【范文】
When facing a TV field interview on “are you happy?”, thosepeople, wearing decent or fashionable clothes and carrying expensive bags,stunned and hesitated to response, with their puzzled eyes wide open. On thecontrary, the beggar in rags confidently answered “I’m very happy”, grinningfrom ear to ear and contenting himself with appetizing smell of a fried chickenleg in his bowl.
In a comparative way, the pictures vividly present us a philosophy:wealth isn’t in proportion to happiness. Happiness is nothing but subjectiveperception. It doesn’t mean that the wealthier you are, the happier you are. Just asdepicted in the pictures, those possessing more property than the beggar stillcouldn’t feel that they live happy lives. On the other hand, if approachedinappropriately, more wealth may cause huge disasters. To a great extent, someofficiallings or second rich generations go astray or commit crimes mostlybecause of abusing huge fortunes inherited from their prestigious parents.
Happiness is everyone’s pursuit but it is not directly proportional to wealth. Wealthshouldn’t be treated as the best measure of happiness. Only by cherishingwhat you own now and persisting in achieving what you desire will youexperience the real happiness.
【精譯】
面對(duì)某個(gè)電視臺(tái)關(guān)于“你幸福嗎”的現(xiàn)場(chǎng)采訪時(shí)，那些提著或挎著昂貴皮包、穿著體面或時(shí)髦的人都躲躲閃閃、眼睛瞪得大大的，茫然不知所措。相反，那位衣衫襤褸的乞丐卻滿臉笑容，一邊享受著盛在碗里的雞腿散發(fā)著的香味，一邊自信地回答道：“我很幸福”。
這兩幅圖片通過一種比較的方式告訴我們一個(gè)哲理：財(cái)富與幸福并不成正比。幸福只是一種主觀感受。你擁有的財(cái)富越多，并不意味著你就越快樂。正如那兩幅圖片描繪的那樣，那些人擁有的財(cái)富比那個(gè)乞丐多，但他們并沒有感到自己過著一種幸福的生活。另一方面，如果過多的財(cái)富使用不當(dāng)，還會(huì)帶來災(zāi)難。在很大程度上，一些官二代或富二代之所以走上歧途或犯罪，主要是因?yàn)槠錇E用從聲望顯赫的父母那里繼承來的巨額財(cái)富所致。
幸福是每個(gè)人的追求，但是它并不與財(cái)富成正比關(guān)系。我們不應(yīng)該將財(cái)富看作是衡量幸福的最佳標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。只要你能夠珍惜現(xiàn)在所擁有的，并堅(jiān)持不懈地去追求自己渴望得到的，你就會(huì)體驗(yàn)到真正的幸福。
