初中英语短作文：健康还是财富？
英语课
Which is more important, health or wealth? When given this question, different people have varied 1 answers. Some insist that health plays a more important role in our life, while others see more advantages arising from wealth.
健康和财富，哪个更重要?当这个问题被提出来的时候，不同的人有不同的答案。有些人坚持认为，在我们生活中，健康扮演者更为重要的角色，然而其他人认为健康能带给我们更多利益。
The first group of people quote 2 the old saying "Health is above wealth" to prove their idea. They argue that, on the one hand, a strong person can do almost anything as long as he/she tries hard. On the other hand, however, rich people will not be able to enjoy the wealth if their days are numbered.
支持健康更重要的人引用了一句俗语“健康就是财富”来证明他们的观点(是正确的)。他们认为，在某一方面来说，强壮的人，只要他们肯努力，那他们几乎能做任何事情。可是，从另一方面来说，如果有钱人活着的日子屈指可数的话，那他们将没法享受健康。
In contrast 3, the advocates 4 of wealth have such arguments as follows. For one thing, wealthy people will be able to buy more healthful foods. For another, they can enjoy better facilities to improve their health. Take my neighbor, Lao Wang, as an example. He had a heart attack and is in hospital. However, he cannot afford the expensive operation, which costs as much as 100,000 yuan. Therefore, he has to lie in bed hopelessly. If he were a rich man, his life could be saved.
相反地，支持财富更为重要的人就有以下的争论。首先，有钱的人能买到更有益健康的食物。其次，他们可以享受能提高健康的设备。举个例子来说，我的邻居老王，他有严重的心脏病，并且正在住院(接受治疗)。可是，他没办法负担高达100，000的手术治疗费.因此，他只能毫无希望地躺在病床上。如果他是一个有钱人，那他就能得到治疗。
As far as I am concerned, both health and wealth are important to our life. We should try to strike a balance between them and gain wealth with a healthy body.
我认为，健康和财富对我们生活都很重要。我们应该努力试着在这两者之间做到平衡，并将财富与健康的身体相伴。
