【答案解析】现在，不被尊重而能生存下去的几率似乎大大提高了。比如说，有人继承了一大笔钱，拥有大群仆人和雇工，还有商贩时不时来为他提供一切所需，然而他却不被人尊重。有些人还可以通过一些宝贵的才能赚很多钱，例如拥有灌篮的才能，然而或许是由于他对待别人的方式，他也得不到别人的尊重。 [解析]
Nowadays it seems much more possible to survive without being respected. Someone could, for example, inherit a large sum of money, have many servants and employees and have salesmen constantly calling on him and catering to him, yet not be respected in the least. Someone could also make a lot of money through having a particular talent which is valued, such as being able to dunk a basketball yet not really be respected, perhaps because of the way he treats others.
