老人如何變得如此富有的。
A young man asked an old rich man how he made his money.
一位年輕人請(qǐng)教一位十分有錢的老人如何變得如此富有。
The old guy fingered his worsted wool vest and said, "Well, son, it was 1932. The depth of the Great Depression. I was down to my last nickel.
老人撫摸著身上的精紡羊毛衫說：“孩子啊，1932年，全國經(jīng)濟(jì)大蕭條，當(dāng)時(shí)我身上只有一個(gè)五分鎳幣。”
"I invested that nickel in an apple. I spent the entire day polishing the apple and, at the end of the day, I sold the apple for ten cents.
“我用這僅有的五分錢投資買了一個(gè)蘋果，然后用了一整天的時(shí)間來擦它，到了晚上的時(shí)候，我把這只蘋果賣掉了，賣了10分錢。”
"The next morning, I invested those ten cents in two apples. I spent the entire day polishing them and sold them at 5:00 pm for 20 cents. I continued this system for a month, by the end of which I'd accumulated a fortune of $1.37.
“第二天早上，我用這十分錢買了兩個(gè)蘋果，用了一整天的時(shí)間擦他們。大約下午5點(diǎn)左右，我把他們賣了，賣了20分錢。就這樣過了一個(gè)月，月末的時(shí)候，我居然一共掙了一塊三毛七。”
"Then my wife's father died and left us two million dollars."
“這時(shí)，我的岳父去世了，留給了我們兩百萬。”
