一、原文与翻译

1.原文

There are many people who think that wealth is better than health. I used to think so until one day i read a storyabout howard hughes. he was an american billionaire who got anything he wanted. however, in the last twenty years of his life, his health began to deteriorate and he was miserable. he had the best doctors and nurses. However, he could still find no relief. I realized that health is worth all the money in the world. If you have millions of dollars but your health is poor,you will not be able to do what you want to do. So I would like to say don't hurt yourself trying to make money. Instead take care of your body and be happy with what you do have.

2、翻译

许多人认为财富比健康更重要。我以前也是这么想的，直到有一天我读了一个关于霍华德·休斯的故事。他是一位美国亿万富翁，得到了他想要的一切。然而，在他生命的最后二十年里，他的健康开始恶化，他很痛苦。他有最好的医生和护士。然而，他仍然没有找到解脱。我意识到健康是值得所有的钱在世界上。如果你有数百万美元，但你的健康状况很差，你将无法做你想做的事。所以我想说，不要为了赚钱而伤害自己。相反，照顾好你的身体，对你所拥有的感到快乐
