Nowadays, with the rapid development of the modern society, is seems that more and more people desire a rather luxurious than wealthy life, and some even consider it shameful to be thrifty. There are two different opinions about this phenomenon. One is that being thrift is a good virtue and should be taken seriously. The other is that ways of living are people’s personal choices, and should not be bother by anyone else. As far as I am concerned, I cannot positive more with the former for various reasons.
First of all, living a wealthy life does not mean not being able to be thrift. It is not difficult for anyone to economize his or her materials while enjoying the delight and convenience they are bringing. For example, it sounds wonderful to have a villa with many colorful lights, but the lights need not to be kept on during day time. It sounds comfortable to take a bath in a large bathtub, but there’s no need to keep the tap on all the time. In these ways people can certainly enjoy their lives inexpensively.
Moreover, the natural resources are limited and are on a decline. If people just keep wasting resources, our later generations will have little to use. Meanwhile, although science and technology have enhance a lot, there’s still not a perfect way to mass produce products without polluting the environment or releasing a lot of greenhouse gases. If people keep the wasting, the humanity will literally face extinction.
Last but not least, being thrift is a good virtue which has been passed from generation to generation. History has also proved that those who are thrift have much more blessings than those who are extravagant. So it is important to educate people that it’s good to have a dream, but it’s harmful to have a sumptuous and wasteful one.
To sum up, as an old saying goes, thrift is not only a great virtue, but also a great revenue. If more people become thrifty and less conceited, the world will undoubtedly become a much better one.
如今，隨著現(xiàn)代社會(huì)的飛速發(fā)展，人們似乎越來越渴望一個(gè)比富裕的生活更為奢侈的生活，有的人甚至認(rèn)為節(jié)儉是可恥的。關(guān)于這種現(xiàn)象有不同的看法。節(jié)約是美德，應(yīng)該認(rèn)真對(duì)待。另一種是，生活方式是人們的個(gè)人選擇，不應(yīng)該被任何人打擾。就我而言，由于種種原因，我不能積極的多。 首先，過著富裕的生活并不意味著不能節(jié)儉。在享受快樂和方便的同時(shí)，任何人都不難節(jié)約材料。例如，有一幢別墅有許多五顏六色的燈，但燈光不需要保持在白天的時(shí)間是美妙的。在一個(gè)大浴缸里洗個(gè)澡聽上去很舒服，但是沒有必要一直保持水龍頭。在這些方面，人們可以享受他們的生活成本。 此外，自然資源是有限的，是在下降。如果人們只是不斷地浪費(fèi)資源，我們的后代將很少使用。同時(shí)，盡管科學(xué)技術(shù)已經(jīng)提高了很多，但沒有一個(gè)完美的方法來大規(guī)模生產(chǎn)沒有污染環(huán)境或釋放大量溫室氣體的產(chǎn)品。如果人們不斷地浪費(fèi)，人類將面臨滅絕。 最后但并非最不重要的是，節(jié)儉是一種很好的美德，它已被一代一代傳給了。歷史也證明，那些比那些奢侈的人擁有更多的幸福。所以它是教育人的，有夢想是很重要，但它的危害有奢侈浪費(fèi)。 總之，俗話說，節(jié)儉不僅是美德，而且是偉大的收入。如果有更多的人變得節(jié)儉，而不那么自負(fù)，那么世界無疑將成為一個(gè)更好的人。
