简单的生活
James is a elderly tramp whose life is simple and uncomplicated. One day a wealthy gentleman foundhim asleep on his front lawn.
詹姆斯是个老流浪汉，过着简单而常规的生活。一天，一位富有的绅士发现他睡在自家前院的草坪上。
"Mister," the gengleman said. "This is my property."
“先生，”绅士说，“这里是我的地方。”
"I'm sorry," apologized James. "I thought this was a park."
“对不起，”詹姆斯道歉说，“我还以为这儿是个公园呢。”
The gentleman, looked sympathetically at the ragged tramp. "Mister, are you happy living thiskind of life?"
绅士同情地看着衣衫褴褛的流浪汉，说：“先生，你觉得过着这样的生活幸福吗?”
"Sir, money and worldly goods do not make happiness," preached James. "To me happiness isthe freedom to roam without the pressures of society, culture, and the economy. The sky is myroof and world is my bed. Give me all this, a piece of bread, a can of baked beans, and myhappiness is complete."
“先生，金钱和那些世俗的东西并不能给人带来幸福，”詹姆斯喋喋不休地说，“对我来说，幸福就是不受社会、文化还有经济困扰地自由自在地漫游。天空是我的房顶，大地就是我的床。给我一片面包、一罐烘豆，我的幸福就十全十美了。”
"I admire your sincerity," said the gentleman and handed him a hundred dollar bill.
“我很赞赏你的真诚，”绅士说着递给他一张100美元的钞票。
"Sir," commented James as he took the money, "you have made me very unhappy."
“先生，”詹姆斯拿了钱说，“您让我很不幸福。”
