中英双语美文68 | 论普通人和富豪的5大区别

1.The middle class live comfortably, the rich embrace being uncomfortable

中等收入的人生活得舒适，而有钱人则“找罪受”

“Be willing to be uncomfortable. Be comfortable being uncomfortable. It may get tough, but it’s a small price to pay for living a dream。”

-Peter McWilliams

“甘愿找罪受，舒服也成了不舒服，也许有些艰难，但是那是为了梦想付出的一点小代价”--------彼得·麦克威廉

The middle class think being comfortable means being happy, but the rich realize that extraordinary things happen when we put ourselves in uncomfortable situations. Starting your own business is a risk and risks can be uncomfortable, but a little risk is what it takes to create wealth and achieve superior results。

中产阶级的人认为舒适就是快乐，但是有钱人则认为当我们把自己置于一个不舒服的环境下会发生不平凡的事。自己创业有一定的风险，风险是让人很不舒服的，但是风险会创造出财富，得到一个较好的结果。

2. The middle class climb the corporate ladder, the rich own the ladder

中等收入的人喜欢帮着别人干，有钱人则有自己的打算

The middle class tend to work for someone else. They have a job. A career. Upper middle class tend to be self-employed. They own a job. The rich tend to own the business. The rich understand that they need more people working for them to earn more money。

中等收入的人喜欢为别人打工，他们有工作，有职业。中等偏上收入的人倾向于自我雇佣，他们有一份工作。有钱人则倾向于有自己的企业。有钱人知道他们需要更多的人为他们工作来赚更多的钱。

3.The middle class are friends with everyone, the rich choose wisely

中等收入的人和每个人都是朋友，而有钱人则是明智的挑选

The rich understand that when you surround yourself with successful people, your own success will follow. Likewise, surrounding yourself with unsuccessful people tends to have the anticipated effect。

富人知道当你周围都是有钱人的时候，成功就会不期而至，同样的，在你身边都是不成功的人，那结果也会和预期一样。

4.The middle class work to earn, the rich work to learn

中等收入的人是为了赚钱而工作，而富人是为了学习而工作

The middle class are easily persuaded to change jobs when someone offers more money. The rich understand that working isn’t about the money, especially in the early years. It’s about developing the skills and traits you need to develop to become rich。

有人愿意给高一点的工资，中等收入的人就愿意换工作。富人很清楚特别是在早期的时候工作并非是为了钱。而是要培养技能，发展能让以后成为有钱人的品质。

5.The middle class focus on saving, the rich focus on earning

中等收入的人看重的是存钱，而富人则看中如何赚钱

Saving is important. Investing may be more important, but earning is the foundation of both. You understand that you need to save and invest, but to really achieve extravagant goals with them, you need to earn more。

存钱固然重要，投资可能更重要，但是赚钱是这两者的基础。你知道你得存钱和投资，但是要在此基础上实现更大的目标，你还需要赚得更多。
