汉普蒂.邓普蒂式的资本经济体系

Humpty Dumpty =汉普蒂.邓普蒂
Capitalism =资本主义;资本经济体系
Humpty Dumpty 出自"Mother Goose"(鹅大妈童谣),原是儿歌里一个蛋形的人物,坐在樯头上,摔下来......
原文在前面还有两句,是:
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,
(接上All the kings horses and all the kings men fell down and couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again!)
一般用来比喻损坏后无法收拾、弥补的事物.

我又查得上海译文出版社的「新英汉美国小百科」、「英汉大词典」都译为\"汉普蒂.邓普蒂\", 并有类似的解释.
