Angela Johnson interviews ex-millionaire Jason Harley
For a lot of people， becoming a millionaire① is a symbol of success and they set this as their ultimate goal.[1]They spend half of their time dreaming up② ways of getting rich and achieving the success they expect， and the rest of their time thinking about③ all the things they will do once they become rich. But do all millionaires get the sense of success they were looking for after they achieve their goals？ Some continue to worry about④ money when they become millionaires — they worked hard to become wealthy， but then they need to continue making money so they don’t lose the sense of success they have achieved.However， there are people who have turned their backs on⑤ their millions and found other forms of success in their lives.Jason Harley is one example.
Sixteen years ago， Jason was a college professor⑥ with a huge six-bedroom house and a fortune⑦ of two million dollars.Today he lives in a small dormitory⑧ room with only second-hand furniture.[2]There are certainly no signs that Jason is a rich and successful man！ There is a small garden outside with a few fruit trees， which Jason enjoys taking care of⑨.He also grows some vegetables and a few flowers.He gets his clothes and a lot of other things from charity shops.
[1]本句是一个主从复合句。句中they expect是定语从句，先行词为success；they will do 是定语从句，先行词为things；once引导条件状语从句。
[2]本句是一个主从复合句。that引导同位语从句。
But Jason appreciates⑩ this change.He is pleased to give up the lifestyle of a rich man.He was tired of being regarded as living a successful life， as a person who had everything while many people had nothing.He made the choice to give all his money away .And this， he said， brought him happiness and a sense of success in life.
“I don’t need a lot of money.I don’t want to buy more things.I have enough，” said Jason.“What I want is to live simply and be helpful to others.A few years ago， I was a millionaire， but I knew millions of people died of hunger every year， and there were places with no schools and no teachers.So many people could never go to school.They didn’t have the chance to learn and get on in life.This worried me a lot and I felt very guilty being a rich man without doing anything.”
Therefore he gave away all his money to charities.[3]Whenever he had more than two thousand dollars， he would give away small bank notes to homeless people in the streets of local areas. “It was a kind of satisfaction and a real sense of success that I had never felt before，” said Jason.“Sure， many people think that ‘success’ means having millions in the bank or a well-paid job.But I think my sense of achievement comes from helping others and finding true meaning in life.”
Most people believe when they are living comfortably and earning enough money， they will have no worries.However， most people never feel they have earned enough. [4]Jason Harley decided to drop out of this kind of lifestyle， and he discovered that having only a little money made him free. Are there any things he misses from his past？ “No， I’m much happier now， because I am living according to my values.Success is not measured by how much money you have but by how you understand the true meaning of life.”
[3]本句是一个主从复合句。句中whenever引导让步状语从句。
[4]本句是and连接的并列句。在第二个分句中，that引导宾语从句，having only a little money为动词-ing短语作主语。

参考译文
安吉拉·约翰逊采访前百万富翁詹森·哈利 对于很多人来说，成为百万富翁是成功的象征，并将此作为他们的最终目标。他们花一半时间想象各种发财和达到他们期望的成功的办法，另一半时间则用来考虑一旦发了财他们会干什么。但是，百万富翁们都在实现目标后获得他们所寻求的成功感了吗？有些人成为百万富翁后仍然担心金钱问题——他们努力工作，变得富有，但他们需要继续赚钱，这样才不会丧失已经获得的成就感。然而有些人却放弃了百万家财，找到了人生中其他形式的成功。詹森·哈利就是一个例子。 十六年前，詹森是一名大学教授，拥有一套6间卧室的大房子和200万美元的财富。现在他住在一间只有二手家具的小宿舍里。显然没有迹象能表明詹森是一个富有且成功的人！房子外面有一个小花园，种了几棵果树，詹森很喜欢照顾它们。他还种了一些蔬菜和花。他从慈善商店买衣服和许多其他的东西。 但是詹森喜欢这种变化。他很高兴能放弃富人的生活方式。他厌倦了过别人眼中成功的生活——在很多人一无所有的时候自己却能够拥有一切。他决定把自己的钱财都捐赠出去。他说这给他的生活带来了快乐和成功感。 “我不需要很多钱，也不想再买更多的东西。我拥有的已经足够了，”詹森说。“我想要简单地生活并能帮助别人。几年前，我是一个百万富翁，但我知道每年有数百万人死于饥饿，而且有些地方没有学校和老师。很多人永远不能上学，他们没有接受教育和开启新生活的机会。这让我非常担心，作为一位富人不能有所作为，我感到非常内疚。” 因此，他把所有的钱都捐给了慈善机构。每当他的钱超过两千美元时，他就会给当地街头无家可归的人赠送小额钞票。“这是一种我从未感受过的满足感和真正的成功感，”詹森说。“当然，很多人认为‘成功’意味着有数百万银行存款或高薪的工作。但我认为我的成就感来自帮助他人并找到生命真正的意义。” 大多数人相信，当他们生活舒适并赚到足够的钱时，就可以高枕无忧了。但是，大多数人从未觉得自己赚够了。詹森·哈利决定放弃这种生活方式，他发现只拥有少量金钱使他获得了自由。和过去相比，他错过了什么吗？“不，现在我更开心，因为我依照自己的价值观生活。衡量成功与否不在于你有多少金钱，而在于你如何理解生命的真正意义。”

Angela Johnson interviews ex-millionaire Jason Harley
For a lot of people， becoming a millionaire① is a symbol of success
and they set this as their ultimate goal.[1]They spend half of their time
dreaming up② ways of getting rich and achieving the success they expect，
and the rest of their time thinking about③ all the things they will do once
they become rich.
But do all millionaires get the sense of success they were looking for after
they achieve their goals？ Some continue to worry about④ money when
they become millionaires — they worked hard to become wealthy， but
then they need to continue making money so they don’t lose the sense of
success they have achieved.However， there are people who have turned
their backs on⑤ their millions and found other forms of success in their
lives.Jason Harley is one example.
Sixteen years ago， Jason was a college professor⑥ with a huge six-
bedroom house and a fortune⑦ of two million dollars.Today he lives in a
small dormitory⑧ room with only second-hand furniture.[2]There are
certainly no signs that Jason is a rich and successful man！ There is a small
garden outside with a few fruit trees， which Jason enjoys taking care of
⑨.He also grows some vegetables and a few flowers.He gets his clothes and
a lot of other things from charity shops.

⑨take care of 护理；照顾
But Jason appreciates⑩ this change.He is pleased to give up the
lifestyle of a rich man.He was tired of being regarded as living a
successful life， as a person who had everything while many people had
nothing.He made the choice to give all his money away .And this， he
said， brought him happiness and a sense of success in life.
“I don’t need a lot of money.I don’t want to buy more things.I have
enough，” said Jason.“What I want is to live simply and be helpful to
others.A few years ago， I was a millionaire， but I knew millions of
people died of hunger every year， and there were places with no
schools and no teachers.So many people could never go to school.They
didn’t have the chance to learn and get on in life.This worried me a lot
and I felt very guilty being a rich man without doing anything.”
Therefore he gave away all his money to charities.[3]Whenever he
had more than two thousand dollars， he would give away small bank
notes to homeless people in the streets of local areas. “It was a kind of
satisfaction and a real sense of success that I had never felt before，” said
Jason.“Sure， many people think that ‘success’ means having millions in
the bank or a well-paid job.But I think my sense of achievement comes
from helping others and finding true meaning in life.”
Most people believe when they are living comfortably and earning
enough money， they will have no worries.However， most people never
feel they have earned enough. [4]Jason Harley decided to drop out of this
kind of lifestyle， and he discovered that having only a little money made
him free. Are there any things he misses from his past？ “No， I’m much
happier now， because I am living according to my values.Success is not
measured by how much money you have but by how you understand the
true meaning of life.”
[3]本句是一个主从复合句。句中whenever引导让步状语从句。
[4]本句是and连接的并列句。在第二个分句中，that引导宾语从
句，having only a little money为动词-ing短语作主语。

参考译文
安吉拉·约翰逊采访前百万富翁詹森·哈利
对于很多人来说，成为百万富翁是成功的象征，并将此作为
他们的最终目标。他们花一半时间想象各种发财和达到他们期望
的成功的办法，另一半时间则用来考虑一旦发了财他们会干什
么。但是，百万富翁们都在实现目标后获得他们所寻求的成功感
了吗？有些人成为百万富翁后仍然担心金钱问题——他们努力工
作，变得富有，但他们需要继续赚钱，这样才不会丧失已经获得
的成就感。然而有些人却放弃了百万家财，找到了人生中其他形
式的成功。詹森·哈利就是一个例子。
十六年前，詹森是一名大学教授，拥有一套6间卧室的大房子和
200万美元的财富。现在他住在一间只有二手家具的小宿舍里。显然
没有迹象能表明詹森是一个富有且成功的人！房子外面有一个小花
园，种了几棵果树，詹森很喜欢照顾它们。他还种了一些蔬菜和花。
他从慈善商店买衣服和许多其他的东西。
但是詹森喜欢这种变化。他很高兴能放弃富人的生活方式。他厌
倦了过别人眼中成功的生活——在很多人一无所有的时候自己却能够
拥有一切。他决定把自己的钱财都捐赠出去。他说这给他的生活带来
了快乐和成功感。
“我不需要很多钱，也不想再买更多的东西。我拥有的已经足够
了，”詹森说。“我想要简单地生活并能帮助别人。几年前，我是一个
百万富翁，但我知道每年有数百万人死于饥饿，而且有些地方没有学
校和老师。很多人永远不能上学，他们没有接受教育和开启新生活的
机会。这让我非常担心，作为一位富人不能有所作为，我感到非常内
疚。”
因此，他把所有的钱都捐给了慈善机构。每当他的钱超过两千美
元时，他就会给当地街头无家可归的人赠送小额钞票。“这是一种我
从未感受过的满足感和真正的成功感，”詹森说。“当然，很多人认为
‘成功’意味着有数百万银行存款或高薪的工作。但我认为我的成就感
来自帮助他人并找到生命真正的意义。”
大多数人相信，当他们生活舒适并赚到足够的钱时，就可以高枕
无忧了。但是，大多数人从未觉得自己赚够了。詹森·哈利决定放弃这
种生活方式，他发现只拥有少量金钱使他获得了自由。和过去相比，
他错过了什么吗？“不，现在我更开心，因为我依照自己的价值观生
活。衡量成功与否不在于你有多少金钱，而在于你如何理解生命的真
正意义。”
