2024年12月六级第1套选词填空原文翻译及答案解析

With the rapid progress in the economy, it is natural that people's ideology is bound for change. Being __26__ is no longer a virtue to some people, and they are not alone in holding this view. Each might have different viewpoints on how to lead one's lifestyle: some prefer simplicity, some love luxuries, some spend __27__, some accumulate as much as they can like a country mouse. As I was born poor and in the countryside, the simple rural life seldom loses its __28__ to me, but as my station changes, I have an opportunity to __29__ with the newly rich, an experience which has revolutionized my view of lifestyle.

随着经济的快速发展，人们的思想观念必然发生变化是自然的。节俭对一些人来说不再是美德，并且持这种观点的不止他们一人。每个人对如何引领生活方式可能有不同的看法：一些人偏好简约，一些人热爱奢侈，一些人挥霍无度，一些人像乡下老鼠一样尽可能多地积累财富。由于我出生贫穷且在乡村，简单的乡村生活很少失去对我的吸引力，但随着我的身份变化，我有机会与暴发户交往，这段经历彻底改变了我的生活方式观。

It is evil or sinful to spend little and to save much, an idea only recently being revealed to me. Actually the whole world is in a __30__ to borrow and to spend, with the USA leading the trend. The USA is still the richest and most powerful country in the world, but the __31__ is that they borrow money from us. Though a __32__ of economics, at least I know that investing with borrowed money will turn the borrower into the __33__ rather than the decent and kind lender. An apparent case is real estate. Those who are __34__ and have got loans from the bank become relatively rich by selling their purchased home at a price several folds higher. Even education is not immune from this theory. Many of those poor parents who have the vision to send their children to college have benefited from this investment, even though they have to __35__ a living. It is reasonable to conclude that spending is praiseworthy, supposing it is not beyond your means.

少花钱多储蓄是邪恶或有罪的，这个观念直到最近才向我揭示。实际上，全世界都热衷于借贷和消费，美国引领着这一趋势。美国仍然是世界上最富有和最强大的国家，但讽刺的是，他们向我们借钱。尽管是经济学的门外汉，至少我知道，用借来的钱投资会使借款人变成捕食者，而不是体面善良的贷款人。一个明显的例子是房地产。那些精明并从银行获得贷款的人，通过以数倍的价格出售他们购买的房产而变得相对富有。即使是教育也不能免于这一理论。许多有远见送孩子上大学的贫穷父母从这项投资中受益，尽管他们不得不勉强度日。可以合理地得出结论，只要不超出你的能力范围，消费是值得赞扬的。
