　　The Advantages of Saving Money

　　Everyone must work to live， but many people are fortunate enough to make more money than they immediately need. What should they do with this extra income? While it is tempting for people to spend it all on things they desire， I believe it is better to save at least a portion of the extra income for the future.

　　By saving money， people give themselves more security. They cannot predict the future; perhaps one day they will be jobless. At a time like this their savings can spare them a great deal of suffering and help to see them through the hard time. In addition， saving money allows people to build up a larger sum. They can then buy something more worthwhile than the small things they can but if they spend the money right away. For example， they may be able to buy a house with their savings. Finally， the practice of saving helps people develop the habit of setting goals and planning for their future. In this way they are bound to lead more meaningful and successful lives.

　　Most people would like to enjoy their money immediately. Nobody likes to wait for the things that he wants. However， if we learn to save our money， we can gain more advantages in the future. We will lead more secure and， thus， happier lives. We will also be able to buy the things we truly want but cannot afford right now.

　　參考譯文

　　存錢(qián)的好處

　　每個(gè)人都必須工作以求生存，但是有許多人很幸運，能夠賺得比他們立即需要的還要多的錢(qián)。他們應該如何處理這些額外的收入呢?盡管把錢(qián)全花在自己想買(mǎi)的東西上是很誘人的，但我認為最好至少把一部分的額外收入存起來(lái)，以備將來(lái)之需。

　　通過(guò)存錢(qián)，人們能獲得的安全感。未來(lái)是無(wú)法預測的，或許有一天我們會(huì )失業(yè)。碰到像這樣的情況，存款可以讓我們免去許多痛苦，幫助我們渡過(guò)難關(guān)。此外，存錢(qián)可以使人積累較多的錢(qián)，可以用于買(mǎi)更有價(jià)值的東西，比馬上把錢(qián)花掉所能買(mǎi)到的東西更有用。例如，我們可以用存款買(mǎi)房子。最后，存錢(qián)能幫助我們培養設定目標及為未來(lái)作計劃的習慣。如此一來(lái)，我們一定會(huì )過(guò)著(zhù)更有意義并且更成功的生活。

　　大部分的人會(huì )想要馬上享用手邊的錢(qián)。沒(méi)有人想等到以后再買(mǎi)想要的東西。然而，如果我們學(xué)會(huì )存錢(qián)，未來(lái)可以獲得的好處。我們將過(guò)著(zhù)更有安全感而且更快樂(lè )的生活。我們也能購買(mǎi)我們真正想要但現在無(wú)法負擔的東西。
