can money buy happiness?

   can money buy happiness? different people have different opinions. some think yes, while others hold the opposite.

   it is true that with enough money one can buy all the things one wants, and live a life of comfort and security. however, it is equally true that lack of money causes great distress. it is a common view that "money is the root of all evil." the pursuit of money drives many people to cheat and steal. in some places there is nothing that cannot be bought with money, resulting in corrupt societies where everybody is miserable.

   so, money does not necessarily mean happiness. it all depends on how it is used. if we make honest and sensible use of money, it can be a stepping-stone to happiness l although money cannot buy happiness, it can make happiness possible if it is employed sensibly.

   金錢能買來幸福嗎?

   金錢能買來幸福嗎?不同同的人有不同的回答。有的人認(rèn)為能，有的人則持相反的意見。

   誠然一個(gè)人如果有足夠的錢可以買到他想要的所有物品，過上舒適穩(wěn)定的生活。然而，同樣缺錢往往引起巨大的憂傷。人們常常認(rèn)為“金錢是萬惡之源”，對(duì)金錢的追求驅(qū)使許多人去騙去偷。在某些地方，沒有錢買不到的東西，導(dǎo)致社會(huì)的腐化墮落。

   所以，金錢并不一定就意味著幸福。這取決于怎樣使用金錢，如果我們誠信明智地使用金錢，它將是幸福的基石。盡管金錢買不到幸福，但它可以使幸福成為可能。
