英语演讲稿:金钱与荣誉 - 英语演讲稿 <br />the duality of money has been puzzling people since its first <br />appearante. on the one hand, clean money can sweeten your life, <br />help you succeed and be your lifelong faithful companion. on <br />the other hand, dirty money may posion your mind, ruin your <br />happiness and discard you suddenly as a false friend. <br /> the market economy tells us that everyone should earn a <br />living by selling something. professors sell their knowledge, <br />workers sell their labor, farmers sell their produce. money now <br />appears more powerful than anything else and drives people <br />crazy. the temptation of money often challenges ones honor. we <br />are not ashamed to make more money to have a better life by our <br />sweat. however,there is a widespread concern that millionaires <br />become the heroes no matter whether they make any contribution <br />to our society. some people try desperately to make big money, <br />which, more often than not, end up with degradation, corruption <br />and crime. <br /> though money is indispensable to our life, dirty money may <br />drag us into hell. there are many things no money can buy. we <br />will keep our honor intact at any cost because it is our soul. <br />love of money is the root of all evil. for myself, i would rather <br />die than dishonor myself for money.
