speaker:concluding statement Beginning for leader speaker:Various people have various answers.Some people think that money is the source of happiness.With money,one can buy whatever he enjoys.With money,one can do whatever he likes.So,in their minds,money can bring comfort,security,and so on.Money,as they think,is the source of happiness.But there are still a lot of others who think that money is the root of all evil.Money drives people to steal,to rob,and to break the law.A lot of people became criminals just because they were in search of money.And in the Western countries,there is

because he is never satisfied or he is troubled by various kinds of 名师资料总结-精品资料欢迎下载-名师精心整理-第 1 页，共 5 页 -problems.Therefore,although money is necessary for a happy life,it cant buy happiness.As we all know,money is an equivalent（US:ikwiv?l?nt）,you can use it to exchange items!However,for todays debating topic,we firmly believe that money cant buy happiness!For the following reasons:1.money in politics is just anequivalent,exchanging of goods,rather than the spirit!For example,many people have said money can buy gold,it s definitely,but can money buy gold medal or glory?2.aiming at the view held by our opponent that money can buy happiness,I have a question,through what channels does money buy happiness?in the stores,online,or purchase agent?So there is no way to buy happiness,it s impossible to trade.3.as a family story have all of you heard,a man on the street,asked a millionaire,why dont you go home?Rich man said he didn t have home.The guy with one finger,thats not your home?Rich answered,thats my house!Money even can buy the house,How Can money buy happiness!So we firmly believe that money cant buy happiness 参考译文：众所周知，金钱是一种等价物，可以交换各种物品。然而针对今天的辩题金钱能否买到幸福，我方坚定地认为金钱不能买到幸福。原因如下：1，金钱在政治学上只是一种等价物，交换的是物品，而不是精神！举个例子所说金钱能买到金子，不假！若说金钱能买到金牌（荣誉）能吗？2，针对辩友观点金钱能买到幸福，我提出质疑，金钱是通过什么途径买到幸福的？是店购，网购，还是代购。所以说幸福是没有任何途径购得的，幸福无法交易，无法买卖，那么金钱又怎能买到幸福？3，相信各位都听过一个耳熟能详的故事，一个人在街头问百万富翁为什么不回家？富翁答道他没家，那人手一指，那不是你家吗？富翁回答，那是我的房子。金钱连家都买不到，金钱又怎么能买到幸福。或者是辩友认为这位百万富翁的钱不够多，买不到家。金钱能买到许多东西，但金钱买不到的东西更多。这更多的东西就包括了幸福。所以我方坚定地认为，金钱不能买到幸福Ending for final speaker:I think that money is essential to life and we cannot do without money.But even though money is necessary to life,it cant buy happiness.Happiness is not something that can be measured by money.It is a state of mind.One can have plenty of money,with which he can buy whatever he wants,and at the same time he is not happy because he is never satisfied or he is troubled by various kinds of problems.Therefore,although money is necessary for a happy life,it cant buy happiness.Some questions for opponent:1.金钱很重要,但金钱绝不是一切.有许多东西是我们用金钱买不到的.金钱值多少钱?健康,真爱,智慧,它们又值多少?我敢打赌没有人能说得出来,因为它们是无价的.多少钱也无法买到时间,健康,真爱和智慧.这样,你还会认为金钱就是一切吗?Money is something.But money is not everything.There are many precious things 名师资料总结-精品资料欢迎下载-名师精心整理-第 2 页，共 5 页 -that we cant buy with money.How much does time cost?And how much is health?true love?wisdom?I bet no one knows.They are priceless.Money can buy none of them.So would you still think that money is everything?2.Money can buy a position,but can you buy respect?Money can buy blood,but can you buy life?Money can buy companions,but can you buy friends?Money can buy sex,but can you but love?If money can buy happiness,can you tell me why we can not buy them?3.钱，一个所有人都在追求的东西。过去人们常说：有了钱就等于有了一切。但是有了钱真的就可以得到一切吗？我并不这样想。钱确实很重要，可是钱并不是万能的。我们可以设想一下，如果我们被放在一个荒岛上，没有食物，没有交通，没有通讯，没有人群，没有一切。在此时此刻你还需要支票吗？Money is pursued by everyone.In the past people always said that if you have money,you have everything.But is it true?I dont think so.Money is important,but not omnipotent.We can imagine:we are trapped in a desolate island.No food,no transportation,no communication,no people,nothing is there.In this moment,do you think you really need a check?4.There is an old saying goes that“Time is gold and it is difficult for one to use gold to get time”.It s absolutely right.Time goes by without our noticing.Yesterday had become history,it s beyond redemption.Time and tide wait for no man.How can money buy youth and the young age?一寸光阴一寸金，寸金难买寸光阴。这句话讲得好。时光总在你不经意的时侯悄悄滑过。昨天，已成为历史，成为过去，你想挽回，是不可能的。岁月催人老，难道金钱能买回青春，能买回年轻吗？5.Everyone work hard for money,what they get is not only a sense of accomplishment but also a good income and a better life.Compared with the income during our debut into society,we have earned more today.But it doesnt add our enjoyment.Even there are more unhappy than before.If money can buy happiness,can you explain why they still feel unhappy?每个人每天这麼辛苦的工作，除了得到成就感之外，更希望有不错的收入，过好的生活。相较於初入社会时的收入，如今的收入确实有增加，可是快乐的程度并没有增加，甚至比以前更不快乐。为何会是如此？Supporting examples:Money Does Not Ensure Happiness Researchers have found the association between a larger income and happiness is greatly exaggerated and is mostly fantasy.研究者发现，人们对于高收入和快乐之间的联系其实是过于夸大了，并幻想收入高了就会更名师资料总结-精品资料欢迎下载-名师精心整理-第 3 页，共 5 页 -快乐。In a study to be published in the June 30 issue of Science,scientists found that the role of income is less significant than predicted and that people with higher incomes do not necessarily spend more time in more enjoyable ways.在六月三十日的 科学 杂志中发表的一项研究中表明：令我们快乐的所有因素中，收入没有我们预想的那么重要，那些高收入的人往往不能花更多的时间享受快乐。People surveyed about their own happiness and that of others with varying incomes tended to overstate the impact of income on well-being,according to the new study.根据新的研究表明，接受调查的人以及不同收入水平的人都会夸大收入对他们快乐的影响能力。Two Princeton professors,economist Alan B.Krueger and psychologist and Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman,collaborated with colleagues from three other universities on the study,being published in the June 30 issue of Science.The new findings build on their efforts to develop alternative methods of gauging the well-being of individuals and of society.两位普林斯顿教授，经济学家 Alan B.Krueger 和心理学家、诺贝尔奖得主Daniel Kahneman和来自另外三所大学的同事携手进行研究，他们的研究的成果刊登在六月三十号的报刊上。The new measures are based on peoples ratings of their actual experiences,instead of a judgment of their lives as a whole.他们努力设计了个人幸福感和社会的幸福感的测量方法。新的方法是基于人们实际生活的等级而不是对他们整个生活的评价。“The belief that high income is associated with good mood is widespread but mostly illusory,”the researchers wrote.“People with above-average income are relatively satisfied with their lives but are barely happier than others in moment-to-moment experience,tend to be more tense,and do not spend more time in particularly enjoyable activities.”“高收入和好的心情息息相关这种信念广为流传，其实是一种幻觉，”研究者写道，“收入在平均水平以上的人们相对来说比较满意他们的生活，但是并不比其他人更快乐，并且他们更加紧张，没有更多的时间享受生活。”Arguments 1.Besides,a person may lose his reason and go astray if he intends only to seek wealth and indulges himself in leading a luxurious life.For example,there are some government officials who take advantage of their positions to take bribes 名师资料总结-精品资料欢迎下载-名师精心整理-第 4 页，共 5 页 -from the people turning to them for help.Obviously,wealth may bring us disasters if we dont take a proper attitude to it.In my opinion,on no account can we equate happiness with wealth.I also believe that one should never reckon only on wealth to achieve happiness.此外，如果一个人一心追求财富并沉溺于奢侈的生活，他就会失去理智、误入岐途。例如,甚至还有一些政府官员利用他们的职位向求助者索贿。显然，如果我们不能正确对待财富的话，它也可能给我们带来灾难。依我看,无论如何我们也不能把财富和幸福等同起来。我还认为人们永远也不应该只依仗财富去获得幸福2.现在的人们因为把钱看的太重，所以失去了很多东西，甚至生命。俗话说“人为财死，鸟为食亡”，人们的很多烦恼都是因为金钱而来的。钱能买到权利，但买不到别人的尊重。钱能买到房子，但买不到家庭。钱能买到整个迪士尼，但它买不来真正的快乐。Now many people have lost a lot,even their lives because they care too much for money.There is a saying goes that A man will die for money,like a bird dies for food.Money brings much trouble to people.It can buy rights,but not respect;it can buy a house,but not a family;it can buy the whole Disney Land,but not real happiness.3.The more you make,the more you want.The more you have,the less it brings you joy,says Daniel Gilbert,a psychology professor at Harvard.We incorrectly assume well get more pleasure from more,and we dont.“你赚 得越多，欲望就越多。你拥 有的越多，得到的喜悦就越少。”哈佛大 学心理 学教授丹尼尔?吉尔勃特 说：“我们误 以为我们会 因为拥 有越多而更快 乐，其 实不会。4.To really be happy,you need to understand what makes you happy in the first place.One secret of happiness:people.Surveys have found that people need people.Those who have five or more close friends are 50 percent more likely to describe themselves as very happy.Good relationships have a far greater effect on happiness than large raises in salary.Andrew Oswald is an economist at Englands University of Warwick.He says,If youre looking for happiness in life,find the right husband or wife rather than trying to double your salary.为了要 真正的快 乐，首先 你必须了解什 么让你 快乐。快乐的一 个秘诀在于人。一些 调查报 告发现 人与人彼此需要。拥有五个或更多 亲密朋友的人自认“非常快 乐”的机 会 高出他人 50%。美满的人 际关 系对能否快 乐的影响程度 远胜于薪水大幅调升。安德 鲁?奥斯瓦德是英 国华 威大 学的经济学 家，他 说：“如果 你在寻觅 幸福人生，找一个合适的配偶 吧，而不是想 办法赚两 倍的薪水。”5.-Franklin Roosevelt said Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money,it lies in the joy of achievement,in the thrill of creative effort.幸福不在于 拥有金 钱，而在于 获得成就 时的快 乐以及 产生创造力 时的惊喜。-罗斯福名师资料总结-精品资料欢迎下载-名师精心整理-第 5 页，共 5 页 -
