金钱与荣誉 Money and Honor

作者: admin来源: 网络文章 时间: 2013-06-28

The duality of money has been puzzling people since its first appearante. On the one hand, clean money can sweeten your life, help you succeed and be your lifelong faithful companion. On the other hand, dirty money may posion your mind, ruin your happiness and discard you suddenly as a false friend.

The market economy tells us that everyone should earn a living by selling something. Professors sell their knowledge, workers sell their labor, farmers sell their produce. Money now appears more powerful than anything else and drives people crazy. The temptation of money often challenges one's honor. We are not ashamed to make more money to have a better life by our sweat. However,there is a widespread concern that millionaires become the heroes no matter whether they make any contribution to our society. Some people try desperately to make big money, which, more often than not, end up with degradation, corruption and crime.

Though money is indispensable to our life, dirty money may drag us into hell. There are many things no money can buy. We will keep our honor intact at any cost because it is our soul. Love of money is the root of all evil. For myself, I would rather die than dishonor myself for money.

金钱的双重性自出现以来就一直困扰着人们。另一方面,干净的钱可以使你的生活更加幸福,帮助你成功并且成为你一生忠实的伙伴。另一方面,肮脏的钱可能毒害你的心灵,毁了你的幸福并且像一个虚伪的朋友突然把你抛弃了。

市场经济告诉我们,每个人都应该以出卖一些东西来谋生。教授出售他们的知识,工人出卖自己的劳动力,农民出售他们的农产品。现在看来钱比其他任何其他东西都更加具有迫使人发疯的能力。金钱的诱惑力常常挑战着一个人的名誉。我们想赚更多的钱,用我们的汗水去换取一个更好的生活。但是,有一种普遍的观念,百万富翁就是英雄,无论他们是否对这个社会做出了贡献。有些人试图拼命赚钱,这人中,更多人的往往不是赚到了大钱,而是最终退化成腐败和犯罪。

虽然金钱是我们生活中不可缺少的,肮脏的钱会将我们拖向地狱。金钱不是万能的。我们应该不惜任何代价去保护好自己的名誉,因为它是我们的灵魂。爱财是万恶之源。对于我自己,我宁愿死也不会为了金钱而去背弃自己灵魂。
