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，爲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，我不認爲因爲我有錢，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：也許你說得對!
