金钱和时间

大多数的人永远都嫌自己不够有钱。然而社会学家发现，当人们真正有钱之后，又会抱怨自己没有足够的时间。从很多例子可以看出，越是有钱的人越没有时间，而穷人和那些失业的人，每天闲得难受。

人们追求财富，目的是为了让生活过得更好，可奇怪的是，人们一旦有了钱，反而更忙碌，更无法舒舒服服地过日子。

当生活不富裕的时候，很多人都想过“等我有了钱以后就可以怎么样怎么样”。在人们的想像中，“有钱”代表自由、独立、随心所欲——夏天可以到海边度假；冬天可以到山上去滑雪。

然而，当人们果真富有了，却发现自己根本无法去实现这些梦想——理由永远只有一个：“没时间！”不少高收入的人，像律师、医生、经理、会计师等等，几乎都是工作狂，平均一天工作10到12小时，到了周末、节假日还是要加班，生活中只有工作、工作。对于他们来说，时间就是金钱，他们有意无

MONEY AND TIME

Most people always

complain that they don't have

enough money. However,

sociologists have found that after

people become wealthy they will

complain that they don't have

enough time . As is evidenced by

many an example, the more

money a person has, the less time

he will have, while the poor and

the unemployed are bored having

nothing to do everyday.

In pursuit of wealthy, people

aim for a better life. But

strangely enough,once they get

rich, they tend to be even busier,

making it impossible for them to

live in ease and comfort.

At the time when they were

not well off, many people

dreamed that they could do this

and do that after they acquired

enough money. In their mind,

"money" means freedom,

independence and grafitication of

desire------in summer they can

go vacationing on the beach, and

in the winter they can go skiing

in the mountains.

However, when they are

really prosperous, they realized

that it is impossible for them to

fulfill such dreams. The reason

they give is always one and the

same: "I've got no time !" Many

high-salaried professionals like

lawyers, doctors, manegers and
