On Money

Different people have different attitudes towards money.For example, some of the rich are very mean with their money, whilesome of them are quite generous. Some people lack of money but they are not absorbed in pursuit ofwealth while some people regard money as everything. As faras I am concerned, money is necessary for all of us, but it is not all for us.

不同的人对于金钱持有不同的态度。比如说，有些有钱人花钱很吝啬，而有些则很慷慨。有些人缺钱用但不沉迷于追求财富，而有些人则把金钱视为一切。在我看来，金钱对于我们是必需的，但金钱不是我们的全部。

For one thing, money isnecessary for all of us. In modern society, money is one of tools for measure thevalue and can be used to exchange materials. All materials we need for ourbasic existence is all about money. Without money, our existence will bethreatened and we can not find our way to live. Therefore, all of us need toearn money to afford us and our family basic needs, such as food, clothes andhouse.

一方面，金钱对我们来说是必需的。在现代社会，金钱是衡量价值的工具之一，并且可以用来交换物质资料。我们生存所必需的所有物质资料都和金钱有关。没有金钱，我们的生存就会受到威胁，我们就没法生活。因此，我们所有人都需要学会赚钱来提供基本的生活需求，比如食物，衣服和房子。

For another, money is not allfor us. Though money can be used to exchange our basic needs, it is notalmighty. For example, we cannot use money to buy a real love or ability withmoney. Hence, just as the saying goes, “money is good servant but a bad master”.We cannot be controlled by money so that we will not be a pathetic slave ofmoney.

另一方面，金钱不是我们的全部。虽然金钱可以用来交换我们的基本需求，但它不是万能的。比如说，我们用金钱买不到一段真挚的爱，买不到真正的能力。因此，正如俗话所说：“人要支配钱，不要叫钱支配人”。我们不能被金钱所控制，这样我们才不会沦为金钱的奴隶。

In short, we need money butwe should not regard money as our only purpose. Only hold this attitude can weuse our money properly.

简言之，我们需要金钱，但是我们不能够把金钱当做一切事情的目的。只有持有这种态度，我们才能适当地使用金钱。
