Money Is Not Everything
Money and Morality
Almost all material things here on earth can be bought with money.Money is a medium of exchange to acquire any services or material things that we want or need.For many people,money is everything.They believe that having a lot of money can bring them to the satisfaction of which they have dreamed.That's how powerful is money.It can control the mind of an individual.
金钱不是万能的
金钱与道德
地球几乎所有的物质都可以用钱买到,钱是用来获得我们想要的服务或我们需要的物质的交换媒介.对很多人来说,钱就是一切,他们认为有钱就能实现他们一切的愿望.这就是人们常说的“金钱是万能的”.钱会控制人类的个性心理.
Many people,because of their obsession to have more money will do anything,even if they have to transfigure people into objects to acquire what they really want.That is why in our economy today,the rich become richer,and the poor become poorer.How sad it is to know that kind of reality.
那些认为有钱就有一切的人们,只要能得到他们想要的东西,即使是把人变成的物体的事他们也会做.这也是为什么,在我们今天的经济社会,富人越来越富,穷人越来越穷.说法往往引向事实.
Money can be acquired in many ways.Most people will work to earn money.Some will create a business to accumulate and increase the amount of money they have.In moments of desperation,most people would pawn their jewelry and other belongings to obtain instant money.Some of them would sell their properties and even their structured settlements in order for them to have available cash.The worst thing of all is that a person would risk his own life and dignity by doing a criminal act only to have money.How ironic it is.They think of money as everything to their lives,but they are wrong,absolutely wrong.
赚钱的渠道有很多.大多数人做工作挣钱.一些人通过创业使他们的钱得到积累和增值.绝望的时候,他们大多会抵押他们所拥有的珠宝或财产来获得转瞬即逝的金钱.他们中的一些会卖掉他们的财产甚至是终身赔偿来换取现钱.更糟的是,有的人甚至不顾生命和尊严,走向犯罪道路,获取不义之财.多么讽刺啊.他们认为钱是他们生命中的一切,但是其实他们错了,绝对错了.
The reality that we should embrace is that we need money,but it does not follow that money is the only reason of our existence here on earth.Money is important,but it is not everything.There are many factors that can create fulfillment here on earth,not money alone.They are our family,our friends,and even our new acquaintances.They can help us grow and reach our goals.
我们应该接受的事实是,我们需要钱,但钱绝不是生存的唯一理由.钱很重要,即不能代表一切.除了钱,还有很多东西可以丰富我们的
生活.他们可以帮我们成长和达到目标.
Remember that money is only a material thing.It is created for our convenience,but it should be used for good.It is created for us to control; it is not made to control us.Imagine a person has enough money to buy anything and everything that he wants,but can you imagine that with only that resource that such a person could be truly happy and fulfilled?
记住,钱只是一种物质而已.它是为了我们生活方便而生的,应该用于好的方面.它生来就是为我们控制的,而不是用来控制我们的.如果一个人有足够的钱来买任何他想要的东西,你觉得只有这钱一种东西的人能得到真正快乐和充实吗?
Money is good but loving it makes it bad.We can work hard to earn more money.We can sell our properties and our other belongings to have money in emergencies.Remember,we should work not only for the reason of receiving but also for the reason of giving.Money is indeed important,but it is not everything.
金钱虽好却不能做守财奴.我们可以通过努力工作赚钱.紧急时,我们可以卖掉我们的财产或其他所有物来换钱.但是,请铭记,我们工作不仅是为了得到,同时也是付出也是生活的意义.钱的确很重要,但是它不是万能的.
