小故事

You'll Soon Get Used to It
你不久就会习惯的
An man died and left his son a lot of money. But the son was a foolish young man, and he quickly spent all the money, so that soon he had nothing left.
一个人死了，留给他儿子一大笔钱。可是他儿子是个愚蠢的年轻人，他很快就花光了所有的钱，不久后就一文不名了。
Of course, when that happened, all his friends left him. When he was quite poor and alone, he went to see a kind, clever old man and often helped people when they had troubles.
当然，在这种时候，他所有的朋友都离开了他。在他又穷又孤独的时候，他去见了一位常帮人脱困的慈祥又智慧的老者。
"My money has finished and my friends have gone," said the youna man. "What will happen to me now?"
“我没钱了，我的朋友们也都跑了，”年轻人说，“我还能怎么样？”
"Don't worry, young man," answered the old man. "Everything will soon be all right again. Wait, and you will soon feel much happier."
“别担心，年轻人”，老者答道，“一切都会好起来的，等着瞧吧，不久后你就会再快乐起来的。”
The young man was very glad. "Am I going to get rich again then?" he asked the old man.
“年轻人听了很高兴。那么，我又会有钱了吗？”他问老者。
"No, I didn't mean that," said the old man. "I mean that you would soon get used to being poor and to having no friends."
“不是的，我不是那个意思，”老者说，“我的意思是你不久后就会习惯于没钱和没朋友的日子了。”
