翻译：
一位牧师，一位拉比（犹太教神父），一位医生与一位律师聚集在他们朋友的墓地边哀悼她的去世。
牧师对其它人说：“我想，我们的好朋友会乐意带上一些东西到他的第二次生命去的。”然后他从钱包掏出100美元并放到棺材上。
拉比赞同地说：“这是个好主意！”他也把100美元放到棺材上。
医生不想落在别人后面，也放下了100美元。
律师盯着他朋友的棺材咕哝着说：“多棒的主意呀！”突然他抽出笔，很快地写了一张400美元的支票，把它放在棺材上，并把另三张100美元当找头拿走了。

可以吗这个？

Answer 2

Money is indeed important, but money cannot buy everything. A miser may think that “money talks,” but if you only give your attention to making money, you may lose many things, such as health, friendship and love. I don't think we should regard money as everything. Money is just a tool that can help us solve problems or enable us to live a comfortable life. What we should do is to use it appropriately and not become misers. This way, all of us can lead a happier lives.
in nowadys, money is an important part for our lives. about the attitude at money, there are some different opinions. some people say, money is very important for me. i cant do anything if i dont have money. i cant travel to any place if i dont have money. i cant pay the charge of my life if i dont have money. my children cant go to school if i dont have money. so i cant live without money. but some people dont think so. they say, if you were ill teribly, even you have much money, you cant get the useful medicine, money cant save your life. if you commit a crime(犯罪）,you still must be in the prison, you cant get free because of your money. so money is not everything for my life. every one has their own opinion. what is your opinion?

Money and the Meaning of Life
Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meanlng of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week.From the way they spend their money, they can see what they
really value in life.
He says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have a wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn't. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.
People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life7 In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.
