英语沙龙:Wealth Success and Love财富成功还有爱
A woman saw three old men sitting in her front yard. She said, “I don’t think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat. ”
“We do not go into a house together. ”they replied.
“Why is that？”she wanted to know.
One of the old men explained：“His name is Wealth, this is Success, and I am Love. ”Then he added 2, “Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home. ”
Then the woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband said, “Let’s invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth.”His wife disagreed 3, “My dear, why don’t we invite Success？”Then the daughter made a suggestion：“Would it be better to invite Love？Our home will then be filled with love.”“Let’s take our daughter’s advice. ”said the father.
So the woman went out and asked, “Which one of you is Love？Please come in and be our guest. ”Love got up and started walking toward 4 the house. The other two also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success：“I only invited Love. Why are you coming in？”
The old men replied together：“If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would have stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever 5 HE goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success.”
财富 成功 还有爱
一个妇女看见有三位老人坐在她家的前院里, 就对他们说：“我想我不认识你们, 但你们一定饿了吧。那就请进屋吃点东西吧！”
“我们不会一起进屋的。”三个人异口同声地答道。
“为什么？”妇女感到奇怪。
其中一位老人解释道：“他叫‘财富’, 这是‘成功’, 而我则是‘爱’, ”他补充道, “现在你回屋去, 和你丈夫商量一下, 愿意让我们中的哪一位进去。”
妇女便进屋把一切告诉了她丈夫。她丈夫说：“我们请‘财富’吧, 让他进来, 使我们的家充满财富！”妻子不同意：“我说亲爱的, 我们为什么不邀请‘成功’呢？”这时, 他们的女儿建议道：“请‘爱’会不会更好呢？那样我们的家就会充满爱了！”“我们听女儿的吧。”父亲说。
于是, 妇女便出来问道：“请问哪一位是‘爱’呀？请进屋做客吧！”‘爱’站了起来, 向屋子走去。另外两个人也站了起来, 跟在‘爱’的身后。妇女很惊讶, 便问‘财富’和‘成功’：“我只邀请了‘爱’, 怎么你们也来了呢？”
三位老人再次异口同声地答道：“如果你邀请‘财富’或是‘成功’, 我们中的另外两个就会待在外面, 但是既然你邀请了‘爱’, 无论他走到哪里, 我们都会跟着他。因为哪里有‘爱’, 哪里就会有‘财富’和‘成功！’”
