Passage Two
段落二
Some people want to make and save a lot of money in order to retire early.
有些人想赚取和存放许多钱，为了自己能提前退休。
I see people pursuing higher paying and increasingly demanding careers to accomplish this goal.
我看到人们为了追求更高的薪水和越来越高要求的职业来实现这一目标。
They make many personal sacrifices in exchange for income today. The problem is that tomorrow might not come.
他们做出了很多个人牺牲才换来了今天的收入。但问题是明天可能不会到来。
Even if it all goes according to plan, will you know how to be happy when you are not working if you spend your entire life making money?
即使你一切按计划进行，假如你花费整个生命去赚钱，当你不工作时你知道怎样才快乐吗？
More importantly, who will be around for you to share your leisure time with?
更重要的是，谁和你一起分享你的休闲时光呢？
At the other extreme are people who live only for today.
另一个极端是有的人只活在当下。
Why bother saving when I might not be here tomorrow? They argue.
他们认为明天自己可能就不在了，为什么还要存钱。
The danger of this approach is that tomorrow may come after all.
这个危险想法的问题是明天依旧会到来。
And most people don't want to spend all their tomorrows working for a living. The earlier neglect of saving, however, makes it difficult not to work when you are older.
很多人不想去花费他们所有的明天去谋生。然而，早期忽视储蓄，晚年时你就不得不工作。
You may be surprised to hear me say that if you must pick an extreme I think it's better to pick the spend-all approach.
你也许会惊讶我这么说，如果你必须选择一个极端的方法，我认为最好是花光所有。
As long as you don't mind continuing to work, assuming your health allows, you should be OK.
如果你的健康状态还允许，只要你不介意继续工作就没问题。
At least, you are making use of your money, and hopefully deriving value and pleasure from it.
至少你充分利用了你的钱，从中体会到了它的价值和乐趣。
Postponing doing what you love and being with people you love until retirement can be a mistake. It may never come.
推迟做你喜爱做的事、推迟和喜欢的人在一起，直到退休才去实现是错误的决定。这些可能永远都不会到来。
Retirement can be a great time for some people. For others, it is a time of boredom, loneliness and poor health.
对一些人来说，退休是一件很棒的事情；而对于其他人，退休可能会很无聊、孤单、身体不佳。
