THRIFT 節(jié)儉

　　There is not a (no) thrifty man but becomes a rich man sooner or later. Why? Because he will not spend such money as　is unnecessary. Little by little his money will accumulate. Ten to one, he is bound to make a fortune.

　　I do not like such men as spend their money in a wrong way. They do not know extravagance is a bad thing. It can only　make them happy for the time being. In short, thrift makes poor men rich and extravagance makes rich men poor.

　　沒有一個(gè)節(jié)儉的人遲早不成為一個(gè)富翁。為什么?因?yàn)樗麤Q不花像那種不必要的錢。漸漸他的錢就會(huì)聚積起來。十之八九，他一定會(huì)發(fā)財(cái)?shù)摹?/p>

　　我不喜歡那種亂花錢的人。他們不知道奢侈是一件壞事。它只能夠使他們暫時(shí)快樂而已?？偠灾?，節(jié)儉使窮人變富，奢侈使富人變窮。
