Money is a singular thing. It ranks with love as man's greatest source of joy. And with death as his greatest source of anxiety. Over all history it has oppressed nearly all people in one of two ways: either it has been abundant and very unreliable, or reliable and very scarce.

钱是独一无二的东西。它和爱一样,是人类最大的快乐源泉。而死亡是他最大的焦虑来源。纵观历史,它以两种方式压迫着几乎所有的人:要么是资源丰富但极不可靠,要么是可靠而稀缺。

The problem with borrowing money is that as soon as one has, one inevitably begins to think of it as one's own. One becomes used to it, treats it like family, and may even come to resent or lose sight of the fact that it must all someday leave to visit someone else.

借钱的问题在于,一旦你有了钱,你就不可避免地开始把它当作自己的钱。一个人会习惯它,把它当成家人,甚至可能开始怨恨或忽视这样一个事实,那就是总有一天它会离开去拜访别人。
