Basic Listening Lesson 23

生活有时太无聊了，是啊。如果我有足够的钱，我肯定不会无聊。可是金钱不会带来幸福的。不，对我来说，会的。有了足够的金钱，就可以做自己想要做的事情了，哈哈哈。

 

A: "Life's so boring."

B: "Well, most of the time it is, I guess."

A: "What do you think will make you happy?"

B: "I think money will make me happy."

A: "You heard people say that money doesn't guarantee happiness."

B: "It will for me. Then I can do all the things I want to do."

A: "You'll get bored eventually."

B: "Then I can find something new to do. If I don't have to worry about money, then I don't have to work."

A: "That's true, I guess. If I didn't have to work, I think I would be happy."

B: "You see... money doesn't equal happiness, but it takes away a lot of responsibilities¹."
