这个故事听起来似乎有些傻，但这正是钱买不到快乐的最好证明——有吃不完的美食，看不够的鲜花，但你仍然会抱怨人生苦短，难道不是吗？ 有这样一句名言：“当我们为金钱忙碌的时候，我们没有时间悲伤，也没有时间快乐”（When we are busy making money，we have no time to be sad or happy）。这句话看似是在说金钱的坏话，但其实并不是这样的。就像故事里那个妻子一样，她并没有嫌弃自己的男人没有本事，为自己创造财富，反而主动帮助男人致富，他们之间的爱才是金钱买不到的真正快乐之源。 当一个人为了金钱而拼命工作的时候，并不是他热爱这个赚钱的过程，而是因为他没有能力以其他的方式获取生活所需，所以只能屈从于金钱。这时金钱就像拐杖或者假肢一样，成了他生活中必不可少的工具，而不是最终的目的。
Money makes people happy to a certain degree. That is， when people earn enough money to satisfy their necessities such as food， cloth and house， they tend to be much happier than those who fail to afford their lives. Meanwhile， as for the people who have earned a reasonable income， more money will bring more happiness.
With sufficient money， people can eat something tasty and nutritious instead of eating something they should not eat. Or， people can see their doctor more frequently in order to prevent from being ill， hence， can stay healthy and cheer up. Plus， a quite apartment and a soft bed are good chances for a sound sleep and mental rest. If you can get these out of your money， you will certainly be happier.
If you have gotten these necessities， is you still have plenty of money at your disposal， you will be much happier. This is because you are able to do more fun things with your money. You may go overseas， you may travel all around the world. You may go clubbing and dancing. Or， if you are a sports lover， maybe you can sponsor a football team of your own. With money， your happiness can be multiplied and the best thing is that there is no limit.
