大学的两分钟英语演讲稿

　　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.

　　金钱能买到幸福吗?不同的人有不同的看法。有些人认为是的，而另一些人则持相反的想法。

　　这是真的，有足够的钱，人们可以买到一个人想要的一切东西，并过上舒适和安全的生活。然而，同样的事实是，缺乏资金会造成巨大的痛苦。“钱是一切罪恶的根源”是一种普遍的观点，对金钱的追求驱使许多人去欺骗和偷窃。在一些地方，没有什么是不能用金钱买来的，在腐化的社会，每个人都是悲惨的。

　　所以，金钱并不一定意味着幸福。这都取决于它是如何使用。如果我们诚信明智地使用金钱，它将是幸福的基石虽然金钱买不到幸福，但它可以使幸福成为可能。
