英语美文：有一种幸福

　　In different backgrounds, I am playing different roles. Among different groups, I see different faces. Only then did I realize there would not be a word called "pure" in our society. Intangibly I often touch different eye expressions from many other people, which mirror kind of arrogance². They often shout at those who are in lower status roughly. Every time I see these men, "angry" can hardly convey my feelings. Deep out of my heart, I show a great sympathy on them. They are too piteous because they don't even know what is love and respect.

　　Today no matter you are director of the board, manager, head of the department, or others with more authorities, there is no reason or right at all for you to look down upon anyone around you, because everyone has his own value to our society and their own self-esteem. Now maybe you are the director of the board, but without those with a lower status working painstakingly⁴ for you, how can you maintain your position so stably? Now maybe you are of great authority, but without the obedience⁵ of the public, how can you promote yourself with your so-called "authority"? In our world there exist some people living to their heart's content. They are primarily those kind and modest.

　　Looking at the clean ground beneath your feet, you should know to own it to the environmental cleaners. Enjoying a decent house, you should know to own it to the constructors. Appreciating the toothsome food on the table, you should own it to the peasants industriously⁶ working on the farm. Maybe they inferior to you in terms of social status, but you can never look down upon them, for they are the greatest contributors in our society. Now however much money you possess, it cannot become stuff automatically without exchange. Here the "stuff" precisely⁷ comes up under the painstaking³ efforts of those you look down upon.

　　Anyone should be respect so long as he is working hard. Though his salary is awkward, he gets with his labor⁸, which thereby⁹ is much better than that stolen or robbed. Not all the people are born with a silver spoon in his mouth. There are always some people doomed¹⁰ to be average and poor. Therefore, do not outface others.

　　Are you wealthy today? If yes, remember not to be over-proud! Are you poor? If yes, remember not to be discouraged, for there is another happiness that cannot be measured between poverty and wealth.
