needless to say, money is not very important, but very very important.
　　if there is no money, i can’t use this microphone to speak to you and we can’t have such a room to hold such a competition. without money, we can’t study in such a schoolyard. without money, we can’t live in such a hometown. without money, we can’t have such a motherland. on the other hand, if there is no money, you don’t need to bear my speech about money now.
　　most of us have dreams about the future, dreams of having a good job and making much money. surely someone has thought at times “if only i had a lot of money, i could be the happiest person in the world.” in fact it’s the main mistake that people make about money.
　　however, is money the road to happiness? not really! many people work every day, work overtime, work weekends to make a lot of money. are they happy? no. they are too busy making money. meanwhile, their personal lives, if they have any, fall apart. they have no time to form or to maintain friendship. they even lose the abilities to relax and to enjoy themselves. enjoying means taking things, taking time to see, to hear, to taste, to smell, to feel. they do not take time to do this. they say: “i’ll do it when i have enough money to retire” then they find that it is too late.
　　why we usually make such a mistake and even more mistakes? activists say it is because of money itself. they think money has changed many things. for example, they think money has changed our way to measure someone’s value in the society. they even regard money as the source of evil. also, they hate money, but they are wrong, completely wrong.
　　in my opinion, it is unfair to money. money is a tool. well, there’s no denying that we do something harmful with money. but we can’t say money is the source of evil. just like a hammer, we can use a hammer to kill someone, but can we say a hammer is a devil? it is the same with money.
　　money is neither good nor bad itself. it is a mirror, a perfect and important mirror, and a mirror that reflects both the darkness and the brilliance of humanity. in other words, all depend on us.
　　so, my fellow students, ladies and gentlemen in the future, ask not what we can do for money, ask what money can do for us, ask what money can do to show the brilliance of humanity. because, we have the future; we are the future.

不用说，钱不是很重要，但是非常重要。
if there is no money, i can’t use this microphone to speak to you and we can’t have such a room to hold such a competition. without money, we can’t study in such a schoolyard. without money, we can’t live in such a hometown. without money, we can’t have such a motherland. on the other hand, if there is no money, you don’t need to bear my speech about money now.
如果没有钱，我不能用这个麦克风对你说话，我们不能有这样一个房间住这样的竞争。没有钱，我们不能在这样的研究校园。没有钱，我们不能生活在这样的故乡。没有钱，我们不能有这样的祖国。另一方面，如果没有钱，你不需要承担我的讲话钱现在。
most of us have dreams about the future, dreams of having a good job and making much money. surely someone has thought at times “if only i had a lot of money, i could be the happiest person in the world.” in fact it’s the main mistake that people make about money.
我们大多数人都对未来的梦想，有一个好工作，赚很多钱的梦想。当然有人认为，有时“如果我有很多钱，我可能是世界上最幸福的人。”事实上，它的主要错误，使人们对钱。
however, is money the road to happiness? not really! many people work every day, work overtime, work weekends to make a lot of money. are they happy? no. they are too busy making money. meanwhile, their personal lives, if they have any, fall apart. they have no time to form or to maintain friendship. they even lose the abilities to relax and to enjoy themselves. enjoying means taking things, taking time to see, to hear, to taste, to smell, to feel. they do not take time to do this. they say: “i’ll do it when i have enough money to retire” then they find that it is too late.
然而，钱是幸福之路吗？不是真的！很多人每天上班，加班，周末工作，赚很多钱。他们快乐吗？他们太忙赚钱。同时，他们的个人生活，如果他们有任何，崩溃。他们没有时间来形成或保持友谊。他们甚至失去了放松和享受生活的能力。享受意味着东西，花时间去看，去听，去品味，去闻，去感受。他们不花时间来做这个。他们说：“我会做到这一点，我有足够的钱退休”，然后他们发现为时已晚。
why we usually make such a mistake and even more mistakes? activists say it is because of money itself. they think money has changed many things. for example, they think money has changed our way to measure someone’s value in the society. they even regard money as the source of evil. also, they hate money, but they are wrong, completely wrong.
为什么我们经常犯这样的错误，甚至更多的错误？活动人士说，这是因为金钱本身。他们认为金钱改变了很多东西。例如，他们认为金钱改变了我们的方法来衡量人的价值在社会。他们甚至认为金钱是万恶之源。同时，他们恨钱，但是他们错了，完全错了。
in my opinion, it is unfair to money. money is a tool. well, there’s no denying that we do something harmful with money. but we can’t say money is the source of evil. just like a hammer, we can use a hammer to kill someone, but can we say a hammer is a devil? it is the same with money.
在我看来，这是不公平的钱。金钱是一种工具。嗯，无可否认，我们做一些有害的金钱。但我们不能说金钱是万恶之源。就像一把锤子，我们可以用锤子杀死某人，但我们可以说锤子是魔鬼？这是同样的钱。
money is neither good nor bad itself. it is a mirror, a perfect and important mirror, and a mirror that reflects both the darkness and the brilliance of humanity. in other words, all depend on us.
金钱本身既不好也不坏。它是一面镜子，一个完美的和重要的镜子，一面镜子，映照出的黑暗和人性的光辉。换句话说，所有依赖于我们。
so, my fellow students, ladies and gentlemen in the future, ask not what we can do for money, ask what money can do for us, ask what money can do to show the brilliance of humanity. because, we have the future; we are the future.
所以，我的同学，在未来，女士们、先生们，不要问我们能做些什么的钱，什么钱可以为我们做，什么钱可以显示人性的光辉。因为，我们的未来；我们是未来。
