英语悠选脱口秀 第145期:要不要给乞丐钱(在线收听

 讲解

Today's key word is beggar
beggar b-e-g-g-a-r
乞讨者
A beggar is someone who lives by asking people for money or food.
Here is an example:
He offered 10 yuan to the beggar.
他给了那个乞丐10块钱。
So what do you think or feel about beggars on the street? Will you give them money?
Or you think they are just too lazy? It is debatable, so let's talk!
For those who will give beggar money when they see them on the street.
Those beggars live a miserable life on the street.
They just need some help.
街上的乞丐太可怜了。对于我们来说钱包里的几块钱对我们的生活不会有特别大的影响。
But that money could make a great deal of difference to the beggars.
如果把给乞丐的几块钱换算成幸福指数,那么他们通过这些钱得到的幸福感比我们要多得多吧!
These poor people are just like you and me. They just haven't had the luck in life.
我们不能总带着有色眼镜去看他们。
当然骗子很多,但万一他真的需要一点点的帮助呢?
But for those who says no to beggars:
Begging for money is like a disease, some people think it is the easiest way to make money.
So if you give money to them, it is like you are helping spreading the disease.
另外,你不想知道自己辛辛苦苦赚来的钱到底会被用到哪里去吗?
When you give money to beggars, you have no idea about how they will spend the money.
Therefore, it is much better to directly give them food or clothes.
So what's your opinion?
