One day a rich father took his young son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose to show him how poor people can be. They spent a day and night in the farm of a very poor family. When they got back from their trip the father asked his son, how was the trip?
一天,一位富有的父亲带着他的小儿子去乡下旅行,打算让他见识一下穷人的生活。他们在一户非常贫穷人家的农场里住了一天一夜。旅行回来之后,父亲问儿子:你觉得这次旅行怎样?
Very good, Dad!
棒极了,爸爸!
Did you see how poor people can be? the father asked.
你看到穷人的生活了吗?父亲问道。
Yeah! And what did you learn?
是的!那你从中学到了什么呢?
The son answered, I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden; they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lamps in the garden; they have the stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard; they have a whole horizon.
儿子回答道:我看到我们家只有一只狗,而他们家有四只。我们的游泳池一直延伸到花园中间,而他们的小溪没有尽头。我们在花园里装了进口灯具,而他们有满天星斗。我们的天井接着前院,而他们拥有整个地平线。
When the little boy was finishing, his father was speechless.
当小男孩说完的时候,他的父亲目瞪口呆。
His son added, Thanks, dad, for showing me how poor we are!
他的儿子接着又补充道:谢谢爸爸让我看到我们是多么贫穷!
Isnt it true that it all depends on the way you look at things? If you have love, friends, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude toward life, youve got everything!
贫富的真意完全取决于你看待事物的角度,难道不是吗?如果你拥有爱人、朋友、家庭、健康、幽默感和对生活的积极态度,你就拥有了一切!
