。她兒子則作為辦事員為她工作了許多年，她卻沒有為此支付一個子兒。
