孩子們,如何使用壓歲錢呢？Kids, How Would You Deal With Your “Lucky Money”?
Kids would be overexcited during Spring Festival, for the simple reason that they would receive “lucky money”from their parents as well as other elderships. According to ancient custom, the elder generations put a certain number of money in a red envelope, and give it to the children of the family, wishing that the children would grow up healthily and happily.
孩子們在春節期間都會很興奮，原因很簡單，他們會從父母和其他長輩那里得到“壓歲錢”。按照古老的習俗，長輩們會把一定數量的錢放在一個紅包里，之后就給家里的小孩們，希望孩子們能夠健康快樂地成長。
How to reasonably deal with those “lucky money”is a serious question for parents and children alike. As far as I am concerned, two ways below are worth to be considered.
父母和小孩如何合理地使用這些“壓歲錢”是一個很嚴肅的問題。我認為以下兩種方式都是值得考慮的。
One sensible way is to save the money for higher education. With the development of economic and urbanization, the competition is becoming more and fiercer. The demand of people with high degree is increasing, which means, the threshold for a “white-collar”job is higher and higher. Therefore, accepted into a college is viewed as a necessary and an initial step for a good job. Given the increasing cost of college education and postgraduate education, saving the “lucky money”is at least an economic guarantees for higher education.
一種明智的做法是把錢存起來用于高等教育。隨著經濟的發展以及城市化進程的加快，市場競爭日趨激烈。對于高學歷人才的要求日益增加，這就意味著， “白領”的門檻是越來越高了。因此，上過大學被認為是好工作的必要步驟。鑒于大學教育和研究生教育成本的增加，把“壓歲錢”存起來至少是對高等教育的一個經濟保障。
The other way is investing, and by investing I do not mean buy stocks or bonds, but investing in self-improvement. For example, purchasing some books, literature, politic, philosophy, whatever you like. As Bacon said, “reading makes a full man”, investing in books you are interested in would expand your knowledge and improve your attainment. However, not only books could attribute to self-improvement, art and sports or other skills could also do. Invest some money to learn piano, guitar, etc.; or to learn dancing, swimming, tennis…Or just to learn how to drive is a worthwhile acquirement.
另一種是投資，而投資我并不是指購買股票或債券，而是對自我提高的投資。例如，購買一些書籍，文學，政治，哲學，任何你喜歡的都可以。正如培根說的，“讀書使人充實”，在你感興趣的書上投資可以擴大你的知識，提高自己的素養。然而，不僅僅是書籍可以幫助自我提高，藝術和體育或其他技能也是可以的。投資一些錢去學鋼琴，吉他等；或學習舞蹈，游泳，網球……或只是學習駕駛也是有價值的收獲。
All in all, you could name other good ways to use“lucky money” of course, as long As It Is worthwhile, and saving for education and investing in self-improvement are definitely among them.
總之，當然，只要是值得的，你也可以列出其他使用“壓歲錢”的好方法，為教育存錢，為自我提高而投資肯定是其中之一。
