关于金钱英语演讲稿：钱不是万能的

needless to say, money is not very important, but very very important.

if there is no money, i can’t use this microphone to speak to you and we can’t have such a room to hold such a competition. without money, we can’t study in such a schoolyard. without money, we can’t live in such a hometown. without money, we can’t have such a motherland. on the other hand, if there is no money, you don’t need to bear my speech about money now.

most of us have dreams about the future, dreams of having a good job and making much money. surely someone has thought at times “if only i had a lot of money, i could be the happiest person in the world.” in fact it’s the main mistake that people make about money.

however, is money the road to happiness? not really! many people work every day, work overtime, work weekends to make a lot of money. are they happy? no. they are too busy making money. meanwhile, their personal lives, if they have any, fall apart. they have no time to form or to maintain friendship. they even lose the abilities to relax and to enjoy themselves. enjoying means taking things, taking time to see, to hear, to taste, to smell, to feel. they do not take time to do this. they say: “i’ll do it when i have enough money to retire” then they find that it is too late. why we usually make such a mistake and even more mistakes? activists say it is because of money itself. they think money has changed many things. for example, they think money has changed our way to measure someone’s value in the society. they even regard money as the source of evil. also, they hate money, but they are wrong, completely wrong.

in my opinion, it is unfair to money. money is a tool. well, there’s no denying that we do something harmful with money. but we can’t say money is the source of evil. just like a hammer, we can use a hammer to kill someone, but can we say a hammer is a devil? it is the same with money.

money is neither good nor bad itself. it is a mirror, a perfect and important mirror, and a mirror that reflects both the darkness and the brilliance of humanity. in other words, all depend on us.

so, my fellow students, ladies and gentlemen in the future, ask not what we can do for money, ask what money can do for us, ask what money can do to show the brilliance of humanity. because, we have the future; we are the future.

参考译文：

不用说，钱不是很重要，而是非常非常重要的。

如果没有钱，我无法使用这个麦克风向大家讲，我们不能有这样一个房间召开这样的竞争。没有钱，我们不能在这样的研究校园。没有钱，我们不能生活在这样的故乡。没有钱，我们不能有这样的祖国。另一方面，如果没有钱，你不需要承担我的讲话钱现在。

我们大多数人都对未来的梦想，梦想有一个良好的工作和决策的钱。当然有人认为，有时“如果我有很多钱，我可能是最幸福的人在世界上。 ”事实上，它的主要错误，人们作出关于金钱。

然而，就是金钱的道路上幸福吗？不是真的！很多人每天上班，加班，工作周末作出了很多钱。他们是幸福吗？第他们太忙着赚钱。与此同时，他们的个人生活，如果他们有任何，四分五裂。他们已经没有时间去形式或保持友谊。他们甚至失去了能力的放松和享受。享受意味着外，抽空看到，听到，品尝，嗅觉，感觉。他们并不需要时间来做到这一点。他们说： “我会做到这一点，我有足够的钱退休” ，然后他们发现为时已晚。为什么我们通常会提出这样的错误，甚至更多的错误？活动人士说，这是因为金钱本身。他们认为，金钱改变了很多东西。例如，他们认为金钱改变了我们的方法来衡量人的价值在社会中。他们甚至把钱的来源邪恶。此外，他们憎恨金钱，但他们是错误的，完全错误的。

在我看来，这是不公平的钱。金钱是一种工具。嗯，有无可否认，我们做一些有害的金钱。但是，我们不能说，钱是罪恶的根源。就像一把锤子，我们可以用锤子杀死某人，但我们可以说锤子是魔鬼？这是同样的钱。

钱是既不好也不坏本身。它是一面镜子，是一个完美的和重要的一面镜子，一面镜子，映照出的黑暗和人性的光辉。换句话说，所有依赖于我们。

所以，我的同学，各位嘉宾，各位在未来，不要问我们能做些什么的钱，什么钱可以为我们做，什么钱可以显示人性的光辉。因为，我们的未来，我们是世界的未来
