Many people believe that a large income equal success.I believe,however,success is more than how much money you make.Measures of success also include fame,respect,and knowledge.

许多人认为有大量的收入等于成功。 然而,我相信,成功不仅仅是指你有多少钱。 成功还包括名誉、尊重和知识。

Becoming famous is one way to show one is success.So many scientists and researchers have made great contribution to our nation and they don’t possess too much wealth.But they are awarded with fame and great honors¹ and thus become nationwide well-known.No one could say they are not successful.I also believe that being respected by coworkers indicates success.Without that respect,money mean little.We just call people with big money and no respect “they are rich” and nothing more,while for those surrounded by respect,we’d like to say “This guy is really marvelous².He made it in his life.”

成名是显示成功的一种方式。许多科学家和研究人员为我们的国家作出了重大的贡献,虽然他们没有太多的财富，但是他们获得名望和伟大的荣誉,成为全国闻名的人物。 没有人能说他们不是成功的。 我也相信要尊敬同事意味成功。 没有尊重,金钱是小。 我们就叫人有资金仅仅说“他们是富人”而已,而对于那些被尊重包围的人说, “这家伙真的是了不起的，他的生活是成功的。”

In conclusion,we don’t memorize people simply because they were rich.Overall,we remember people who were influential³ in politics,or contributed to science or art or religion.If history is the ultimate⁴ judge of success,then money surely isn’t everything.

总之,我们不要仅仅因为别人有钱才记住他。 总的来说,我们记住人在政治上有影响力的人,或者记住那些对科学或艺术或宗教有贡献的人。如果历史是成功的最终的裁判，那么钱当然不是万能的。
