10.節儉 對話
Steven is a wealthy man, but he is very economical. And Jack can't understand it and asks him the reason.
史蒂文很富有,但依然很節儉。對此傑克很不理解,於是詢問原因……
Jack: Hey. Steven. You have a large chunk of money, but why do you still live in the old flat, instead of buying a new villa?
傑克:嘿,史蒂文,你有大把的錢,為什麼還住在那個舊公寓裏,而不買一套別墅呢?
Steven: I like to live here and enjoy my neighbors' company. And I don't think I should waste money just because I have much of it.
史蒂文:我喜歡這兒,喜歡周圍的鄰居們。而且,我不認為因為我有錢,就可以隨意地揮霍。
Jack: But I found you always hate to part with your money. Look at the car you drive; it's such a junker!
傑克:但是我發現你很捨不得花錢。看看你開的車,都破成什麼樣了!
Steven: Oh, the car is old but still in good condition. I just think we should be thrifty, whether you are rich or not.
史蒂文:噢,那車是破了點,但性能還很好。我覺得無論我們是貧窮還是富有,都應該節儉。
Jack: ...
傑克:可是……可是……
Steven: But what? Just remember that thrift is not only a great virtue, but also a great revenue.
史蒂文:可是什麼?記住,節儉不僅是一大美德,而且是一大財源。
Jack: Maybe you are right.
傑克:也許你説得對!
