第二十三天：MONEY 錢

　　Everybody wishes （hopes） to get money so that he can maintain his livelihood. In other words, money is so useful that it is impossible for mankind to live without it. For this reason, we have an interesting proverb. It says “Money can make the world go around.” In a word, money is more powerful than anything else.

　　However, money should not be wasted. It must be used for （some） proper purposes. We young men should form the good habit of not spending money in the wrong way.

　　每個人爲了能夠維持生活，所以都希望得到錢。換句話說，錢是非常有用，所以沒有它人類即無法生活。基於此種理由，我們有一句有趣的諺語。它說有“錢能使鬼推磨”。一言以蔽之，錢比任何另外的東西更有力量。

　　然而，錢不應該被浪費掉。它必須用於正儅的用途上。我們青年人應該養成不亂花錢的好習慣。
