新視野大學(xué)英語視聽說教程第二冊 Unit 7 Now Your Turn

A: I really hope I can make a fortune. If I had a lot of money, I’d be as happy as a king.

B: Do you really believe so? I have my doubts about it.

A: Of course, why wouldn’t I? If I were a millionaire, there’s nothing I couldn’t buy.

B: Well, can you but health? Can you but true friendship?

B: Maybe not. But I can but a big house and car, and make my life more comfortable.

A: Maybe you have a point there. Money can bring material comforts. But don’t forget, there are also divorces and suicides among wealthy people.

B: Well, there is some truth in what you said. Money cannot but real happiness.
