Is money everything?Money Is Not Everything Money can buy a house, but not a home. Money can buy a bed, but not sleep.Money can buy a clock, but not time. Money can buy a book, but not knowledge.
Money can buy you a position, but not respect. Money can buy you medicine, but not health.
Money can buy a friend, but not love. Money can buy you blood, but not life.What can we learn from this story? We shouldn’t judge people by appearance.

（在餐馆外边，亨利看了看那封信的信封，没有打开， 然后决定走进餐馆。他在靠近前边窗户的一张桌子旁坐 了下来）
店 主：（看看亨利的那幅穷酸相）那张桌子有人订了。 请到这边来。（对服务员）霍勒斯，来等先生点菜。
亨 利：（坐定之后，把信放在桌上）我要火腿加鸡蛋， 还来一块大牛排，要特厚的。我还要一杯咖啡，一份菠
萝甜点。
服务员：好的，先生。恐怕这得花费一大笔钱。 亨 利：我明白。我还要一大杯啤酒。
服务员：行。（服务员离开了，很快把所有的食物端上
来）
女老板：天哪！你看他，吃起东西来就像头狼。店主：瞧着吧，看他是不是像狼一样机灵？
亨利：（刚吃完了所有的东西）喂，服务员。（服务 员过来了）同样的东西请再来一份，呃，再来一大杯 啤酒。
服务员：每样东西都再来一份吗？
亨利：是，没错。（看着服务员脸上的神色）有什么 不对吗？
服务员：不，没什么不对。（对店主）他再要一份同 样的食物。
店主：嗯，许多美国人喜欢吃得多，这是大家都知道 的。哦，我们得冒点儿风险。去吧，让他吃吧。
服务员：（饭后念账单）好了。两份火腿家鸡蛋，两 份特厚的牛排，两大杯啤酒，两杯咖啡和两份甜点。 亨利：（望着墙上的挂钟）请等几分钟好吗？
服务员：（很不耐烦地）还等什么？店主：霍勒斯，行啦，这儿由我来照应。
亨利：（对店主）这餐饭吃得真棒。从生活中如此简单 的东西之中竟能得到这么大的乐趣，真是令人吃惊，特 别是当你暂时吃不到这些东西的时候。
店主：是的，很有意思。如果你现在能付账的话，我就 可以去照顾别的顾客了。
亨利：（又望着墙上的挂钟）好了，我看两点钟到了。
（他把信封拆开，那是一张百万英镑的钞票。亨利感到 吃惊，店主和服务员惊呆了）很抱歉，我……我……我 没有小一点儿的钞票。
店主：（还在发呆，而且有点儿紧张）好……嗯……， 等一会儿。玛吉，来瞧瞧！（女老板尖叫起来，其他顾 客都望着她，于是，她用手捂住了嘴巴）你看这张钞票 是真的吗？
女老板：天哪，我不知道。我真不知道。
店主：嗯，我确实听说过英格兰银行发行了两张这样面 值的钞票……不管怎样，我觉得这不可能是假钞。这么 大面值的钞票会特别引人注意的。小偷可不想引起别人 的注意。
女老板：但是他穿得破破烂烂的！店主：也许他是一个非常怪异而富有的人。（如梦初醒 似的）啊，对了，一定是这样的。
女老板：（在她丈夫的手臂上打了一下）是你把他带到 餐厅后面去的，还不马上去看看他。
店主：（对亨利）先生，对不起，非常对不起，这张钞 票我们找不开。
亨利：而我身上就只带了这张钞票。
店主：哎呀，先生，请别着急，一点儿也没关系。我们 非常高兴你能走进我们这家小吃店。先生，真的，我希 望您随时光临。
亨利：这，你太好了。
店主：我太好了？不，先生，是您太好了。您什么时候 想来就来，想吃什么就吃什么。您就是在这儿坐一下也 是我们莫大的荣幸！至于说账单嘛，先生，请把它忘了 吧。
亨利：忘了它？喔……，那就太谢谢了。你太好了。 店主：啊，先生，该是我们谢谢您呢。先生，我从心底 里感谢您。
（当亨利离开的时候，店主、女老板和服务员都一齐向
他鞠躬）餐厅点餐常用到的表达：

NARRATOR: Henry smiles as he leaves the restaurant. When he is walking down the street, he sees a sign for a barber’s. In a shop window, he looks at his own hair. Since it is too long, he decides to get it cut.
H = Henry B = Barber R = rude manSample writing:H: Good afternoon, I’d like to get a cut, if I may. (The barber looks at Henry’s hair and continues cutting another man’s hair.) Er, I’d really like a haircut. As you can see it’s much too long.
B: (in a rude manner) Yes, I can see that. Indeed, I can.H: Fine, well, I’ll have a seat then. (He sits in one of the barber’s chairs.
The barber turns to look at Henry)
B: It’s quite expensive here, you know! Are you sure you can afford it?
H: Yes. I think so. (In comes the rude man.)R: Hey you there. I need a haircut quickly. Can you do me straightaway?
B: All right, then, get in the chair and I’ll see what I can do.
R: Thank you. (sits down in one of the barber’s chairs)H: Excuse me, but I was here first.
Aren’t you going to do my hair first?
B: This man’s in a hurry.
H: Well, so am I! I insist that you cut my hair first.
B: OK, but I’ll have to be quick. This
gentleman is waiting.H: Thank you. (They both become quiet. After his hair is cut, the barber tells Henry how much he must pay. Henry shows the barber the bank note).
