2. Wealthy Chinese bought at least seven overseas islands in 2014.

3. Many are less than impressed by the cheesy indulgence, with the New York Daily News speaking to one dietitian who blasted the lack of nutritional value in the pizza's most expensive ingredient: the Ecuador-imported gold flakes.

4. But the runaway winner was Ford CEO Mark Fields, who began the year with the depressing news that his company was “transitioning from an auto company to an auto company and a mobility company”. He then went on to declare: “Heritage is history with a future.” He was so chuffed with this, he said it more than once. On hearing it repeated, I’ve concluded it is less gnomic than downright moronic. Mr Fields is thus my new Chief Obfuscation Champion.

5. Google and Amazon rank second and third respectively.

6. 今年的获奖榜单如下：

应用

1. It is not unusual for the documented wealth of China’s richest people to surge suddenly — or even for previously unknown tycoons to burst into prominence — as stock exchange listings and other public investments thrust them into the spotlight.

2. Everybody has heard by now that health care companies are promising hunting grounds for job seekers, and the New Year will see hiring perk up elsewhere, too.

3. n. 改革，改良

4. 比特币发展势头强劲的另一个指标是，接受比特币的主流企业数量增加。2014年，微软、贝宝、戴尔以及Dish Network等企业宣布，自身一系列产品接受比特币付款。此前已有塔吉特（该公司接受能以比特币购买的Gyft）、Overstock.com以及WordPress等公司接受比特币。就连《财富》出版商——时代公司，也开始接受比特币杂志订阅。去年，雅虎还将比特币加入其雅虎财经跟踪网站，令比特币更显正统。谷歌财经也很快依样画葫芦。雅虎发言人向CoinDesk网站表示：“接受比特币越来越普遍，我们觉得这与我们行业、我们用户切身相关。”假如雅虎很快更大力押宝比特币——不论是收购比特币新创企业，还是宣布其他动作——都别太惊讶，因为雅虎首席执行官玛丽莎o梅耶尔正努力使这家止步不前的搜索巨头变得更时髦。

5. Admittedly, choosing the most clichéd gender colors can seem a bit simplistic, but Pantone has a broad constituency to manage; this is not about the cutting edge, but the big middle.

6. “还有大批人没有统计进来，”胡润对英国《金融时报》表示，“两周前我在北京拜访了这家投资公司。一下午的时间，我就发掘出了30个登上今年富豪榜的人。他们去年还不在我们的视线内。”

1. The host list of 2014 Spring Festival Gala, including Zhu Jun, Dong Qing, Bi Fujian, Li Sisi and Zhang Guoli, are released on Wednesday. Chinese film actor and director Zhang Guoli will host the annual gala of China Central Television (CCTV) for the first time.
