財富Wealth
the word Wealth always reminds people of money and the sayings or concepts related to money. for example, “money talks”; “money makes the ghosts turn the mill”; “as birds die for food, so men die for Wealth”; “the poor have no friends even though they live in the noisy downtown, while the rich have remote kinsfolk even if they live in the deep mountains”; “poverty chills ambition” “one cent short may put a hero in an awkward situation” etc, etc..
in the 1980' s, all shops were state-owned with marked prices. you couldn't buy what you wanted with even one cent short, so one cent could indeed embarrass a hero. a popular song at that time started “i picked up one cent at the roadside, and i handed it over to the policeman…” but now no one cares to pick it up even if it were ten cents.
people's reverence for money is expressed in varied ways. the names of companies or stores are often “beer of Wealth and honor”, “restaurant of Wealth and rank” “store of the aristocrats” “hotel of fame and prestige” etc. (even some people's names have the meanings of “full of gold” or “great fortune”). at new year's time, the god of Wealth is worshiped and the picture of the god is covered with signs of money. when a millionaire is walking in the street, people will show their profound respect even though they know very well that they can not get a cent from him. the english film “the million-pound note” makes a most vivid revelation of this situation. with the million pound note in hand, the hero has the privilege to buy on credit, or on loan and is even presented money from others. it's an idealized end of the story that the hero is still loved by his girl friend even after he lost his million-pound note. however, without the million-pound note, they couldn't have known each other. it's very difficult for people to make friends directly with beggars.
the song of “all good things must end” in a dream of the red mansions attacks the money worshipers by saying:
“all men long to be immortals
yet silver and gold they prize
and grub for money all their lives
till death seals up their eyes”
but when chen shih-yin tries to expound this song by analyzing the inconstancy of human relationships and the incomprehensible human heart, he has to say:
“while men with gold and silver by the chest
turn beggars, scorned by all and dispossessed”
the conclusion is that it doesn't work without money.
in spite of the human civilizations over thousands of years, people can not deny the function of money. this shows how important money is. money plays a decisive role to individuals, to families and even to countries or nationalities. otherwise, why is everyone, from doorkeepers to presidents, trying to earn as much as possible? why does every country need chancellors of the exchequer, who keep formulating and revising financial laws and regulations? how different it is to be a creditor nation and a debtor nation! the united states is playing the tyrant just because it is Wealthy enough. a poor man may cherish lofty aspirations, but will probably be beaten because of his poverty. the afghanistan may have won a lot of sympathy, but how difficult it would be to live solely on charity.
of all ages and in every country, all kinds of corruption stem from money. no matter how rough the man is, and in what despicable way he earned the money, he can grease the palms of or buy over some very decent officials or even intellectuals. can you see how crucial a role money is playing? (a case in point is the bankrupt of the company)
some people or organizations like some religious groups claim that they have seen through the human vanity and can take money lightly, but to people's puzzlement, they are also accumulating money, either to renovate the temples, or to regild buddha's statues, in whatever pretexts. they are not engaged in production, so they can only depend on the donations from the devout believers. sometimes your sincerity relies on whether you donate and how much you donate. do the monks care about money? the answer is affirmative. what's more, many monks are already provided with a salary.
we are living in a material world, and it's really difficult to deny the function of money or Wealth. we need money for food, clothes, education, hospital, housing and transportation, etc. there's rarely anything that doesn't need money. what we can discuss now is not the importance of money, but whether money is almighty and whether more Wealth can bring us more happiness.
we must say that money is not almighty, and there are many things which money can't do. for example, many emperors like qin shihuang longed for elixirs. as Wealthy as they were, and as mighty as they were to take every measure to search for long life medicine, they still could not avoid the sad denouement that “their graves are a covered with
weeds”.many great men suffered from fatal illness. even though they were treated with the best medical means, they had to suffer as much as the ordinary people, and met with the same inescapable fate. rich or poor, great or ordinary, we come and go with nothing belonging to us.
huang shiren, the cruel hearted landlord, was rich but xi'er would rather hid in the deep mountains and turn into a white-hired girl than marrying him;
wang baochuan wouldn't give up her marriage with xue pinggui even though she had to live in the cold cave for over ten years;
emperor shunzhi of the qing dynasty owned the whole country, but just because of the death his beloved concubine, he eventually became disillusioned with this world and spent the rest of life in the temple as a monk (it's all right even if it is a legend).
many love stories can never be bought with money. the ever-lasting folktale of liang shanbo and zhu yingtai shows people's identification with this point of view.
Wealthy men also have a lot of worries: afraid of being stolen or kidnapped, they may have to hire a bodyguard; they're concerned about their spoiling the children, or worry about the family discord because of the legacy disputes after their death; fearing devaluation if they don't invest, while fearing of bankrupt if they invest; where is their happiness?
how much is enough? no limitation. as poor as beggars without a penny, they can make a living by begging. it's said that some have become millionaires through begging. as Wealthy as a billionaire, they can only enjoy a couple of dishes each meal. if someone is allergic to seafood, or tired of rich dishes, he may enjoy the pickled vegetables just as much.
as for money, people can take it easy sometimes, but most of the time, they can't. in theory, they may take it easy while in practice, they usually take it very seriously; talking about others, they can take it easy, but to themselves, they take it seriously again. some people take it seriously for one moment, but may take it easy afterwards, just as we said what is hidden from the concerned is plain to the bystanders. most people take money too seriously when being involved. in fact, as long as you have enough to eat, what is the difference between a little and a lot?
everything has a limit, so does money. we should conform to the course of the nature in stead of going out of our way to grasp it. we should spend according to our income. the rich may enjoy much more luxuries but no less worries than the poor. the only difference is the content and form of worries. the higher the income is, the bigger the expenditure is. the world famous boxers may earn millions of dollars for one game, but often find themselves deep in debt. with an annual salary as high as tens of thousands of dollars, the former president of the united states bill clinton ran into debts because of lawsuit, and had to throw off his airs to earn money in every mean. however, the monthly income of some of the chinese families is no more than a few hundred yuan while leading a life with enjoyment. happiness doesn't necessarily rely on money.
according to the western fable the gold touch, a king was very fond of gold and prayed to god for more gold everyday. to teach him a lesson, god imparted the gold touch to him. from then on, whatever he touched turned into gold, including bread, milk, flowers, and even his beloved daughter. he couldn't eat gold, of course, nor could he lose his daughter. in the end, he repented his sin, pleaded god to take the gold touch back and went back to his former happy life again. this story is a little exaggerated, but at the same time it told us vividly that Wealth and happiness are not synonym. what's more, no matter how much money you have, you can't spend it all.
being poor is not because someone is penniless, but mainly because of the lonely misery in his inner world. they are green-eyed, because they are never satisfied with what they have, but are always jealous of people who are successful or who earn higher salaries. they never look at other people's devotions and contributions, but with their habit of jealousy they always feel poor and uncomfortable. it is more difficult to solve internal poverty. suppose we can look back at the past with the concept of Wealth, how can we stay poor? we may well say that Wealth lies in your heart and we should know how to treasure it.

第四篇：高中英語作文素材 財富與人生 Wealth and life
財富與人生(Wealth and life)
people's Wealth and life are closely connected. one's amount of Wealth includes wisdom, knowledge, money, and properties. i believe that the amount of our Wealth directly affects an over all quality of our life.
without having a significant amount of knowledge and wisdom, parents and teachers cannot nurture their childen and students well. lacking enough of education or knowledge, our abilities of educating others may be poorly evaluated. without having a large amount of income or savings, we may have a hard time surviving. if we didn't have money for food and clothes, we could not have any power giving love to others. last but not least, it is very important to understand the significant relationship between our Wealth and life.
the quality and the total amount of our Wealth really determine the abilities and power in our life!
