974　Compound Interest 复利

Basic Math is the subject I teach at a small community college. I call one part of the curriculum Practical Applications for Living in the Real World. The day after I presented a lesson on simple and compound interest, one of my students approached me in the hallway. “You really taught me a great deal about my life yesterday,” he said. “I realized I've been struggling with a lack of interest, compounded daily, for thirty years.”

我在一个小的社区大学教基础数学。我把这门课的一部分称为在现实生活中的实际运用。在我教完单利和复利这一课的第二天，一个学生在门廊里追上我说：“昨天你真的给我的生活上了一堂课。让我明白，这30年来我一直过着缺乏兴趣、天天恶化的生活。”（interest：利息、兴趣；compound：复合、恶化）
