Today more and more people wish to get more money.They think money is everything.They say,"Money makes the mare go." If they have a lot of money,their dreams will become true,living a happy life,having a good house to live in,owing a famous car to drive and so on.In a word,they can do everything they like with,money.They can get whatever they want.
In a way,of course,money is really very important to us' all.Without money,we can do nothing and can't live on.But we must know that money can't bring us everything.With money,we can buy many things indeed,but we can't buy knowledge,precious time,true love and so on.These are the most precious things in the world.If a person has none of them,though he has a great deal of money,he is still poor.Not all people can become rich.In order to get more money,some people even break the law,stealing,robbing,cheating or doing something wrong.At last they get punished and even sent to prison.
However,money can bring us not only happiness but also misery.If money doesn't bring people real happiness,it has no value itself.We must know clearly that money doesn't mean everything.
钱能给我们带来什么
当今越来越多的人希望得到更多的钱.他们认为金钱就是一切.他们说：“有钱能使鬼推磨.”如果他们有很多钱,他们会梦想成真,过着一种幸福的生活,有好房子住,拥有名牌汽车等.总之,他们用金钱能做到他们喜欢做的一切.他们能得到他们想要的所有东西.
当然,从某种意义上来讲,金钱对大家都很重要.没有钱,我们没法办事,甚至无法生活下去,但是,应该认识到金钱并不能带给人一切.金钱能买到许多东西,但买不到知识,也买不到宝贵的时间,真正的爱情等.这些都是世界上最宝贵的东西.如果一个人没有知识、没有时间、没有爱,纵然再有钱,他也是贫穷的.不是所有的人都能变成富翁.为了弄到更多的钱,有些人甚至违反法律,偷、抢、骗或做别的坏事.最后他们会受到惩罚.
不管怎样,金钱不仅能带给我们快乐,而且也能给我们带来不幸.如果金钱给人们带来的不是真正的幸福,金钱就失去了自身的价值.我们必须清楚地认识到,金钱并不意味着一切.
