摘　　要：一个词能有多少含义？若是像＂精英体制＂一样道德色彩浓厚,答案则是＂很多＂。精英把成功归因于努力与天分。他的成功与运气没有任何关系,或者说他是这么告诉自己的。他同所有人分享这个观点,其中有些人太笨、太懒,根本无法以他为榜样。只有当其他人对此产生质疑时,事情才会变糟。What is in a word？ When it is packed with1 as much moral zeal as ＂meritocracy＂, the answer is a lot. A meritocrat owes his success to effort and talent. Luck has nothing to do with it-or so he tells himself. He shares his view with everyone else, including those too slow or indolent to follow his example. Things only go wrong when the others dispute it.
