A:Hey. Steven. You have a large chunk of money, but why do you still live in the old flat, instead of buying a new villa?

嘿,史蒂文,你有大把的钱,为什么还住在那个旧公寓里,而不买一套别墅呢?

B:I like to live here and enjoy my neighbors' company. And I don't think I should waste money just because I have much of it.

我喜欢这儿,喜欢周围的邻居们。而且,我不认为因为我有钱,就可以随意地挥霍。

A:But I found you always hate to part with your money. Look at the car you drive; it's such a junker!

但是我发现你很舍不得花钱。看看你开的车,都破成什么样了!

B:Oh, the car is old but still in good condition. I just think we should be thrifty, whether you are rich or not.

噢,那车是破了点,但性能还很好。我觉得无论我们是贫穷还是富有,都应该节俭。

A:But...But...

可是……可是……

B:But what? Just remember that thrift is not only a great virtue, but also a great revenue.

可是什么?记住,节俭不仅是一大美德,而且是一大财源。

A:Maybe you are right.

也许你说得对!
