Hints for Those That Would Be Rich
致富之道
The use of money is all the advantage there is in having Money.
有钱的唯一好处就在于用钱。
For six pounds a year you may have the use of one hundred pounds if you are a man of known
prudence1 and honesty.
如果你是一个节俭而诚实的人，一年六英镑就可以当一百英镑的钱使用。
He that spends a groat a day idly, spends idly above six pounds a year, which is the price of using one hundred pounds.
一天浪费四便士的人，一年就浪费六个多英镑，而六英镑相当于一百英镑的使用价值。
He that wastes idly a groat's worth of his time per day, one day with another, wastes the privilege of using one hundred pounds each day.
每天虚度值四便士的时间的人，日复一日，等于浪费了每天使用一百英镑的权利。
He that idly loses five shillings worth of time, loses five shillings and might as
prudently2 throw five shillings into the River.
一个游手好闲而损失了价值五先令时间的人，就是失去了五个先令，他还不如把五先令扔进河里的好。
He that loses five shillings not only loses that sum, but all the advantage that might be made by turning it in
dealing3, which, by the time that a young man becomes old, will amount to a comfortable sum of Money.
一个失去五先令的人，不仅失去了这笔钱，还失去了把钱用于经商可能带来的好处，而一个年轻人到年老的时候这笔钱就等同于一笔可观的财产。
