Lesson 55

    More Is Not Always Better

    Some people have more money than others. However, they're not necessarily¹ happier. On the other hand, some people are as poor as church mice, but they are happy. In a way, these poor people are as rich as kings. Therefore², I always remember my father's words, "More is not always better."

    多未必佳

    有些人比别人有钱。不过，他们未必就比较快乐。另一方面，有些人穷得要命，可他们却很快乐。就某方面而言，这些穷人却像国王一样富有。因此，我始终记得父亲的话：“多未必佳。”
