X星球系列故事 第28期:The man who loved money(在线收听) |
The man who loved money守财奴 Once upon a time, there was a man who loved money. He loved it so much that he wouldn't spend any of the money he earned. He wouldn't part with even a tiny bit.
This stingy man didn't buy new clothes. Instead, he wore old clothes that he found in the garbage. He didn't buy food, either, and he became skinnier and skinnier.
He put all the money that he saved in a box and hid it under his bed. Every night, he opened the box and looked at all his money.
One night, the man looked in the box and the money was gone! Someone had stolen it! "I've been robbed!" he shouted. "My precious money is gone!" He lay down on the bed and cried and cried.
The neighbors heard him and came over to see what was wrong. When they heard the story, one neighbor said, "Don't cry over your money. You never used it anyway. Fill the box with paper and imagine it is money. It will do you just as much good."
从前,有个男人很爱钱。他从来都不花他挣到的钱。一丁点儿也不花。 这个吝啬鬼从来不买新衣服。相反,他总是穿着从垃圾堆里翻出来的旧衣服。他也从来不买吃的,他瘦成了皮包骨。他将所有的钱都放进一个盒子里并藏在他的床下。每晚,他都打开盒子看看他的钱。 一天晚上,吝啬鬼翻出盒子发现钱不见了。有人偷了它!“我被抢劫啦”他大叫道。“我珍贵的钱都没啦”他躺在床上哭个不停。 邻居们听到他的叫声都赶来看看发生了什么。当他们听到这件事以后,一个邻居说道:“别再为你的钱哭啦,你根本就不用它们。把你的盒子用纸填满,想象着那个就是钱,你就会感觉好多啦”。
今天的超级宇宙密码有两个,一个是单词Spend SPEND spend花费(花费时间或金钱)I spent one hundred dollars on my new watch.我花了一百美金买新手表。He spent three days writing that report.他花了三天写那份报告。另一个密码是短语DO SOMEONE GOOD对某人有效果,有益处。It will do you good to get out of the house more.多出去走走对你有益。 |
