英语作文：金钱能买到快乐吗
金钱能买到快乐吗 Can Money Buy Happiness?
Different people have diffhrent views on money. It is held that money is the source of happiness. But it is also held that money is the root of evil. Those who hold the first opinion think that with money one can enjoy everything luxurious in the world; one can eat delicacies and drink good wine, can buy a luxurious house or car, and can travel around the world. In contrast, those who hold the second view think that with money some people visit prostitutes and abuse drug, others bribe government officials, manipulate an election or the parliament, even form terrorist organizations and launch unjust wars. In my opinion, money is something but not everything. Not every rich person is happy, nor is every poor person unhappy. Besides, I think money itself is neither good nor bad. It is the person who uses money that can be regarded as good or bad. Money can be used to build a country but it can also be used to destroy a country. Therefore, money itself has nothing to do with happiness or evil.

不同的人有不同的意见的钱。人们认为金钱是幸福的源泉。但也有人认为金钱是罪恶的根源。持第一种观点的人认为，有钱可以享受世界上一切奢华的东西;人们可以吃山珍海味，喝好酒，可以买豪华的房子或汽车，可以周游世界。相反，持第二种观点的人认为，有钱人会去嫖妓和吸毒，其他人贿赂政府官员，操纵选举或议会，甚至组织恐怖组织，发动不公正的战争。在我看来，钱是东西，但不是万能的。不是每个富人都快乐，也不是每个穷人都不快乐。此外，我认为金钱本身既不好也不坏。使用金钱的人可以被认为是好的或坏的。钱可以用来建设一个国家，但也可以用来摧毁一个国家。因此，金钱本身与幸福或邪恶无关。
